The common sentiment

Happened to be in Flushing this past Saturday, caught a glimpse of Fa Lungong - streets were closed with heavy police presence.  I see them linger in Flushing a lot, around the main library.  The drums were loud to the point you wanted to tell them to get lost.  The surrounding businesses were impatient.  [...]

Go for the gold

Published by The Kibbitzer under Sports, View from Bottom

Front page coverage on China’s quest to lead in the gold medals this summer.  Rowing has improved a lot and quickly over the past few years.  The formula seemingly predicable: poor kids hauled from rural areas sweating it out, 7 days a week, 7 years and counting.  I often wondered is there a fairness even in [...]

We learnt quickly

Published by The Kibbitzer under View from Bottom

Sharon Stone’s high-heeled foot in her mouth really caught on. Dior dropped her from its advertising in China. That’s lighting speed. But I think Chinese learned quicker, the western media had taught them well. They’re flexing their new found muscle in the global market. No one is willing to forgo that eye popping 300 mil and surging middle [...]

Yuppieee .. I don’t have to leave

So Hillary is finally out.  What a 泼妇 with pair of fat ankles. I don’t think it’s the glass ceiling, girl .. take it like a man. She rose to power and prominence on her husband Bill’s back, and when her campaigning isn’t going well, she’ll play the little weak woman, moan and cry.  I [...]

18 years for two deaths .. justice?

Does this drunk driver who’s serving 18-year sentence at a correctional center in New York and is now appealing his case, deserve death penalty?  I think he does: two people died and families are ruined.  US doesn’t believe in death penalty, but if the law permits, that drunk driving that killed carries death penalty, I would [...]
