If the Chinese played this game:

Among the misleading and ill-explained details that, as usual, spiced up recent leaks from meetings of the of the ________’s sex, drugs, rock & roll, arms, and prostitution conglomerates, is the eye-catching white paper titled “Diverting attention from possible Muslim trends towards taxing or outlawing our sex, drugs, rock & roll, arms , prostitution and media (SDRAPM) revenues”. The surprise is not just that SDRAPMers are horrified the Muslim and Chinese are working together studying the win-win equilibrium point game theories (deflating "blond" debt service costs for more happiness) of “that dangerous radical” John Nash, but that the financial crisis from which they profited with “healthy and agreeable receipts” may create an “outrageous and potentially catastrophic backlash forcing us, yes US, to actually pay taxes! TAXES!”

In other reliable leaks, there are growing fears within SDRAPM regarding China’s new plan to bring more happiness to its people using scientific methods. “They are stealing Woodstock without our drugs!” sputtered one CEO. And “Cartoonist Tom Toles of Washington DC must be stopped! He’s uncovered our LSD drinking water business in Congress! What if this turmoil spreads?!” screeched a CFO. The leadership is beefing up spending on both, but seems not to know which one will work better.

So, Ilan, and Tzipi, best of luck, and never give up! Can we expect Israel to have a Muslim Prime Minister by 2154? America did Obama in an eye-blink of 143 years compared to your history, he’s done some good things, and’s looking not to shabby for two terms. What’s the problem? ;-)

Good point. Inside, it makes sense. JPB has brilliantly promoted himself all over web & Google for years, from love to hate to rehab. “Famous for being famous” said Bill Gates. Long ago, Tim Leary, as he lay dying, bequeathed him the LSD revolution crown, yet John goes purple if one connects him to fellow LSD enthusiast Jim Jones. John’s worth the occasional poke: What the difference between Barlow and Jones? More of John’s followers are still alive. Hey John, did you really say: “I was a famous drunk. I won't mind being a famous alcoholic”? Maybe you should call Judge Jason Deal for a chat. A LOT of folks would be happy for you to come clean and real. Especially me. ;-)

Let’s see, (1.) America’s debt has just been recalculated, reported here in the Economist, at 202 Trillion, which is dollars end to end to the moon and back about 50,000 times, (2.) China and Russia will soon almost certainly stop using the dollar when trading with each other as the rest of the BRICers look on with interest, (3.)
QE2 is being translated by some as “Let them eat dollars”, (4.) Some folks in Washington DC, where I come from, are using the word “chaos” to describe things there, (5.) China’s donations to America’s tin cup, uh, scratch that, lets try ‘global leadership’, has just been found to be 30% LARGER than previously reported, (6.) The Chinese government has a popular approval rating with its citizens for which, in the West, some western politicians (but it’s only a few, really, just very very few, nothing to worry about, pay no attention folks, move along, please) would sell their _________, and (7.) now our good Diplomat and True Ambassador Jon Meade Huntsman Junior, who delivered, sorry Jon, really, a passionate and convincing nominating speech in support of Sarah Louise Heath Palin at the 2008 Republican National Convention, has got himself embroiled in APPEARING to support the overthrow of the Chinese Government.

Uh, just wondering, how did Jon do on the United States of America Department of State’s Foreign Service Exam for diplomats, which was derived, through the British, from China's ancient civil servie examination system?

“Mr Cameron thinks the neoconservative blunder was to imagine that democracy can be dropped from a plane at 40,000 feet, and equates to holding elections.”

Sometimes, Dear Sirs, one of your sentences gives me such a tickle I have to get up and walk around. The above did it. Here here!

However, Sirs, may I offer that the following sentence is a bit hundred years ago-ish?

“Now the interim government has to show this is a credible transition towards democracy.”

A bit preachy, patronizing, and even demanding, don’t you think? How about something more diplomatic with a wider and longer view, such as: “Now long-lived Egypt, through its interim government, has the opportunity to create a better and greater Egypt for the benefit of Egypt’s future generations, and that of the whole world’s future.” They already know you’re pushing Democracy, and that by their long historic standard, it is, as The Economist has occasionally written, a new experiment. But good luck to you all, keep the faith, and we’ll get it right for sure in a few more thousand years. ;-)

Just what the heck is going on here!? This sounds suspiciously like the dasterdly methodology the Chinese used after it revolution to deal with its then millions of Opium addicts. Quick, call John “Just Say Yes” Perry “The Pope of LSD etc” Barlow for what-to-do. He gave the internet to China, right? [Hi John...] What! He’s been in a coma for weeks? OMG… ;-)

Let’s be real folks. One MONSTER sand, wind, & rainstorm, such as occasionally hits Cairo, just before the protests started, and or one GOOD presidential advisor , and El Presidente Magnifico Supremo de Grande Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak Himself might just still be sitting in his old chair, with IV. Maybe: Go to the embassy of the country that is currently in a global economic and cultural upswing, and ask for advisors, please. Why not try 14 Bahgat Aly Street, Zamalek? Go three times a day. Every day. Listen VERY closely each time until you can work something out mutually agreeable & BENEFICIAL. And patience, PATIENCE! Suggest you skip the Embassy of Wisconsin for the immediate future. ;-)

Actually, Golf WAS invented in China, in Naning, Ming Dynasty era. It came West via the Silk Road along with gunpowder. But golf got to Scotland first. The Scottish parliament under James II noted that people were playing to much ‘Golfe’, and not practicing archery enough to successfully defend God’s True Realm from those dastardly sex-crazed southern barbarians. Another decree in 1471 sternly discouraged it, and in 1491 James IV actually attached pains and penalties to it play. Then the ‘Alchemists’ arrived with Chinese gunpowder and firearms, and the primary local defense industry, the Bowers Guild, the makers of bows & arrows etc, were thrown off their defense industry feed. To help them support their suddenly starving families, Jamie bought a set of clubs, which the Bowers, SO naughtily, had been making all along, and suggested, wink-nod, that anyone wishing to share in the Kings Business must buy a set, and meet His Majesty upon the links to chat about it. But wait! There’s more! Certain Chinese interests are considering picking up USPTO patent number 5,997,414, (Aerodynamically Matched Golf Clubs, C.Wood) and snookering the corrupt fat cats that currently sell over priced market-research-driven but technical garbage to the poor frustrated golfers of the world by offering them a HIGHER technical standard of quality clubs at reasonable prices. Isn’t that something like what Honda, Toyota, et al did after the good Dr. Deming chatted them up last century? ;-)
