More Sympathies From Leftland
A new biography praising former Chinese autocrat Jiang Zemin is promoted and praised by the party-state. Another book, by one of the party’s own, is critical of the Communist Party’s corruption – and is banned (of course).
The writer that has nothing but good to say about the former Communist dictator of China is an American investment banker.
I guess Ted Turner isn't the only rich capitalist with a soft spot in his heart for socialist authoritarian government (actually, there are hundreds of these guys -- and that's not counting the rich socialist drama majors of Hollywood).
...once again -- classic.

I know you are on the other side of the international date line, but How is it possible that you are able to post on Thursday, 3/17, when It is still daylight for me on Tuesday 3/15? You can't be more than 24 hours ahead can you?

Good question. I figured someone would eventually realize the bizarre nature of such time juggling.
Actually, I just set the date at the bottom of the posting window ahead when I won't be posting for a few days. It's probably a rather stupid thing to do but it makes me feel "caught up."
Cheers,
Cliff
