九萬兆,冷水坑裡飲奶精

最近,看台灣那些重出江湖的權貴們在明處鞠躬哈腰、歌功頌德,在暗處摩拳擦掌、殷殷期盼關愛的眼神,看得周遭投馬英九的友人們驚呼:「怎麼那些人又回來了?」

我說,不要急,不要罵,慢慢等著看笑話就好了。

結果,今天報派劉兆玄先生要接閣揆這個位子。劉兆玄這位清大的老校長,過去做人做事風評還不錯,但不知怎麼搞的,會在2006年與女記者鬧出一個小花邊新聞

馬英九對於行政院長這個位子,要求「才德兼備,德勝於才」的宣示猶言在耳,各位台灣的家庭主婦從這可以看出,以國民黨的標準,在深夜的冷水坑暢飲奶精,談論國家大事,並不傷一個男人的德性。

因此,想到這句: 「九萬兆,冷水坑裡飲奶精」。

Stop the Olympic Torch Relay Right Here in San Francisco


[Link to Google Maps]

Surrendering to China's growing economic power, western politicians close their eyes to China's notorious human rights record in recent years. Concerning about losing enormous business contracts (i.e. ... from Boeing, Microsoft and GE to wheats, corns, and soybeans) with China's government, very few political leaders dare to criticize China's wrongdoings. China dominates the political-economic games and sniggers at the fragile "western democracy". Politician's tolerance toward China's human rights record was the cause of those tragedies happened in Tiananmen Square, Tibet, and every nook and corner in China.

If the Westerns still bury their heads in the sand, today's Tibet might reflects tomorrow's Taiwan. And eventually, people who live in this freedom soil will not just lose their partners in Asia but will get hurt for their apartness.

Some people expect that the growing economy in China will eventually transforms its autocracy into a open society. I believe there is a good opportunity for such progress only when the worlds constantly guided China's government the right direction it should turn to. Otherwise, China's growing economic power might end in becoming a disaster to all human beings.

Stop the Olympic torch relay will force China's government to review what they did wrong to Tibet, Sudan, Taiwan, Falun Gone (very similar to Indian Yoga), and even Internet bloggers. Stop the Olympic torch relay will spotlight China's problems for Chinese people who desire a change to their own country. People in London and Paris did the right thing. Now, it's turn for American to get your protest signs ready.

Stop The Olympic Torch, Save The Olympic Spirit, and Send a Right Message to China

Route of the Olympic torch in San Francisco

The Olympic torch is approaching San Francisco and the Relay Run will be started at McCovey Cove at 1:00pm on Wednesday, April 9th.

I urge Californians, San Francisco residents, and people from all states to stop the Olympic torch in this freedom soil.

The Olympic Games are about sports to people living in freedom states. However, Olympic Games have become a political tool for China government to burnish its international reputation.

Stop the torch! We're not just save the true Olympic spirit but also send a right message to China government.

[The following message is written in Chinese language for Chinese people. ]

奧運聖火即將在4月9日星期三抵達美國舊金山(三番市),聖火傳遞路跑將於1:00pm在AT&T Park旁邊的McCovey Cove起跑。

我呼籲加州與舊金山居民,以及來自各州愛好自由的人士,在這塊自由的土地上阻擋奧運聖火的傳遞。

奧林匹克運動會對生活在自由土地上的人們是至高無上的體育活動。但是,從中國爭取奧運主辦權以來,奧運會已經成為中國政府洗刷遮掩其發臭的國際名聲時最佳的政治工具。

阻止奧運聖火在這塊自由的土地上前進。我們不但拯救了奧運會真正的價值與精神,更是對中國政府送出正確的訊息。
