Something is about to change--but almost certainly for the worse. Higher labor costs, a strengthening Chinese currency and soaring raw-materials prices are bad enough. Now a slowdown in global growth and a likely full-blown recession in the U.S. are about to stress-test China's manufacturing sector like never before--and could result in the shuttering of thousands of factories and cost hundreds of thousands of workers their jobs. Makers of low-end goods are already suffering. The Guangdong city of Huidong was home to 3,000 shoe factories at the beginning of 2007, but as many...
...Obama should be reminded that opposing war is very different from ending it. As bad as things in Iraq might now be, anyone can see that a total absence of American troops would have terrible human and strategic consequences: no Iraqi state government, a full-blown ethnic showdown between Sunnis and Shiites, Kurdish independence leading to conflict with Turkey, and the discourse of Islamic extremism would be vindicated.

For example, the rabbit that appears in so many of his works is a signifier for Playboy, masturbation, and the Easter Bunny, to name just a few. He feels that the layering of cultural meaning that he is able...
...This site has blown up. The creator just got a six-figure book deal. And... he's ignited a minor existential crisis in me. My dad is black and my mom's Chinese. What do I care about stuff white people like? But, when it comes to race in America, nothing's quite that easy...
