"Peaceful Wolf T’ai Chi Ch’uan"… And Economics

Let all things be healthy. Let all things be peaceful. Count your blessings at least once a day. Forgive those who have hurt you; forgive those who have offended you. But most of all forgive yourself for what you have done, and for what you have failed to do. What is done, there is no [...]

Taiwan: Finally The Cruel Made Its Decision And Left

Few hours after I posted about LUPIT (yesterday evening Taiwan Times), I checked (this morning) the current path.

Taiwan: Is It Coming Back? Cruel and Viciousness.

We thought that the typhoon LUPIT will let Taiwan alone. And… It changed its direction to the North, toward Taiwan. Then, we thought we will have heavy rains during several days.

The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks [...]

Taiwan: He Lost The Heart Of…?

PHOTO: LO PEI-DER, TAIPEI TIMES At the center, KMT honorary chairman Lien Chan (former vice president of Taiwan and still active in Taiwanese politics) was promoting KMT candidates for the year-end elections. As you can see, he drops a heart. Question: it was his heart or the Taiwanese heart? Beside, I don’t know what you [...]

Taiwan: It’s Not My Fault And Everything Will Be Fine. Magic!

Typhoon Morakot hit Taiwan (especially the center and south as never a typhoon did in recent history) with the consequences you all know. You all also know the performance of the government and Taiwan’s president Ma. So of course, they had to find who were responsible of this disaster and the poor answer from the [...]
