Turkmenbashi kicks off.

Holy smokes! I knew that he was ill, but I don't know if anyone knew that he was near death. Who am I typing about? Why Saparmurat Niyazov, of course, the recently deceased former head of the communist party in Turkmenistan turned cult of personality dictator. Check it out here. First Pinochette croaks (although his rule ended long ago, and Spain and others who wanted to bring him to trial for his crimes against humanity have lost their opportunities. But hey, dead is dead.), now Niyazov, and Castro is on the ropes. That's most of them, except Kim Jong Il appears heathly (well physically, at least.)
