We won't really know since Gloria Arroyo is under arrest. Could not have happened to a nicer lady. However it would seem her successors, are not making the Chinese happy: BEIJING: China on Sunday called for greater efforts towards "peace and stability" in the region, after the Philippines offered to allow more US troops on its… Continue reading What would Gloria have done?

The Dark Side of Apple…and Steve Jobs.
This weekend the New York Times ran an article about Apple and its production of I-phones overseas. Bottom Line Up Front? Steve Jobs could also be a real s**t when it came to his fellow countrymen: When Barack Obama joined Silicon Valley’s top luminaries for dinner in California last February, each guest was asked to come with a question… Continue reading The Dark Side of Apple…and Steve Jobs.
Time to put the Kanji to bed?
Dialect: A language without an Army to back it up. It’s that time of year again. Every year around this time the Japan Association of Kanji Aptitude Test announces the kanji of the year. The announcement is made in Kyoto at the famous Kiyomizu-dera temple through a priest who writes the chosen kanji on a… Continue reading Time to put the Kanji to bed?
Haze Grey and underway?
The ex-Russian carrier Varyag is all spiffed up , with no place to go. I find the tow line attached to the stern particularly interesting. And as the article points out she is making very little wake. When she can actually get underway and cross the 12 mile limit, then maybe we can be concerned.… Continue reading Haze Grey and underway?
Political foolery on the other side of the globe…
Spike has been running some great commentary on the effort by Hong Kong domestic helpers to win the right of abode in the Fragrant Harbor. Its a fascinating story-full of the kind of cheap slander all us gweilos used to be accused of ( and still are in certain corners): For those who don’t know… Continue reading Political foolery on the other side of the globe…
Worth reading…..
My Canadian Counterpart makes a lot more sense about Pakistan and Afghanistan than our beloved King David[Petreaus] does. He’s got two posts up that should be mandatory reading for any one of the current crop of idiots in Congress. And should be read twice to learning impaired assholes like Allen West-and most of Lex’s fan’s… Continue reading Worth reading…..

“Victory only has meaning in its effect on the events of the future”-Herman Wouk Remember this phrase as we discuss the events of Sunday Night. As we were laying in bed-the sun having gone down long before, and the only light in the room being that of the solar walk lamp(s)-my cell phone wrang? “What’s… Continue reading Bin Laden
It was only supposed to be a movie….
But it seems to have become reality. Except its in Japan, not JFK and the leading protaganist is Chinese not from a former Soviet Republic: Japan Probe explains: It has now been about 80 days since a Chinese human rights activist has started living inside Narita Airport- stuck because his country doesn’t want him back:… Continue reading It was only supposed to be a movie….
The part I do not understand.
The Straits Times this morning had a article that that was suprsing to say the least. Opening with the leader :60 and a class act. The article then goes on to become a puff piece for the PRC and praises its evolution since 1949. What is particularly troubling is what appears to me to be… Continue reading The part I do not understand.
No matter how many….
Treasury bonds they buy. Or no matter how many cheap goods they make for Walmart. Or how “flat” Thomas Friedman thinks the world is. At the end of the day-they are still Commie bastards. H/T to E @ L
