Blog Find: North Korea Leadership Watch
This is one of the best finds I’ve seen in a long time — prolific, funny, and full of information I hadn’t heard anywhere else. That’s all the more impressive given that blogger Michael Madden was ambitious enough to choose subject matter that most would consider droll, stultifying, opaque, and impervious to verifiable empirical analysis. Not just anyone could begin with material like that and come up with posts like, “Habemus Successor? Or Thaek it to the Limit?.”
Agreed! And I think he has a book coming out soon on Jang Song-thaek.
BTW you might want to check that first link; it’s to a very cluttered site which seems not to be related to Madden’s blog. But if that’s the story you want, the original UPI story on North Korean fishermen being rescued by a Chinese crew off of the Dalian coast is slightly easier on the eyes.
