From today's Taipei Times:
President Ma Ying-jeou [of Taiwan] yesterday pledged to strengthen inspections on food and beverage manufacturers and severely punish those with problematic products amid a scare over adulturated cooking oils.
My advice to Taiwanese food executives?
When using the phone: speak less Mandarin…and more Klingon.
Postscript: Guess I should explain the "President Wiretap" allusion.
Again, from today's Taipei Times:
1 in 9 Taiwanese lawmakers currently have their phones tapped by Ma Ying-jeou's secret police.
The curious thing about all this wiretapping is that the Special Investigation Division (SID) apparently isn't gathering any evidence. The SID claims not to have any recordings!
Saying prosecutors later found that the wiretaps were unable to record any telephone conversations, [Ma Ying-jeou's] minister [of Justice] said they “are not so serious.”
Guess they just haven't figured out how to hit PLAY and RECORD simultaneously.
Rocket science ain't easy, ya know.
