North Korean leader Kim Jong Il entered China aboard his armored train early Tuesday, crossing the border amid tight security.

South Korea's Yonhap news service, quoting Chinese sources, said the reclusive leader's train passed through the Chinese border town of Dandong before dawn.

1. I thought the Chinese-North Korean relationship was an uneasy one.

Doesn't Kim Jung Il creep China out?

5. That would be Jim Ward aka voice monkey on Stephanie Miller

He does a really offensive "Kim" impression on the Stephanie Miller show.
It is really campy but it makes me laugh. So every time I hear of Kim I think
of Jim.

Actually he is a very talented actor and voice guy with a keen political mind.

8. The last time Kim left the country

Strange things went on in North Korea for awhile, folks went incommunicado, and he took an unusually long time getting back into the public eye, at least to the extent that he ever is. Suddenly posters (and I'm talking building-sized, Official(tm) ones, not little normal things) of him were vanishing all over the country, etc.

The impression I got at the time is that he found himself on the pointy end of a coup attempt and only barely managed to save his ass. The Other Guys, whoever they were, might have actually been running things for a bit. I can't say for sure, considering that place is locked up tighter than the blast doors of Cheney's undisclosed location in Mount Weather, Virginia, but given how hosed North Korea as a whole is, it sounds pretty likely.

I wonder if anyone will try anything this time?

9. And didn't a train station explode shortly after?

And, not too long after that, a mushroom cloud was spotted in North Korea. We were told it was just an unusual cloud formation. Some Brits and Norwegians were supposed to go there and investigate. I don't recall any report coming from that.

11. I remember that

I think I remember hearing about their report; they claimed it was really heavy-handed blasting in mining work, but nothing nuclear.

The train station was enough of a debacle that I'm willing to chalk that one up to somebody being asleep at the switch, possibly literally. It definately seemed like Darwin's pager went off more than an act of malevolance, though.

10. Where is N.Korea's Kim? Officials hunt for clues

North Korea's Kim Jong-il passed through China on Tuesday on the way to Russia, a source with knowledge of the stopover said, but where precisely the secretive leader was headed on Wednesday remained far from clear.

Russian and Chinese Foreign Ministry officials declined comment and South Korean officials were struggling to try to confirm the report and earlier regional media reports Kim was visiting China after passing through the border city of Dandong. "He passed through China. He left today for Russia," the source, who requested anonymity, told Reuters in Beijing.

"He did not meet any (Chinese) leaders," the source said, adding that Kim may stop over in China on his way home.
The source declined to provide further details. Officials in South Korea were checking the report. It was not clear what would be behind a visit to Russia.

But Kim has visited there before and has sought in the past to balance the North's relations between chief ally Beijing and Russia, which under President Vladimir Putin has been more friendly towards the North than during the immediate post-communist years. The Korea Times newspaper said if Kim was visiting China, as South Korean and Japanese media reported on Tuesday, the trip was most probably linked to U.S. financial sanctions.
