The Future’s So Bright They Gotta Wear…

Aw, you know.  And just when I thought I'd done the whole "Ayatollah Ma Ying-jeou" thing to death, the ruling KMT party graciously provides more material:

Supreme Leader of Taiwan: Ma Ying-jeou. Supreme Leader of Iran: Ayatollah Khamenei. Both wear sunglasses. Caption: Chinese Ultranationalist government of Taiwan seeks closer relations with Iranian Islamofascists.

Great fun at the China Post's comments section there.  With anti-Semitic Chinese knuckledraggers who are apparently still unaware that Israel left Gaza a few YEARS ago.  And a buffoon who insists the issue is a sacred matter of R.O.C. sovereignty — after voicing in a previous thread his approval for Peking to determine Taiwan's immigration policies.

UPDATE:  Has anyone in Taiwan had the gumption to ask the urbane, American-educated Ma what his position is on the stoning of adulteresses?  Or is that something they didn't cover at Harvard Law School?

Birds of a Feather

Surprise, surprise:  Chinese Sino-Imperialists arm Iranian Islamofascists with lots and lots of shiny new Dalian riot control trucks.  ("Tiananmen Square" brand billy clubs cost extra, apparently.)

She's a beaut, ain't she?  I'll bet Chiu Yi is kickin' himself he didn't have one of THESE babies during the KMT election riots of '04.

Cheer up, Chiu.  You've still got 2012 to look forward to.  Why, in a few years time, you'll be out there crackin' heads with the rest of 'em!

And moving not so far off topic I see that Iran has joined China in their jihad against Google.  (Good news indeed, for China's new Google substitute.)

Like a Virgin (Sorta)

"I flinch, I shy, when the lass with the delicate air goes by
I smile, I grin, when the gal with a touch of sin walks in.
I hope, and I pray, for Hester to win just one more "A"
The sadder-but-wiser girl's the girl for me.
The sadder-but-wiser girl for me."

Hate to hear about the inevitable quality-control problems on THIS one:

Hymens: Now Made in China

Egypt may be up in arms over the latest stroke of Chinese manufacturing brilliance—a synthetic hymen . . .

. . . conservative officials across the Muslim world fear it might find more nefarious uses in countries where virginity is a prerequisite for marriage. Egypt has gone so far as to attempt a ban against the artificial hymen, calling peddlers "bandits" and charging that the device will corrode the moral standards of the country.

[…]

In places where honor killings are practiced against women who can't prove they were virgins on their wedding nights, this little, seemingly innocuous sex toy has opened quite a can of worms.

Still no official denunciation of this dire threat to Islamic decency and virtue by the Taliban wing of Taiwan's Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT).

Supreme Leaders

Downright weird to see President Ma Ying-jeou's admirers in Taiwan refer to him as the country's "supreme leader."  Not exactly the sort of title one expects to see in a democracy.

But hey, if THEY'RE comfortable with that, then let's run with it.

And so (to borrow a line from Mark Steyn), here he is, His Hunkalicious Munificence the Supremely Supreme Leader of Leaders (Peace Be
Upon Him):

I don't know about you, but I'm having trouble deciding just which of the two is more Hunkalicious . . . and who is more Supremely Supreme.

Beijing-Tehran Axis?

From Michael Rubin's LA Times column:

In the aftermath of [Iran's 1999 student] protests, the Chinese government supplied security consultants to Tehran. Rather than bash heads and risk protests and endless cycles of mourning, Iranian security services began photographing demonstrations, after which they would arrest participants over the course of a month when they were alone and could not spark mob reaction.

Googling this comes up with nothing; I can't find a single primary source to confirm this.  Of course, it's plausible — probable, even — that China would export its techniques of governmental repression.  That's what the CCP would call, "non-interference in the internal affairs of other states".

Until I hear of more evidence though, I'm filing this one under, "Believable, but not verified."
