this is also funny, just in in-tray "The protests will fail. They will eventually be co-opted by the pre-election media orgasmia, branded as either this team or that and assigned a leader no one would have ever picked, ever, ever. The Tea Party may have started with Rick Santelli but they soon got Sarah Palin, figure that out. Half of you will vote, all of you will complain, and nothing will change until the day we are buying fake iPads with real yuans, hey, who's the balding guy on the 20? And the 50? And the 100...? And the reason it will fail is that you don't want it to succeed. You are still holding on to the mercantilist, zero-sum economic delusion that tariffs and gold standards and less money for Wall Street means more money for you, and then you can go back to living like it's 1999 again. You can't. It's over." More here: thelastpsychiatrist.com

just in, news.yahoo.com "As of now China has adopted five plans to help the Kuomintang, either in public or in secret. There's only one purpose for this, and that is to help Ma Ying-jeou get re-elected," party spokesman Chen Chi-mai told reporters. [edit: what a bunch of whiners. at least the kmt is no longer taking in usa cia help and killing taiwanese] Chen said that China had timed trade moves to coincide with the polls, sending dozens of procurement delegations to Taiwan this year to buy billions of US dollars' worth of goods including flat screens, textiles, food and agricultural produce. "It is part of Beijing's united front tactics, aiming to win over the hearts of Taiwanese people," he said. A campaign manager for Ma brushed aside the claim, telling AFP: "This is no news at all. The DPP is used to accusing other people without any concrete evidence." The DPP also said that China planned to help organise flights for Taiwanese businessmen on the mainland to return home to cast their votes, and was issuing threats of punitive measures if they support candidates other than Ma. It said pro-Ma campaign offices had also been established on the mainland, a rare move in non-democratic China. The run-up to the 2012 vote has been complicated by the entry of veteran politician James Soong, formerly a senior member of the Kuomintang, who has said he will run as an independent, rivalling Ma and the DPP's Tsai Ing-wen." my comments, (i) money talks, b.s. walks, democracy works as predictable (ii) 400k taiwanese live and work on the ancestral motherland, and they are the more material of the 21m folks, and their vote matters (iii) ex-kmt james soong is one of the good old boys also and knows how he should engage as well as does ex-hong kong ma ying-jeou, and (iv) more of the opposition party shall be sent to jail for all manner of crimes committed under the reign of lee tung-hui and chen shui-bian.
