I'm not sure how it started but I've been slowly coming around to Mr. Beagles point of view regarding the dreaded Chinese. It's not because they are Communist though, I think they would be the same regardless of their political system because they are Chinese. Inscrutable fuckers, that's what they are, no getting around it. East is East, West is West, and never the twain shall meet. Some famous guy said that, maybe Kipling, and it's true.
Anyhow, the Chinese are getting into some deep shit lately but you don't read much about it in the mainstream media. I've gone to other sources and picked up a few things, such as a possible collapse of financial institutions, drought in some areas, major flooding in others, and possible food shortages. China is being stretched pretty thinly and their neighbors, Russia and India, are paying close attention. This is all interesting to me and it beats trying to make sense of our own domestic shit show.

It doesn't bother me that the statues of Columbus are getting toppled. He was a rat bastard, not worthy of any adulation, and didn't discover shit. That's what I read online so it must be true.

I'll close with a recent video, only a couple of minutes in length, with the words of George Carlin. Too cynical? Maybe, but appropriate none the less. Enjoy.
