Who do we shoot now?

Paul Denlinger has a great blog entitled The China Vortex, and says some really interesting things. I told Paul I liked the way he got into a topic, made a point, and got out, not talking down to his readers.
I've known Paul for a long time, and he's the one who convinced me to get a Mac when he said "Did you know it's built on the BSD kernel?" That was all I needed to hear because my admin had set up BSD servers on Linux boxes many years ago, and they were unbelievably fast and stable, running on anything.
Anyway, recently he wrote something I found very amusing. "So, while Chinese factories have on occasion exported defective products, the US has exported defective financial products. And the US government participated because Treasury sold T-bills which were backed by these defective financial instruments."

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.
3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
