As I am always free to offer advice to all and sundry, whether they ask for it or not... Listen the fuck up China. As you seem to have a somewhat pressing PR problem at the moment, and with the Olympics only a few weeks off. Get off your arses and hire Mark Penn. Fuck, he'll work for anyone... For sufficient millions of dollars. When the well oiled Burson-Marsteller machine starts working its snake oil and smoke and mirrors act, the Dalai Llama and Richard Geere will be toast. Fuck, he'll even get Hillary to stand up in the senate and speechify about all the good you're doing in Tibet and Darfur. The "Great Decider" will be able to attend the opening ceremonies with a clear conscience (has he got one?) And Dick Cheney will go on Fox News to declare we are winning in China. Just remember who suggested this first. Send the cases of whatever the Chinese equivalent of "Effen - Effen" is to my home address.
.
Penn's next client... When Hillary finally dumps him.
The whole thing just smells...Beijing's air for one. Supposedly the Chinese athletes will have some edge since they've been training in the toxic stew they call atmoshpere over there. The government has been siphoning off everyone's water to divert it to the city as well.

This reminds me of how Atlanta evicted everyone in the poor neighborhoods to build the Olympic village. The only bright spot is that Katie Couric isn't at NBC, we won't have to hear her moronic comments for two weeks.

George, check out the WSJ Today:
Candid Camera: Trove of Videos Vexes Wal*Mart
Could this be another fall-out from the Julie Roehm hire.....
"The video library might have remained under wraps if a new Wal-Mart executive hadn't decided to hire another company to stage a musical production for its 2006 stockholders' meeting. The decision sharply curbed Flagler's role."

You have to have a brain for there to be a conscience.

Fuck that. All countries should boycott the Olympics. Athens is still open for business, they can just do it there.

Wisey... Great to have those earthy Sheila comments back. Did you get any GoatBoy T's while you were there?

Incessant, insipid, inconsiderate, people can call me whatever....Probably my biggest contribution to this fun factory was the tipoff to Laurence's love shack in the Hamptons that (should have) brought down the House of Kinder. I think that gives me some type of squatters rights. George will tell me to fuck off when he's ready.
And they should do the Olympics naked like it used to be. Except for the manly-looking women. They can wear sports bras and shorts.

No Ts, but GoatBoy and I are old chums. We had a beer together at that pub with the Easter Bunny strip show.
He couldn't believe you were old enough to be my grandpa.

Wisey...
Yeah, but now I'm on the Cialis, I've got 72 hour erections. Send me a picture of you in a wet GoatBoy, that'll help... And is this how the fucker found me? You'll pay for this.
Cheers/George
