Technically, he died two days ago, but they only released the information today.

My father has the weirdest pet theory that the N. Koreans have perfected human cloning. Kim Jong Il looks eerily like his father, and his son, Kim Jong Un, is on his way to looking like Il, just needs a few more years. (Side note: Kim Jong Un has his own "looking at things" Tumblr. Who'd have thought? Ahh, Internet, never change.)

Either way, I have very little hope that there will any significant regime changes; be it foreign affairs or internal policy or even nuclear arms.
