Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

First Castro, but now is Kim Jong-il also "Not Feeling Well"?
From Australia Herald:

Kim Jong-il, 64, is reported to have diabetes and other medical problems involving his kidney and liver.

More from the Korea Herald:

snip.
"...Opposition lawmaker Chung Hyung-keun, a member of the parliamentary intelligence committee, also claimed last week that the North Korean leader is having difficulties walking due to worsening diabetes, liver and heart problems.

Pyongyang has never confirmed such reports, but Kim is believed to have received medical treatment at various hospitals overseas, including in China and some European countries.

The intelligence agency also believes he received a diagnosis at a Chinese space center while visiting the country in January, according to the ruling party legislator.

End Snip.

Apparently it plays hell on your health to be the supreme dictator of a Nation.
