Death isn't funny, but Twitter and Kim changed that

JIMMY BELLAMY: North Korean leader Kim Jong Il’s death wasn’t violent like the ones experienced earlier this year by fellow world-famous bad guys Osama bin Laden and Moammar Gadhafi. One common thread they did share? Plenty of one-liners and jokes on Twitter.

Kim and Kris kaput? I called this one

JIMMY BELLAMY: It may seem like only yesterday, and that’s because it practically was. The napkins would have been inscribed “August 20th.” The TV broadcast was Oct. 10.
