Log #5: Overcoming Preconceived Notions Part 2 - Zhongshan

and slurp your noodles. However, you are expected to cover your
mouth with your free hand while you pick your teeth with the

westerners observe with awe and without understanding. "How
can they do that?", we want to know. - Read

of outraged Americans the Hollywood liberal elite lost big when
CBS threw in the towel and dumped onto Showtime its smear job
on my dad, Ronald Reagan. If what just happened here is any indication,
the only viewers it will attract will be Barbra Streisand and
her loony pals curious to see what a terrible job her husband
whatshisname did playing the former president. - Read
