Give that man a hand

Over at Global Talk 21, the inimitable Jun Okumura puts the headlock on the British Broadcasting Corporation's overreach on the term taibatsu, and quite properly pleads for a revision.

This is how mistakes and lies take on a life of their own, folks.

Speaking of which, can someone please tell Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to keep her ideas about certain kanji to herself?

  2. If I remember it correctly, Dr. Rice was your provost at Stanford - I think she was the lady standing to the right of dr. Kennedy on your graduation day and your mom and I shook hands with them as we bumbled our way into the graduatiopn proceeding - through the wrong VIP entry, I think - or am I off ? Any way, go ahead, send her an email

    ochka
