re: By the way, China, which has been a net buyer all the while Japan has been a net seller, sold $8.8 billion of Treasuries, its fourth sale in five months, bringing its holdings to $400.2 billion, down from the peak of $421 billion in March. China is continuing an effort to diversify its vast holdings of international reserves, which now total more than $1.4 trillion. The net sales, occurring while China's reserve holdings have increased, means that its diversification out of dollar assets has gained speed. Sh-t, they are catching on... There are many things attributed to the Chinese.....stupid is not one of them.

Paranoia lives: Air America host Randi Rhodes wasn't mugged BY DAVID HINCKLEY and TINA MOORE DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS Tuesday, October 16th 2007, 12:28 PM Air America radio host Randi Rhodes is temporarily off the air, but claims she was brutally attacked near her Manhattan apartment are bogus, her lawyer and a police source said today. Fellow host Jon Elliott claimed on the liberal radio network that Rhodes had been mugged while walking her dog, Simon, on Sunday night. Elliot, who said Rhodes lost several teeth in the attack, waxed about a possible conspiracy. "Is this an attempt by the right-wing, hate machine to silence one of our own?" he asked on the air, according to Talking Radio, a blog. "Are we threatening them? Are they afraid that we’re winning? Are they trying to silence intimidate us?" A police source said Rhodes never filed a report and never claimed to be the victim of a mugging. Cops from Manhattan's 17th Precinct called her attorney, who told them Rhodes was not a victim of a crime, the source said. Rhodes' lawyer told the Daily News she was injured in a fall while walking her dog. He said she's not sure what happened, and only knows that she fell down and is in a lot of pain. The lawyer said Rhodes expects to be back on the air Thursday. He stressed there is no indication she was targeted or that she was the victim of a "hate crime." Rhodes started with the Air America when it launched in 2004. Her show airs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays. The network released a statement that said Rhodes "experienced an unfortunate incident." "The reports of a presumed hate crime are unfounded," the statement read by a receptionist at the network's New York offices said. "Ms. Rhodes is looking forward to being back on the air on Thursday." Still, the tale lived on in the blogosphere. "What the %$#$ is WRONG with you people?? Are you that SICK in the head that just because you don’t agree with someone’s political views you believe that they deserve to be mugged? Are you on the right that DEMENTED??," a blogger called neddlenosehanty posted on watchingthewatchers.org. Another blogger shot back, "I very seriously doubt if this unfortunate woman was mugged by a conservative. To jump to the conclusion that she was mugged by someone on the right is bigotry of another kind. Think not?" tmoore@nydailynews.com nydailynews.com
