Actor Sharon Stone has managed to piss-off China. I gotta hand it to her, I’ve never been able to do that. I’ll just have to try harder.

The toilet on the ISS failed the other day due to some form of blockage. I suppose they should either review the engineering or the menu.

Apparently it is a unisex toilet, otherwise the men could use the women’s or vice versa. (Wouldn’t want to imply that women plug the plumbing more than men. There are more women on this planet than Chinese!)

the actress suggested the country’s earthquake was “bad karma” for Beijing’s policies in Tibet.

China has gone soft. One eagerly anticipates mass arrests and executions during the Olympics to reestablish a five paths of wisdom iron fist in an iron glove policy. Add senna anthraquinone glycosides to the water cannons. That’ll get the rioters going.

You can piss off China too! There’s a Chinese embassy and I’m sure you can make a protest sign. Stop complaining an get a permit from the city of NY and start-a marchin!

You will get news coverage if you think outside the box. Possibly a nude cohort of the feminine persuasion (although in NYC a nude you might get more press). :)

How about pushing for a US nuclear submarine base in Taiwan? Or asking Congress for a 100 % tariff on injection molded goods? That would raise more of a tussle than Stone’s flatulent remarks about Karma.
