“ We could have spent the past ten years getting our own house in order — waking up to the obsolescence of our suburban life-style, scaling back on the Happy Motoring, reconnecting our cities with world-class passenger rail, creating wealth by producing things of value (instead of resorting to financial racketeering), protecting our borders, and taking the necessary measures to defend and update our own industries. Instead, we pissed our time and resources away. Nations do make tragic errors of the collective will. The cluelessness of George Bush is nothing less than a perfect metaphor for the failure of a whole generation. The Boomers will be identified as the generation that wrecked America.

“ At first I feared I might not be accepted, for I had not had any training at all, but two ladies from the supermarket’s human resources department took me in hand. Both were armed with pompoms that they deployed to great effect. I was told to shout: “Jia you Beijing, hao yun zhongguo!” (“Come on Beijing, good luck China!”) It did not seem to matter that the match was the United States v Germany.
Times Online. China is packing all stadiums with volunteers that have been trained in how to cheer. I don’t even know what to comment on that.
