Far East Cynic

You know you have hit the big time

When even the Taiwanese go after you. My friends over at NMA have decided to make a video about the Petreaus Scandal:     I still say-it's all Mrs Petreaus' fault. Either hack the program-or be gone. Funny, no one ever asks that obvious question.

But can she cook?

For 40 million British pounds-who cares? It would seem there could be a wealthy future out there for me……if I could just make the short list. Gigi Chao, daughter of property tycoon Cecil Chao, entered a civil partnership with her girlfriend of seven years in a ceremony in Paris five

Valentine’s Day

Is useless on a Monday when deadlines are near. The S.O. came up on the short end of the stick-again. However, in my defense-I did buy her earrings and a ring in Bahrain…………… And we have seen zero gratitude for that! Then again-before women start whining-remind them how lucky they
