John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

I see the Australian Prime Minister is on a furtive phone call today to Mr Trump asking him to PLEASE accept 200 refugees from Iraq/Iran etc currently being held on a Pacific Island nearby as prisoners... the deal was worked out with President Obama but he's not there any more. The deal is to trade 200+ Iraqis/Iranian genuine refugees for 200+ Central Americans the USA certainly does not want, and will not allow...and wouldn't accept even under Obama. The notion is that this deal will show that Australia is a kind country...even though the Australian Govt hasn't really mentioned we will be receiving the 200+ Central Americans to the Australian public. Soo, 200 genuine refugees to be swapped with 200+ non-acceptable, non-genuine Central American refuge seekers who never wanted to come here...hmmm. Now there's a plan.

Young People grow up more beautiful and their parents grow older and dull and repetitious. Unfortunately, as the leader of all the cats in the world said..."Our war on string may be unwinnable." Things are as they should be. Happy New Year. And, yes, Madonna, who always wanted to be disgusting, well, now, yes, she is.
