Cry Me a River

The Egyptian wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art don't open on the right for no reason. Egyptian art books from the public library were fed to me as a kid. How about the lessons from 50 B.C. comical Gaul warriors Asterix, Asterix's companion Obelix, and Obelix's dog Dogmatix that sipped the majic potions of the Druids? Aspiring Olympiads, the 2008 United States Olympic Committee has a message for you...

I tried to check out a Carl Thomas concert on Friday evening, but when my hot pink high heels, hair and make-up began to melt from the high humidity waiting on line outside, I decided to take my party of one elsewhere. I did not see anyone that I knew, and I felt that I might have a better opportunity experiencing sour apple hookah on an outside patio. No one called that night although the email banter ealier that week announced a planned meetup for the Carl Thomas, and my recent hanging out buddies, my brother and his platonic girlfriend, were not interested. Communist China has allegedly entreated the help of the International Olympic Committee or IOC to block e-mail correspondence of the human rights afflicted Chinese public. In the United States, a republic of full disclosure, Hillary Clinton, opposed to her husband dodges the Federal Election Committee and blogs such as the Judicial Watch's Hillary Watch and Paul v. Clinton dedicated in her esteemed honor tracking such mundane occurrences as her guests at the White House when she was NOT a cookie-baking First Lady. Like Clinton, Vice President Dick Cheney has more to worry about than dodging Scooter Libby's collect calls at the office or Mary Cheney's next baby shower to worry about. The Vice President is tied up in Martha Stewart-esqe chit chats with the Securities and Exchange Commission on disclosures of the Halliburton slush fund to keep Nigerian oil barons from dumping the profits in the Niger Delta. Who wants to know? inquiring minds and the French government... As for me missing the club meetup...why can't you all call nobody?

Pyongyang Carried the Torch

If you didn't know, now you know, North Korea carried the torch today for its ally China and promised no protests. It's ironic that the "Axis of Evil" can participate in the International Olympics Committee while we are all admiring that the Pope wears Prada loafers.

Meetings Leading up to Olympics Cancelled...

France among other European nations and US corporations are hesitant about China's failure to change the status quo anticipating the upcoming Olympic games. Charles Bremmer of The Times online has been keeping on top of the story since last week. The amount of decisionmaking that goes into selecting a host for the games alone should have probably motivated China, albeit by embarrassment, into a period of reform. However, I think the country thought it was best to "capitalize" on the opportunity, save the lives, limbs, and judgments lost. The article also mentions a Chinese website designed to boycott French products. I can't translate the page right now, but I cannot think of any purely French products widely sold worldwide. Charles Bremmer also has a new blog.
