    Stories range from: Kim laid up with gout; to laid up with broken ankles (because he's fat); to having been overthrown.

    And then the North Korean officials going to South Korea for some high level talks; there was hope maybe relations were going to improve ...

    I read the gout thing a few weeks ago. Apparently the only times they have released video of him in public the last few months, he was walking with a limp.

    It's fascinating how in this age of instant information in the Western World, a place like that exists and we are left speculating about him and what is going on.

    Do they really have nukes? Nobody outside knows for sure, and if they do have nukes, it would be a small-small scale atom bomb, not something mounted to a missile that can reach the U.S. Every time they do one of those staged days where they roll all of their military equipment through Pyongyang, it consists of a bunch of Soviet era weapons being dragged on horse trailers.
