Dear Senator Obama.
I believe that if doubt is essential to faith then without laughter nothing can be taken seriously. Where I sometimes appear not to attend to the gravity of things I can assure you I that I find nothing funny in the recent revelations that 12,000+–not the 700+ reported–veterans in treatment at US facilities took [...]

The Former American Professor in China
As many of you know, I am no longer teaching. Neither time nor patience have seemed to be on my side these days. When I began to find myself challenged by students and their lack of cultural sensitivity and adaptability and flummoxed at the school’s administrative ineptitude I knew it was time to fade [...]

Boomtown Beijing
My friend Siok Siok Tan is the multi-lingual marvel who, during her tenure with Discovery Channel, racked up a dozen Asian TV Awards as a documentary film director, and producer.

Divas, Deli's and Digaterati in Shanghai
I just got off the train from Shanghai (and boy am I windblown! Sorry.)…I did the overnight cheapo fare that requires you to share a berth with five total strangers. It is kind of like being back in the military except you can’t shoot at the woman n the next car whose voice can crack [...]

In addition to water-boarding it is apparent that government interpreters world-wide now learn social media, SEO and RSS management during their program of study. It is no secret that many blog comments on opinion-shaping sites are made by full-time surfers or “trolls” as some call them, with nationalist or [...]
