Busheviks

I’ve learned a new word!

www.kirktoons.com

1. Bushevik

A term pointing out the similarity between (often right-wing) political zealots supporting Bush Jr. (a supposedly democratic leader) and the worst qualities of a Stalinist totalitarian regime, where dissent wasn’t tolerated and the party line was the criterion of truth.

Of course, as a good little Bushevik, you’d prefer to forget all about that silly history stuff, right?

2. Bushevik

A rabid, extremely belligerent follower of the Bush-Blair doctrine of militant Zionism. Based on the analogy of the nottorious Jewish Bolsheviks which ruled the former Soviet Union with iron fist leaving an estimated 60 million of innocent corpses.

Whom are the mad Busheviks gonna attack next?
I think it’s a toss between Syrian and Iran.
Can anybody stop these lunatics?
Well, not until you control at least one non-zionist radio or TV station!

Fake Traveller’s notebook

I think many people know about the Traveller’s notebook by Japanese design company MIDORI [緑]. I learned about it from mya Shanghai friend in winter, and spent some time trying to know whether it is possible to buy one in Mainland China. But they are not.

Nevertheless, the very friend of mine is about to establish a website, where the Midori, Moleskine and the stuff will be available in PRC. But it is another story.

The Midori’s notebooks at the moment can be purchased in Japan, Hong Kong and the US. In Tokyo they are 3360円 each ($31), in New York $47, and I have no information about HK. Nevermind. Mine notebook will arrive in a week, many many thanks to my friend Nihiru.

But once walking along the Guozijian (国子监） near the Yonghegong Lama temle, I came across the ‘Lost & Found’ shop [失物招领] – a small design, fashion, interior, stationery shop, where Moleskine notebooks and lots of interesting stuff being sold. And there also was a fine imitation of Midori’s notebook, labeled ‘Lost & Found’. 118 RMB for the notebook and 2 extra books for the 15 RMB each.
