It's her British-Ilongo accent that makes her seem always on the verge of, or actually, flipping her wig. I like reading and her speeches and treatises, except the sound of her voice is simply ineradicable. Whenever I run into some choice piece of vocabulary, I can just hear her masticating it to bloody shreds. But she knows her law!

He he. Josh, that's why I am hoping, and there's nothing wrong with that. Why can't the Chinese bomb their selves no? Wait, you're Chinese! Schumey, of course her comments should be condemned. She said sorry, like her patroness. Arthur, she's a sober woman. The couch beckons. Mam Anna, true. I wonder what her supporters are thinking now.... Jeg, you’re naughty ha? He he.

How dare she? She who still has to learn about social behaviour should mouth something so stupid! As a Senator, what she's done is absolutely politically incorrect.

But I hope that someday, I will find this basket case's head inside a basket. For someone who condemned Malu’s bigorty, I am not about to let anyone get away with racist remarks, basket case or not.

Even now, the death toll is already rising. Their ruling junta has no patience for peaceful dissent, as demonstrated by the way they crushed the 1988 pro-democracy protests. International sanctions won't work either as long as the regime has the backing of China. The Burma protests are not likely to end well. Even now, the death toll is already rising.
