 Today it seems that Hillary has received enough delegates to stay in the hunt for the Democratic nomination. I love this. I really want to see a floor fight at the convention but probable not for the same reasons as you. I am a history teacher. As a teacher an historian I like to see things get shaken up now and again. It is not very often that we get to see the political process working the way it is supposed to. It is not very often that we get to see the political process working the way it is supposed to. Usually the candidates have already been chosen by this time. Most of the last few states to vote really don't have a say in who the candidate is going to be. Well this year they do. As a historian the perfect outcome of all this would be that neither Clinton or Obama get the nod. A brokered nominee would be great. Something we can write about in the books and teach in class. What a chance students are having right now to learn about our process. In all honesty I was hoping for a floor fight on the GOP side too. What a glorious election this would have been.

“The Connection Has Been Reset†By James Fallows Many foreigners who come to China for the Olympics will use the Internet to tell people back home what they have seen and to check what else has happened in the world. The first thing they’ll probably notice is that China’s Internet seems
slow. Partly this is because of congestion in China’s internal
networks, which affects domestic and international transmissions alike.
Partly it is because even electrons take a detectable period of time to
travel beneath the Pacific Ocean to servers in America and back again;
the trip to and from Europe is even longer, because that goes through
America, too. And partly it is because of the delaying cycles imposed
by China’s system that monitors what people are looking for on the
Internet, especially when they’re looking overseas. That’s what
foreigners have heard about.
I can personally attest to this. There are many a night when I can not seem to get any American web pages. I can get the Chinese ones fine so I know something is up. Even worse is when Fox news or some other big news outlet has something really bad about China on the front page. I may not be able to get to it at all. Well thats not entirely true. Me and most of the computer savvy Chinese youth can use a proxy server to get around any block in about 5 seconds. Thats how I get to many sites. | Posted by: White Devil at 10:22 AM |

By Wan Lixin, Shanghai Daily BRYAN Caplan's "The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies" debunks the myth of Western democracy as an ideal by marshaling a litany of complaints. The central indictment is predicated on The shocking ignorance of the general American voters., especially in economic matters.

Unbelievable story over at ABC news.  Muslim culture often isn't very well understood in America. To help sort out fact from fiction, ABC News addresses several common ways Muslims are misunderstood. Misconception: The terms "Muslim" and "Arab" are synonymous. more... Posted by: White Devil at 10:22 AM |

Radio Free Asia When Chinese troops suppressed a nationalist uprising in Tibet’s capital city Lhasa in 1959, a curtain came down over Tibet. Thousands were killed in fighting across the country or vanished into labor camps and jails—where many died from illness, overwork, or starvation. Now, a Tibetan survivor of those events has released an account of them in English translation. Tubten Khetsun’s Memories of Life in Lhasa Under Chinese Rule, published in 2008 by Columbia University Press, details the author’s experiences in Chinese prisons and as a forced laborer on state-run construction sites and farms from 1959-79.Read More At Radio Free Asia more...

 Wow found this interesting, if not entirely true article on Xinhua news in China The Chinese and a few liberal web sites I found are reporting this. They have referenced an article on the Air Force web page that I can not find at all. Some 40,000 personnel from all branches of the U.S. military have deserted since 2000, U.S. media quoted Pentagon sources as saying Tuesday. From the total, more than half had served in the U.S. Army, according to the report. (The numbers I could find are about 33,000. I guess if your the king of person that predicts global warming then this is about 40,000. However, I was taught in math class that if its below 5 you round down not up.) more...

Shanghai Daily Web  (This is reported on the Shanghai Daily Web site. The story starts out about some simple food poisoning but if you keep reading the real story will come out. Chinese doctors cheat their patients on a daily basis. They are given low pay and this is how they make money. My wife is always frustrated when I wont let her buy some of the medicine the doctor ask her to buy. I always tell the doctors we will only take western medicine. This make them very very ANGRY because they cant get a kick back from this.) SEVENTY-TWO employees from Shanghai Donnelley Printing Co Ltd in Qingpu District suffered suspected food poisoning yesterday, said Shanghai Food and Drug Administration. No patients had serious complications and all victims have left hospital after treatment, officials said. more... Posted by: White Devil at 09:08 PM |
