  On the China Front
Mattel is planning another massive recall of Chinese-made toys. Canadian hotels are asking travelers to throw away their Chinese-made toothpaste after it was found to contain anti-freeze. And a bridge collapsed, killing 29 people and raising questions about the speed and safety of China's new construction. And in the last month, the enviro group Sea Shepherd has seized 19,000 illegally-taken shark fins, almost certainly headed for China and Hong Kong.

On the positive side, four baby pandas were born in Chinese zoos yesterday. Pandas are cute.

hmm...who is responsible for the tainted products coming into the US- Commerce Dept? State Dept? Or are we so afraid of offending the Chinese that we will let anything in so long as China buys our bonds and keeps peace in some geo/political areas?

Pandas are cute, but I don't want to know any more now. China is a strange backwards country.

I now see your point.

Where's the petition for boycotting the Beijing Olympics? I'd sign.

Yes, I see your point too. China is indeed a strange backward country that specializes in exporting dangerously shoddy goods around the globe. Score one for America -- a normal highly developed country that specializes in exporting war.
