If this is ALL over the Chinese Media- Why is it that Asian Week hasn't had a mention of it? You know, being the fine publication that it is...

Oh No, Ed Jew! The gift that keeps on giving! How about a mass greeting at SFO when (if?) Ed returns from PRC? We can have banners, balloons and maybe a Lion Dance. I guess firecrackers would be nixed at the airport. Too bad.

Argh, Chinese character fadeout. Lately I've been using a Firefox extension called gTranslate that allows one to select some text and translate it into English from any language supported by Google's translation service. The translation is quite nonsensical, but for individual words it works as a dictionary, and one can blunder through a few sentences at least. Unfortunately the translation fails on some key phrases: "The bitch set me up" -- "该荡妇set me up"

Seriously, we should be more supportive of the Quickly folks for coming forth. Nobody exploits immigrants like their own people, and the Chinese tend to be pretty tight-lipped about it. But for the Quickly people, we may not have found out about this crooked supervisor -- and yes, I know nothing has been proven, but there's far too much smoke here for there not to be fire.
