A lot of things happened this week. Hurricane Ike tore through Galveston, Texas flooding the city and tearing buildings in half. A commuter train in Los Angeles smashed head on into a freight train killing over twenty five people on board. The USC Trojans decimated the Ohio State Buckeyes. But this week’s 365 Award goes to Kim Jung IL.

Earlier this week, the notorious North Korean leader was proclaimed dead. Then reported to be alive but incapacitated from a stroke or a heart attack, bedridden, unable to walk more than 30 feet, healthy as a horse but fed up with the speculation about his health. Then he was suffering from convulsions, paralyzed, and of course there was my personal favorite rumor which came out of Japan that Kim Jung Il actually died five years ago and had been replaced by a double. It’s like a real life version of Moon Over Parador except that he’s not Richard Dreyfus.

The reports of his death first began earlier this week when Jung failed to appear at North Korea’s 60th Anniversary celebration. Since then the rumors and speculation have spiraled out of control.

Here in Vegas the’ve placed odds on his death at 5 to 1. I put a hundred dollars on it. I need him to die by the end of the year to win.

I love Vegas.
