By GKCfan
Pat Cleary had an interesting post taking issue with those who say trade policy is an important determinant in our trade balance.

China Erects Fence Along N. Korea Border
China has been building a massive barbed wire and concrete fence along parts of its border with North Korea in the most visible sign of Beijing's strained ties with its once-cozy communist neighbor.
I can't believe this. They're erecting this fence, and it's the first I've heard of it? Whither all the hand-wringing? Is this fair to North Koreans who want to smuggle through China? After all, Korean smugglers are just poor people in search of a better life. The Chinese should be flattered that Korean smugglers think so highly of Chinese roads and their black market.

Posted at 3:03pm on Jun. 1, 2006 Bush stole the election!
By GKCfan
I guess some stories are just too much fun to fade away. The champions of "vote early, vote often" and the "keep 'em coming" ongoing Washington gubenatorial election just love to point fingers. Paranoia about the VRWC lives on. But still, as I read this unhinged rant from RFK, Jr., I had to keep asking myself, "why now?"
