So far the Olympics seem to be going pretty well.
No major disasters to speak of. The Water Cube and the Bird’s Nest are awesome (from the outside, anyway). I wonder what the Chinese are going to do with them after the games. [Marketing idea: Olympic action figure playsets!]
Unlike some people, I always enjoy watching the Olympics.
But there’s one thing that bugs me. I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s not the pollution (wouldn’t want to offend the hosts). It’s not the pre-K gymnasts (shaddap!). It’s not the easy-to-obtain protest permits that nobody really wants, honest! I’m okay with all that stuff. I’m okay with China trying to pretend nobody notices, even while they’re telling everyone to shut up about it.
[Just go with it for the sake of discussion.]
Forget the controversies, the oppression, the spineless international community, et cetera, and focus on what's really important - not the politics, the politicians. The Chinese ones. Specifically, their names. Hasn't anyone else noticed? President Hu Jintao? Premier Wen Jiabao? Ladies and gentlemen, right there's an Abbott and Costello routine waiting to happen:
Hey, who’s the president of China?
That’s right.
What’s right?
Hu’s the president of China.
That’s what I’m asking you. Who’s the president of China?
Yes.
Yes? What, yes?
Hu is the president of China.
I’m asking YOU who’s the president of China.
I’m TELLING you, Hu’s the president of China.
YOU’RE NOT TELLING ME ANYTHING. [Grumble, sigh] Okay, look: does China have a president?
Yes.
Does the president of China have a name?
Yes.
Do you know the name of the president of China?
Yes.
Will you tell me the name of the president of China?
Okay.
[tic..tic..tic..]
When?
No, Wen’s the prime minister.
It writes itself, people. And if the Chinese had a Wat, Wer, Wy, and Hau, it'd be even funnier.

Hey there! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I
needed to ask. Does running a well-established blog such as
yours require a lot of work? I'm brand new to writing a blog however I do write in my journal every day. I'd
like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
Appreciate it!

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours
would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm
not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
