Back in the early part of 2007 I went to the first Barack Obama function in Shanghai. I gave it some press and donated $50 (my first ever political contribution). The event was at the now defunct Moon River Diner. It was a conference call with the then senator in which he talked about the [...]

What’s the perfect way to celebrate a long holiday?
By sushipan in sushipandaHow about watching clips like the one below. Schadenfreude at its best.
