Too busy to blog this morning. (Reasons: 1 2 3 4 5 )
Found this article on a Chinese language web site. I can’t read it, so I fed it into the Google translator facility .
I’m sure in the original Chinese, it’s completely grammatically correct — it’s the automated translation back to English that’s so entertaining. Some highlights:

In response to Washington’s criticism of the "big 3’s" CEOs flying in, in their private jets with tin begging cups in hand and suggesting that they should have used public transportation instead......I assume then that the country’s "TOP CEO", the President himself, will be giving up on Air Force One...after all, Washington should lead by example surely, especially as head of the country’s most bankrupt firm of all???? ... more
After a patchy run for John Brumby in recent polling, ACNielsen today gives strong reason to think his Victorian government is not headed down the same path as its counterparts in New South Wales. The survey of 1009 voters has Labor leading 55-45 on two-party preferred, and 44 per cent to 39 per cent on the primary vote. Approval and disapproval ratings are 45 per cent and 36 per cent for Brumby, against 37 per cent and 35 per cent for Opposition Leader Ted Baillieu. Brumby leads 52 per cent ... more

Big chunky cars From: danielbowen.com Post Date: 2008-05-19 11:58:55

It looks like a big fat capitalist’s car. There’s been one hanging about in my street recently each weekend, driven by a big fat real estate agent.
Something about it, especially the design of the big fat front, says ... more
It apparently happened about 8:30am overnight, but was only noticed at 8:30am .
A 20 year old man decided to do a bit of “train surfing”.
He touched the wires. Zap. Dead.
