Today Kim Jong-il, the "Dear Leader" of the D.P.R.K., the "Sun of the 21st Century", the "Beloved Father of the Korean Nation" (*), the "Greatest Commander on Earth, Created in Heaven" etc., etc... celebrates his 67th birthday!

 
And with him - of course - the entire world pupulation is celebrating, according to KCNA

But despite Don Kirk's prediction that the Dear Leader's party will be a blast (Asia Times, 2.14) so far there's nothing special going on. No Taepodong missile attack against Alaska/USA, no naval battle in the Yellow Sea... What a drag!! (**)

* The "Korean Nation" means - of course - the entire Korean nation, incl. S. Korea!!
** But it might be that the "Dear Leader" is celebrating his birthday with binge drinking... and tomorrow he'll be screwed! And sooner or later he'll bite the dust - hopefully!
