北京,中国——你是否知道在美国,工人辛苦所得低到一小时3~5美元?而靠这点
收入很难生存,因为“路边小店一顿饭每人要花20~40美元”。
这些奇怪而错误的说法只是周小平写的《梦碎美利坚》一文中很多这种说法的一部
分。这个月,在“文艺座谈会”上中国国家主席习近平把此人(连同其同行博客写手花
千芳)特地挑出来表扬之后,这个33岁的博客写手已成为北京官方最推崇的人。习主席
表扬这两个人的作品拥有“正能量”。
周被证明了是一个特别有争议的选择。
他最著名的文章之一,题为《美国对华文化冷战的九大绝招》,是一篇反美文章,
声称好莱坞是美国破坏中国的阴谋的一部分,并把美国人对待中国人的态度比做希特勒
对待犹太人。
实际上,自从上世纪90年代末像《活佛》《红色角落》这样的电影产生争议以来,
好莱坞很担心会由于批评中国而失去一个巨大的市场。恰恰相反:2014年的大片《变形
金刚4》是一部自大、饱受批评的续集,因为赤裸裸地推销中国品牌和迎合中国人的感
情而受到冷嘲热讽。

行分析的结果表明:早在公元前3世纪,也就是中国第一位皇帝秦始皇(公元前259年至
公元前210年)的时代,就已经有西方人到达了中国,这一发现已经引起了国际媒体的
广泛关注。
在上述发现公布之后,有人对中国陕西省秦始皇陵墓附近8000个真人大小的兵马俑来历
做出了新奇而令人惊讶的解释。
据英国广播公司(BBC)报道,一位名为李秀珍的中国考古学家表示,在秦始皇陵墓附

因两度在引渡孟晚舟事件上“说了真话”,加拿大驻华大使麦家廉26日被迫辞职。一些
加拿大政界人士尽管表态认同麦家廉所说,却仍指责麦家廉,称其在当下关键时刻发表
“拆台”言论,是“不合时宜”的。
1月26日,美联社报道称,加拿大前驻华大使赵朴曾就“麦家廉辞职”一事表态,称麦
家廉说的“是实情,但他应该闭嘴”。特鲁多前外交事务顾问罗兰·帕瑞斯(Roland
Paris)则表示,“在这个重要问题上,加政府必须以一个单一的、明确的声音发言”。
报道称,加前驻华大使赵朴为麦家廉的辞职感到难过,但他认为处理此事的做法是正确
的。“糟糕的是,此事发生在我们所有人都应做好准备的危机中期”,中国人现在知道
麦家廉并不是代表加政府发言了。
此前在23日麦家廉曾亲自“拆台”,称孟晚舟有“强有力的论据”反对被引渡到美国,
之后便遭到加拿大部分人士的抨击,要求其下台,前者被迫发表声明道歉,并称自己“
表达有误”。
但很快,25日麦家廉又再度发声,称“从加拿大的角度来看,若美国撤销(针对孟晚舟
的)引渡申请,那就太好了。”
赵朴认为,麦家廉的言论说的“是实情,但他应该闭嘴”。其第二次发言是促使他被解

As the momentous day approaches, with epochal consequences for an anxiously
awaiting world, I take pen in hand—make that apply fingertips to keypad—to
renew a traditional plea I first made more than 30 years ago. It’s a plea
I’ve made in print, on the air and, now, through the miracle of digital
technology. But its message never changes.
It’s a plea directed to those of you who are still uncertain about which
way to vote. And it’s as simple as it is heartfelt: Stay home.

Four days after the deadly school shooting in Connecticut that left 20
children and six teachers dead, two Republican governors have spoken
favorably of considering proposals to put guns in the hands of teachers and
administrators.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry expressed support for allowing school districts to
determine whether teachers can carry concealed handguns in class, which at
least one Texas district already permits.
"In the state of Texas, if you go through the process, have been trained,

We’ve talked in the past about credit card surcharges, and how the major
card networks didn’t allow them. Well, that all changed this past summer

Regarding CF# 07-004281
I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from
media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and
have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of days. You are
saying to yourself that this is completely out of character of the man you

by the LAPD and the media. Unfor... 阅读全帖

A big shout-out to bus company owner Joseph Fazzia, a man who’s going to

Over 100 Brooklyn bus matrons who came back to work this morning after
their union ended its month-long school bus strike were abruptly terminated
— after being told their company had folded.
When they arrived at their Red Hook bus depot around 5 a.m., shocked

Democrats Now in a Rush to Tax Ammunition: “If anything, gun owners ought
to be getting a tax rebate for helping reduce crime”
by Jammie
Now that outright confiscation efforts have been met with the appropriate
ridicule and resistance, greedy Democrats are moving on to — what else? —
punitive taxation as a mean of infringing upon Second Amendment rights.
So where they can’t get away with their assault on the law-abiding gun
owners of America they’ll try and reap profit instead to fund more of t... 阅读全帖
