The sagacious rants of Chun Piow: August 2008

CLINTON DEAD-ENDERS STILL LIVING IN DENIAL & DELUSION

We have one here who is throwing his support behind the race-baiting, cop-hitting nutcase Cynthia McKinney.

As a self-confessed liberal, this retard is willing to overlook Palin's desire to ban abortion in every state under all circumstances, including situations like rape and incest, the fact that she used to work for Pat Buchanan and she is a life-long member of the NRA, all because "she's a mother" ... has 5 kids ... seems real... genuine... authentic" etc...

In addition, he feels that it is not as bad to have an inexperienced VP than an inexperienced President like Obama. He also mentioned that Palin would have time to learn the ropes while in White House and that the likelihood of her having to take over the job immediately is a "far-fetched idea" despite McCain being 72 and having suffered from a few bouts of cancer. One last thing, he also liked the fact that she has "city council experience".

As I have mentioned to many of my friends numerous times before, America is truly filled with tons of stupid people.

BILL CLINTON SPEECH AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION

BARACK OBAMA IN BERLIN

Is there any sane person out there who actually thinks that McCain can command a crowd of 20,000 if he spoke in Berlin tomorrow, let alone 200,000?

LONDON 2012

Over the past, I have been telling some of my friends that it's difficult to imagine what London can come up with in 2012 to reach the extremely high bar set by Beijing this year. After all, Beijing had a planning budget of US$40b due mainly to the financial support given by its national government which itself has about US$1.5t in reserves.

London, on the other hand, has set aside an Olympic budget that is approximately half of what Beijing had to work with. It also does not possess the size of workforce that Beijing could leverage, whether it was construction workers, policemen, security guards or performers at the opening ceremony.

After the spectacular opening ceremony in Beijing, the British press was abuzz with op-eds citing the daunting task facing London 2012 administrators to match what the Chinese did. This one from The Daily Telegraph is hilarious and a must-read. Let's hear it for The Dance of The Plump Sugar Fairies!
