Janus Is In China, But We Are Not

Well, the end of the school year sapped all of my time, but I’ll be back in full after this vacation.  In the meantime, Janus travels (apparently) to India.  I don’t believe a word of it, but he offers this wonderful note…

Congratulations to us. The Chinese government has deemed us to be subversive, splittist, and/or pornographic.

Anyway since I can’t write to DinoBlog, there are 3 things I want to share with you..

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/17/asia/kandahar.php something tells me that if I am reading this in the newspaper, then the Taliban are no longer capable of the element of surprise. Epic fail for the Taliban. Also, it’s nice seeing the US media exposing secret war plans that aren’t those of the US military for a change.

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/17/asia/japan.php Japan hangs criminals? I’m all for capital punishment, but frankly I thought Japan would have a more futuristic way to administer justice–like with lasers or giant killbots or something.

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/17/asia/17softpower.php Take that, China commies.

Guess What Else Is Made In China?

Irony?  Or, like, that thing we call irony that really just means “funny coincidence”?

A TRUE SIGN OF AMERICA’S DECLINE

This just in from FT: China seen as biggest threat to stability

China has overtaken the US as the biggest threat to global stability in the eyes of Europeans, according to a Harris opinion poll for the Financial Times.

And this coming right on the heels of China overtaking the United States as the world’s biggest polluter.

Quite the bummer.

Well, at least we’ll always be #1 for fat people…

…or not.
