Pictures finally

Ok, so now there are finally pictures of A-bien's belly connected to A-bien's head. Why that took so long is another issue. This will probably dispell the faking it part, and angry voters can start focusing on the issue of what's going on with those 330,000 voided votes.

What's really sad is that A-bien, if he's actually going to be the President, seems to hold no credibility at all. Half the country is still scoffing. He's going to have to eventually lift his shirt on national TV, expose his belly, and say, "Here look everyone, I was shot right here!"

What's really weird is that here's the President, the top dog, who this country pays millions of dollars to protect with a fleet of elite bodyguards, who apparently just got shot (which must hurt like hell, btw) and he's shown on the hospital's security cams walking in, unrushed, and seemingly in no pain, and without much escort. Just a couple guys around him. No panic. No commotion. No fiasco.

I mean I've had a bad cold and had to go to a Taiwanese hospital for an IV, and they literally throw you onto a stretcher.

Watching TV is really amazing, between Minority Report, AXN, and a really bad Van Demme movie, I keep getting drawn back to the enormous crowd still amassing in front of the Presidential palace. Thank god for remote control.

B and I were discussing the whole Lien way of handling things. The guy could've said, "If I lost, I want this country to see that I lost fairly. If I won, then I want everyone to see that I won fairly. Either way, we'll all sit down and figure this out." That was the Al Gore approach. But Lien doesn't show that kind of diplomacy. Maybe Lien knows that in this situation diplomacy might not get him the seat. B pointed out how Gore went out like a gentleman. I pointed out that no one remembers the loosers, and now GWB is the man in charge.

Whatever happens, this country is pretty pissed off, and knowing Taiwan, this will be a circus for a while.
