Mocking the dead is usually considered bad form, but as with other dead rogue despots, KJI is fair game on The Overnight Open Thread.

That’s a capital “i” and a lower case “L” in the title. God forbid we get ridiculed by a magical jazzy ponytail on The Overnight Open Thread.

Update II: Korean children sing praises of Kim Jong Il:
North Korea has announced the death of it’s leader Kim Jong-il.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Kim Jong Il, North Korea’s mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69.
Kim’s death was announced Monday by state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.
Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media.
The fall out from this is unpredictable.
In humorous rememberance to the late Macho Man Randy Savage…
