Now it’s time for some examples. Candy for the eye and all that.

The real estate circus.

I have to say that I tried VERY HARD to reserve judgement against real estate agents, brokers, mortgage people, and anyone else in the real estate business.

With that being said I cannot believe the number of crooked owner/brokers, real estate agents, title companies, inspectors, etc.

No wonder they all have such a bad reputation…most of them deserve it. Not all, but most. I Will be starting a blog very soon for the consumer on what to ask, look for and protect yourself against. Absolutely ridiculous people. The ones we assume are helping us can’t even be professional to each other.

Rorschach’s Ribs by Marcus Eder

 

Rorschach’s Ribs a novel by Marcus Eder

Coming soon!

Escher Smallwater can’t sleep in. That’s the least of his problems. Two years shy of thirty and recently laid off from his job in advertising, Escher has a lot to deal with in his life right now. Forced to make some changes since being laid off, (Folger’s instead of Starbuck’s, Hamburger Helper instead of a cute waitress flirting for a better tip), his lifestyle is gone, and suddenly the American Dream seems more like a nightmare.

As Corporate Charlie bares his darker side by way of recessions and hiring freezes, Escher has found himself with more free time to reassess his life, and he’s mad as hell. He will never be a rock star or date a super model. He doesn’t get carded at bars anymore, teenagers now think of him as creepy, and he prefers VH1 over MTV. He’s never been in love, his career path has essentially disappeared, and somehow, he and his neighbors have inadvertently become the drug kingpins of St. Louis.

A life once filled with Ikea catalogs and cubicles now consist of consumer guerillaism, lesbian strippers, and a gold toothed thug named “Mo-Mo”. All this and an impending high school reunion.
Rorschach’s Ribs explores what happens when the first generation destined to do worse than their parents gets old and starts questioning the American Dream. Through an eccentric, colorful cast of characters and a cynical wit, Rorschach’s Ribs delves into a world of e-commerce, target markets, and the underbelly of capitalism.

Bjork–Wanderlust

For China, Olympics are a time to display – and to conceal

Beijing – On a Beijing street a few weeks ago, a man began to beat his wife. A small crowd gathered, but nobody intervened until an American leaned from his apartment window overlooking the scene and began to shoot photos.

Noticing him, a spectator stepped up to the assailant and told him to stop. “There’s a foreigner taking pictures,” he pointed out.

As the Olympic torch gets under way this week in the run-up to the 2008 Olympic Games – the proudest moment in modern Chinese history and a symbol of the country’s return as a major player to the international stage – that incident sheds light on one of the Beijing authorities’ key concerns as they prepare to welcome the world.

Outsiders must not be allowed to see anything that reflects badly on the government or the country – such as dissidents’ complaints or the unrest in Tibet – which would lose both of them face.

The Beijing Games, expected to draw half a million foreign visitors and over 20,000 journalists next August, offer China an unmatched opportunity to display its extraordinary achievements over the past 30 years.

The government is keen to show how its economic development policies have pulled 400 million people out of poverty, how it has transformed Beijing into a modern, vibrant, and international city studded now with futuristic Olympic facilities, and how open the country is to intercourse with the rest of the world.

“Chinese leaders want the country to be more international, which means being put in the limelight. But the light is very hot,” says Liu Junning, a liberal intellectual at the China Cultural Research Institute.

“It will be a time not just to show, but also to hide,” he cautions. “That mind-set is deeply rooted in Chinese culture.”

Chinese government becoming desperate

Looks like the Chinese government has become desperate to make such ridiculous statements and allegations against the Tibetans. See article below. Remember people don’t buy anything “made in China”.

China alleges Tibet ’suicide squads’

BEIJING – China escalated its rhetoric against supporters of the Dalai Lama on Tuesday, accusing the Nobel Peace laureate’s backers of planning suicide attacks.

The Tibetan government-in-exile dismissed the allegation, saying it remained dedicated to the nonviolent struggle long promoted by their Buddhist leader.

“Tibetan exiles are 100 percent committed to nonviolence. There is no question of suicide attacks. But we fear that Chinese might masquerade as Tibetans and plan such attacks to give bad publicity to Tibetans,” said Samdhong Rinpoche, prime minister of the government in exile in Dharmsala, India.

Public Security Ministry spokesman Wu Heping said searches of monasteries had turned up 176 guns, 13,013 bullets, 19,000 sticks of dynamite, 7,725 pounds of unspecified explosives, two hand grenades, and 350 knives.

He provided no details or evidence.

“To our knowledge, the next plan of the Tibetan independence forces is to organize suicide squads to launch violent attacks,” Wu said at a rare news conference on Tuesday.

He used the term “gan si dui,” a rare term directly translated as “dare-to-die corps.” The official English version of his remarks released by the Public Security Ministry translated the term as “suicide squads.”

Beijing has repeatedly lashed out against the Dalai Lama and his supporters since March 14 anti-government riots in Tibet, labeling the spiritual leader a “cat’s paw of international anti-China forces” and denouncing protesting monks as the “scum of Buddhism.”

In recent days China has been showing decades-old propaganda films on state television portraying Tibetan society as cruel and primitive before the 1950 invasion by communist troops.

Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama and his supporters of orchestrating riots as part of a campaign to sabotage the Beijing Summer Olympics and promote Tibetan independence. China has ignored international calls for mediation and refuses to discuss accusations of discrimination, repression and economic disenfranchisement.

The 72-year-old Peace Prize winner has condemned the violence and urged an independent international investigation into the unrest and its underlying causes. The Dalai Lama has repeatedly said he seeks autonomy for Tibet under Chinese rule.
