Adults are gravely concerned with world affairs, and I am no exception. That's why I've watched President Hu Jintao's state visit to Washington with keen interest. While reading about the state dinner on the NYT this morning, two shocking facts jumped out at me:Shocking fact #1:
The most important Chinese people in the United States were invited to the dinner: Jackie Chan, Michelle Kwan, someone named Vera Wang, a couple of two-bit West Coast mayors, and Barbara Streisand. Do you see one name in particular that was conspicuously absent from the state dinner roll? Yeah, me too. Well, it's not the first time my colorful "Free Tibet" bumper sticker has earned me censure, but I'll be damned if I'm going to change my activist ways to appease the White House. There's such a thing as principles.
Shocking fact #2:
Jackie Chan, from what photo evidence is available, appears to be dead. This is not so shocking. What is shocking is the fact that his embalmed corpse is being wheeled around on an invisible dolly by sick pranksters in the US military.

ReplyDeleteOMG, Benji. Tell me that was just a facetious joke about Vera Wang. Surely you know who she is! Who doesn't. I mean, like, WHO DOESN'T?
