T-shirt opinions: The not-so-dearly departed
Kim Jong Il is checked off the world's list of public enemies — and more in our collection of topical message tees

John McCain (R-Ariz.) expressed his "satisfaction" that Kim Jong Il "is joining the likes of Gadhafi, bin Laden, Hitler, and Stalin in a warm corner of hell."
