...McCain thinks that, merely because Governor Palin is a woman, I will support their ticket, he must think all women are stupid and uninformed.

Many people and churches devote a lot of time and energy, do a lot of good work, and make changes for the betterment of their communities and for those less fortunate than Governor Palin.

...more troubling was that even some of the fans of the Carsick Cars—among the most progressive Chinese—were still smoking the metaphorical Zhong Nan Hai and not picking up on the subtext. It took one night in a club with three walls for the stupid American in me to remember that dissent in art begins at the bottom, and that it can take a long time to rise to the top. —Staff Writer Ruben L.
