    Just when I think that the Chinese cannot violate human rights any further... They go and make "cure all" pills containing the powdered flesh of babies.

  • 7 going on 17

    I was at the Chinese supermarket the other day and ran into the same clerk (the one who seems to only speaks Mandarin).
