Old Pals
Interesting few days.
China revealed that the Dalai Lama’s terrorist codename among those notorious wild boys the Tibetan monks is ‘uncle’ (no, I’m not joking). No evidence was presented with this latest nugget.
What else? Oh yes, Kim Jong Il and his merry men threatened to blow their South Korean buddies off the face of the Earth. Seriously, it’s about time that crackpot got himself a new hairdo.
Next, the IOC decided to flex some muscle (luckily, they managed to locate some), telling China to stop blocking internet sites and fulfil one of their Olympic promises in the process. Listen very carefully and you can hear the laughter from Beijing.
Finally, there were contrasting fortunes for the two old pals in this photo:
The man on the left is officially a gonner; the guy on the right is officially a torch bearer. Well, we can’t have everything!
