The Week That Was

Tuesday China's Xinhua news posted a screed of an editorial demanding that Japan's Emperor Akihito apologise for Japan's involvement in World War II.  The fools at Xinhua can't seem to fathom that Emperor Akihito is prohibited by the constitution from making any such statements.



In a just concluded show trial that would make Uncle Joe proud a court in Egypt sentenced 3 Al Jazeera journalists to each serve three years in prison.  Most of the evidence was either completely fabricated or so absurd it failed to pass the smell test. Let alone beat a polygraph.    


Republican Presidential candidate New Jersey Governor Chris Christie opened his racist pie hole and vomited this little gem of racism onto the body politic.  Gov. Christie would like to have barcodes tattooed on to immigrants after receiving their visas.   He told an audience in New Hampshire that they could then be tracked like packages from Federal Express.  

One can assume that the World War fought to defeat these types of human rights abuses is unknown to the gov.

Pyongyang has a shiny new airport with all the usual amenities including an internet room.  There's just one small problem. There's no internet to connect too. Its blocked as internet use is restricted to government and party elites but the room looks real nice.
