Kim Jong's ill?

What if you threw a party and didn't come? That seems to be the case in North Korea where the country celebrates 60 years of, well, umm ... surviving? The always reliable CIA and the Japanese intelligence service both believe that North Korea's maximum dictator for life suffered a stroke in August. But the North Koreans bravely soldiered on with a lower-key party, attended by civil defense units rather than the real army. The cabinet, however, declared that its army could still "mercilessly punish invaders" whether it had "Dear Leader" or not. So even though the old man didn't come out and play, the nation partied anyway. Hail to the chief.
