She can hold my caucus, but I wouldn't vote for her

After Obama selected Biden I read that the polls had he and McCain even, and I was going to write a blog asking is America serious but now I have to ask “Is John McCain serious”?
Did he really just spend the last few months telling anyone that would listen that Obama doesn’t have enough foreign policy experience or experience in general to lead the country, and then pick a VP with even less experience and even less foreign policy experience just so Hillary’s backers would swoon over the fact that a woman could easily control the most powerful position in the land, even though that woman has almost nothing in common with their chosen female candidate.
While, also, trying to use his choice to show how Un-washington he really is and how old guard Obama is by choosing Biden.
Perhaps the republican party will beat us over the head because she is a self made woman, a family woman, and possibly the first VPILF. Though I just found out that McCain was a prisoner of war, I would have thought they would have done a much better job of getting that out.
Good Job by McCain of taking away the momentum of the democratic party from the convention by electing a VP out of nowhere, but I’m interested to see his long term plan. For a man who can’t even remember how many houses he has, in his lust for the spotlight, he might have forgotten to make one. I’m hoping his shortsightedness will start moving those polls back where they were a few months ago.

Confused

I would think for all the non-chinese that have tattoos of Chinese characters on their bodies, some Chinese person would have a tattoo in english.

I feel much better about the Crocs epidemic in China...

Now that I know they are wearing mostly knock-offs

Usain Bolt-High Times Man of the Year?

With his historic runs, coupled with the success of the entire Jamaican track team, who has done more to disprove that marijuana has no affect on athletic performance.

What is the protocol for asking someone if they are a neo-nazi

My last roommate was a 20 year old french girl. When she first arrived in the apartment, my itunes displayed that I could look at her music. I am always interested in hearing new bands and music and so I clicked on the link to see and hear what was in her music library. I found lots of bands I didn't recognize and some that I did but they were all heavy metal, and I wasn't too interested, then I came across a name I did...Adolf HItler.

She had seven speeches on her computer by Adolf Hitler. I wanted to ask her what they were there for, but there really is just no good way to ask somebody “Hey I was wondering if you hate the Jews because you have a bunch of Adolf Hitler speeches on your computer.”
My other roommate at the time had a german boyfriend and I didn't even know how to approach him about it. “Hey could you translate these speeches by Hitler, so I can see what they are talking about to determine whether I should be amciable with my new roommate who may or may not hate my people.”

I ended up not bringing it up, and it never became an issue. Maybe she hated jews and just didn't know I was jewish. I actually ended up having a better relationship with her than any of the other 3 roommates I've had here.

Another french guy just moved in, though I have yet to check his itunes. Hopefully his biggest vice is that he likes to smoke cigarettes.

I knew it was too good to be true

Spanish basketball prodigy, already being compared to Pistol Pete and Steve Nash, enough game to maybe be the number 1 pick in the 2009 NBA draft. Normally that would be enough, but to have one of the most fun names to say in all of sports, He could be legendary.

Just saying his name made me feel like all the problems I was having in Shanghai, finding work, dealing with visas would work themselves out.

But I knew it was too good to be true. I was having way to much fun saying Ricky RUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBIO, there had to be a silver lining. and when I visited his wikipedia page there it was staring me in the face. Mocking me.

How can Ricard Vives be his real name? Ricard Vives is a name for three-point specialists with slow quirky releases . Ricky Rubio is the name of a star.

You let me down "Pretty" Ricky. But I'm going to forget it ever happened (much the same way that the hip hop community did with Jay-Z's Kingdome Come Album), I'm going to pretend that I never visited the wikipedia page, that because people can change whatever they want on that site, that someone made up your name and that it is still indeed Ricky RUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBIO.

Ketchup packets are a form of currency in China

They trade at 8 packets: 1 yuan. If the Cultural Revolution goes down again, or the market crashes people are going to start using McDonalds ketchup packets as legal tender. How else to explain why McDonald's can't give me more than 1 packet when I order a meal.

I'm sorry for liking ketchup, in the states you can have as much as you want, why is McDonald's hoarding all the ketchup. I always ask for more and they reluctantly give me a second packet, to which I again ask for more, and the cashier will look around to see if her boss is around before slipping me a third packet. The worried look on her face, makes me not want to test my luck.

It's ketchup! I'm not asking for a free sandwich. I realize that liquids cost more to ship over to China, but I would doubt the ketchup is even made somewhere else and is shipped in. It's not like China doesn't have tomatoes. (At least Burger King, uses Heinz)

Give me some ketchup. Make up the difference somewhere else, like on the Chinese who eat there a lot more often and don't want any, or the Belgium who like their fries with mayonnaise.

It is not like I'm asking for something absurd like free refills.
