Men Talking Trade

Okay, I know this was a long time ago, but I don’t think things have really changed all that much.

Chinese leader Mao Zedong proposed sending 10 million Chinese women to the United States, in talks with top envoy Henry Kissinger in 1973, according to documents released Tuesday.

[...]

In a long conversation that stretched way past midnight at Mao's residence on February 17, 1973, the cigar-chomping Chinese leader referred to the dismal trade between the two countries, saying China was a "very poor country" and "what we have in excess is women."

He first suggested sending "thousands" of women but as an afterthought proposed "10 million," drawing laughter at the meeting, also attended by Chinese premier Zhou Enlai.

Kissinger, who was President Richard Nixon's national security advisor at that time, told Mao that the United States had no "quotas" or "tariffs" for Chinese women, drawing more laughter.

  Raw Story

Yuk. Yuk.

Because men have made such a smashing success of this world.

What we have in excess is testosterone. (Although our pollution, particularly in the form of chemical pesticides, is rapidly taking care of that.)

If Hillary Clinton were actually a woman instead of a politician, I’d want to vote for her.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

Insane McCain Campaign

Well, Henry Kissinger is endorsing him. Add your own comments.

"The world's challenges are radically changing and our country needs John McCain's experience and optimism," said Kissinger [...]

I must admit, he has certainly proved to be very optimistic.

Jon Stewart has video clips, which show more painfully than the written remarks from McCain and his shopping buddies the complete ignorance, although they're quite humorous in Stewart's rendition of the news.
