The French are tiring of ‘Sarko l’Americain’
FOR A second last week, I found myself thinking nostalgically about the former French president, Jacques Chirac. The wily old fox had multiple faults, but at least you could rely on him to behave like a proper Frenchman, unlike his loathsome little successor, Nicolas Sarkozy. Complain all you like about Chirac, but he bore all the hallmarks of the quintessential Frenchman. He had a way with the ladies, which Sarkozy most definitely has not, as his ex-wife, Cecilia, could doubtless testify. Chirac also knew how to deport himself in public. You would never find him sporting that crass, all-American baseball cap, or, for that matter, toadying up to George Bush in the toe-curling way that Sarkozy did last week. What an unedifying spectacle to see a French president bending the knee to American cultural imperialism like a sycophantic groupie, eulogising over the two countries' historical links, US literature, film and music, and stressing, rather pathetically, how his generation "shared all the American dreams".
Federal deficit possible, study says
Mrs. Whiggins from Canada writes: Surprise Surprise. Tory times are tough times. Sad. So many youth and the hell-bent-for-high-living folks do not remember the tough times their parents went through. These young'uns will be skewered like eels and roasted over the fires of their so-called friends.
Take heart. GST cuts mean you're saving a couple cents on your drive-through coffee in the morning on your $10 just gas ride to work. Trim your expenses now and you might save your kids some hurt a decade from now. Not.
A 10-year forecast says the Harper Conservatives on their usual bent will cause a recession? A 10-year forecast? Where were these bozos five years ago?
Just more scare-mongering brought to you by the Harper Conservative Party of Canada.
Tory times are hard times, not.
Taobao.com launches online shopping mall
Taobao.com, China's most popular auction site, will launch a new platform for eligible major domestic and overseas consumer product makers and retailers to sell directly to Chinese buyers.
The new system - to complement the existing public site - has been established to win customers from offline store chains such as Wal-Mart and B&Q.
The Taobao Shopping Mall, to be online in March, will charge retailers based on their transaction volume. The Website, which has beat eBay Inc in China for its free service, is trying to be profitable and pave the way for going public.
"We want to make it a source of quality products for buyers of good taste, like traditional department stores, with guaranteed quality, good compensation policies and more convenient payment methods," an official with Taobao said yesterday.

Zen suggests that I go about my business and let nature take its course. As research suggests that the insects will damage the tree, I am not inclined to pacifism. My old way would have been to fill the air and tree with enough toxins to eliminate every insect within ten yards of the tree. While this strategy is decidedly effective it is also decidedly non-selective. Enter the samurai! One such garden warrior can consume approximately 50 insects in a day. They are available for a price, but one must understand that their skills are merely rented. When they have finished their business with the maple tree, the samurai will move on. It is sometimes easy to determine a plan for battle against an enemy we know. It is the enemy with which we are unfamiliar that is often a more dangerous foe. * * * Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay it's price.-- Sun Tzu, The Art of War You don't want to get your heart stole.

For every romantic possibility, no matter how robust, there exists at least one equal and opposite sentence, phrase, or word ... capable of extinguishing it. Gladwell gives two examples of such disqualifying phrases. ("Brown," and "nice Tits!"). There are similar Disqualifying Statements in politics, words that will extinguish your enthusiasm for a candidate at the very moment when you are ready to swoon for him (or her). Here's one of those words: "Hagel." As in: Barack Obama has often said he'd consider putting Repbulicans in his cabinet and even bandied about names like Sens. Dick Lugar and Chuck Hagel. Forget that this is a cliche appeal to hack Washington bipartisanism, that Sen. Hagel's reputation seems to have been built on the substitution of good looks and agonizing passion for coherent, articulated thought, that the press mainly loves him because he's always ready to go on television and stab his party in the back.
