Hangzhou Lovin’

hmm, now the only people that post on my site are from washington DC…. I wonder if there is somekind of goverment conspiracy to watch me, and if Mary and Fan are part of that conspiracy…

Anyway I’m thinking of getting rid of the comments because it makes me depressed when I come here and no one posts anything, and I feel it takes away from my editorial integrity, because I might subconsciously start to make posts that cater to the people who comment at my site. I don’t know, havn’t decided yet.

Brad Delong has a post from the WSJ on Bush’s lack of a a fiscal policy. The one strong point of the Clinton policy in my opinion was his fiscal policy, espiecially during his first term and before he and Dick Morris started to use policy for politics. His presidency is likely to be viewed by economists as a resounding succes for keeping interests rates and the defiecit down. Bush on the other hand is persuing policies that will raise the deficiet, this will slow the economy in the future.

I’m sorry for saying anything bad about Fan. He is obviously my only true friend, since he is the only one to post on my site. I think he is sexy and smart and has an enoumus penis, so if you are a hot, you should have sex with him.

here is an intersting article about Micheal Moore, it says he is a lying hack. I find it rather convincing.

I’m bored with the asian girl comments, so it is no longer neccessary to have every post include a comment on the hotness of chinese women. This isn’t because of the haters out there (fan), but like Jerry Sienfield, I know when to end a good thing.

Speaking of annoying Chinese guys, the last couple days chinese me have just been pissing me off. I’m really getting sick of all the Hallooooo’s being yelled at me and then fallowed by giggles and them talking loubly about me when I am right next to tem. Dumbass, I know what Laowai means. In general the men are just nerds, espiecially in my school. Sqaures everywhere, they make stupid jokes and do stupid shit and are just annoying in general. I think their are cool guys, but none of them speak good english.

Then the drinking over here. It’s all fucking ritualised so you have to toast this person when the fish is served and blah balh balh. I just wanna sit back and get drunk if I feel like or just drink a beer if I feel like. People always ask me how many beers i’ve drank? I’m sure if I could figure out the most beer I’ve ever drank i would blow them away, but I stopped keeping track once I figured out I liked to get drunk. The only point of counting how much you drink is if deep down you think you are a pussy and feel the need to show the world you are a man by drinking alot. Chinese drinking culture is all about showing the world that chinese men aren’t pussies, but paradoxically it proves that they are pussies at the same time. (now I’m not saying that you are a pussy if you don’t drink, just that if you make a big deal out of how much you drink you are a pussy. Real men are secure in their states of inebration or lack there of).

The women are much more polite, you will get them staring at you a lot and maybe a timid hello and giggles, but that is endearing and not as grating as the middleschool antics of the men. Most of the time they don’t mean any harm, but instead is just to point out that you are different. you really appreciate what a multicultural society america is and also respect cultural sensitivity. For all the bullshit political correctness produces it is a lot better than the complete lack of cultural sensitivity here in China. enough bitching….

on more thing…

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen

again from Tom Tommorow

If you can’t tell I’ve been on the internet all right, (I felt i needed a ninght alone after all these endless orgies with nubile young asian nymphs). Despite all this time by myself, I couldn’t come up with a topic for class tommorow. So if any of my millions of readers would like to suggest something, drop me a comment or an email….

Tom tommorow has a good run down of the worsening situation in Afgahistan. You know things are bad when even USA today says the admnistrations policy is failing

From USA Today:

Other Afghans also say life here is different � and far more dangerous � than they expected a year ago:

* The U.S.-backed government of Hamid Karzai has little control outside of Kabul, the capital. And the new government is racked with dissension.
* Warlords continue to control much of the countryside. Already, several factional power struggles have broken out.
* Extremists, in hiding outside the well-protected capital, wait for an opportunity to strike. Taliban and al-Qaeda forces lurk in the mountains. U.S. troops on patrol in search of terrorists in eastern Afghanistan face almost daily hostility and attacks.

“The fundamentalists and the warlords are in charge. The gunmen have the authority and the power, and actual rights the government says we have are not given,” Mujahed says, “and where are the hot asian girls we were promised?”

Paul also asks about my experiance teaching in China. It’s allright, though it is difficult to teach people when you do not understand the language. I am finding that having a book makes a big difference, I’m just not a good enough teacher to be effective bullshitting my way through class. If I have a book I can point out subtleties in the language and the students can read along with what i say.

Chinese students are kind of a pain in the ass to teach, because their vocabulary very good, their grammer is ok and their speaking and listening are crap. In small classes this is not so bad because i can make people talk and easily split the calls up into groups, but if they don’t have a certain level of motivation and english pfoficenciancy and I don’t have a book (which describes this pain the ass class i had this afternoon), it is difficult to do anything productive, even with a small group. With larger groups it is even worse as it is difficult to get them to talk so I just have to stand up there bullshitting. i would like to teach them something constructive like vocabulary or grammer, but they are already pretty good at that, and their listening skills aren’y good enough for them to understand me explain complicated subjects.

On the other hand with motivated students and a (shitty) book, my classes are pleasent and I feel I am getting something done. This past week I had my english major students, hold a little election for class president to see how democracy wored. I was shocked to see how different the two classes were. One each person prepared a three page speech, that were full of nice lines of rhetorical bullshits, like “i may not have a way with pretty words, but i will be the best president” and they gave 2 minute answers to questions posed by the rest of the class. the other class didn’t even prepare speeches and wasn’t even willing to ask questions, fuckers. I think the classes are split by ability which is just stupid because most of the learning gets done by individual memorization and it would only help the worse students to talk to the better ones, fucking China.

Damn this post is to long and I havn’t even gotten to the biggest problem with teaching, that is all the hot girls in my class looking at me with their sad eyes when they don’t understand. They just need to come visit me I can teach them lots….

This would actually be a good use of american military power. This article proposes to set up a military base in a port of Eritrea. Hopefully this would lend some stability to the region and help the economy. It says in the article that eritrea’s goverment is becoming increasingly authoritirian, but I don’t think it is as bad as Zimbabwe or someplace like that.

Even though I oppose the war against Iraq, I am in general an interventionist. I think it was good to intervene in Kosovo and Afgahnistan, and we probably should have intervened in Uganda. But Iraq will likely be worse off after we go there, we will kill alot of people in the process, we will likely increase the risk of another Al Qeuda attack.

it’s like paul said in an email a while back if I was to campain for office, (which I couldn’t do because there would be to many scandals about my affairs with hot asian women), I should run on the NSAWAR* slogan (No stupid ass war against Iraq). The most important words in the slogan are stupid ass. I would support a smart war against Iraq that woiudn’t kill a shitload of peopl ewho did nothing to harm the US, and incite a new generation to join Al Qeuda. If the administration puts forward a plan like that I would still be relectant to support them, just because you can’t believe a word they say, so whats the use in political discussion any way. I’m gonna go have a beer.

The acronym NSAWAR is wonderful because it can also be made into the feel good message of my hypothetical campaign. Naked sexy asian women are radical.
