...plus Twitter followers to join in. Even Sir Paul McCartney signaled his approval in an interview with Sky News, saying "it would be kind of funny if Rage Against the Machine got it [Number 1] because it would prove a point," although this didn't stop the former Beatle from appearing with McElderry on The X Factor finale earlier this month.

...court, Chan's professional tomfoolery (he once told a former legislator to burn nearly $2,000 a day "for luck") was thrown into sharp relief against the obscenity of his remuneration - so sharply that many Hong Kongers, including myself, were at last woken from the thrall in which feng shui had held us.

But what's particularly striking is how Sean's case has been hijacked by local political influence in ways that recall Elián's. A decade ago in Miami it was the Cuban exile lobby, which saw in Eliancito a way to stick it to Fidel Castro. (One local judge, who ruled that Elián's Miami relatives should have custody of him, turned out to be a client of a powerful exile political broker pushing for Elián to remain...
