Kickboxer friend introduced me to real Tan Tan Mian -Sichuan Style at this hole in the wall Chinese cafe in Torrance.

FREAKING YUM.
Here is a screenshot of one of my favorite fighting scenes of one of my favorite movies, Red Cliff.

In it, the bad guys are lured into this maze, where they are methodically massacred by the underdogs. Amazing cinematography.
Interesting interview with George Soros.
I think this would be time because you really need to bring China into the creation of a new world order, a financial world order. They are kind of reluctant members of the IMF. They play along, but they don’t make much of a contribution because it’s not their institution. Their share is not commensurate … their voting rights are not commensurate to their weight, so I think you need a new world order that China has to be part of the process of creating it and they have to buy in. They have to own it the same way as, let’s say, the United States owns the Washington consensus, the current order, and I think this would be a more stable one where you would have co-ordinated policies. I think the makings of it are already there because the G20, in agreeing to peer reviews, effectively is moving in that direction.
