He thinks (probably rightly so) that he can garner more media attention (and create more pressure on the Chinese government) by doing what he is doing.

Meeting him should be interesting.

He's a very nice guy. And yeah, the bulk of his pro career was not in New Jersey, but Uncle Lou thinks very highly of him. I don't know how long he'll be available for, but he is likely to stop down and say hi.

Yeah, all true. Anything that makes Beijing look :rolleyes: is OK in my book.

I guess not.

Remember I got ISNOTPOSSIBLED when I sent you something the other day.

almost rearended a guy that was driving along with flow of traffic at 40 when he passed the 'pink pussycat' establishment and slammed on the breaks to turn in, he got to tinhking better of it and sped up rapidly only to slam on the breaks and swerve off the road to let people pass.

:rolleyes:

I do remember that and that was the first flag. I thought it may have just been an issue with something not updating at AOL.

Fun fun.

The decision of China to deny the basic human right to return home is quite newsworthy and this guy is doing everything he can to raise that issue. He's no fool.

You should change your NS to .goog

Any Y'all found a good fare to PRG yet for the DO? I saw the Zurich fare, but I did not really explore it. So far, fares are still way too high IMHO (relatively speaking ;):D) for off season to Europe at least from CLT.

I was waiting to see who the first person to suggest that would be.

Nothing good yet. A couple FD-able fares to MUC but even that isn't good enough right now for me to justify. I'm going to need something <$450 a/i to be able to make a go of it.

Just got my Medallion kit from SkyTeam USA

1) Wallet candy with February 2011 expiry
2) Bag tags that look like they are of the supermarket loyalty program keychain variety
3) 6 PMU
4) 4 drink chits with 31 December 2009 expiry

If you are flying on SkyTeam USA before the end of the year and want those chits, PM me to let me know how many you want. This being teh Box, I am sure you'll need all 4 if you are in whY. :D

+1, that is where I think my tolerance level is as well. I guess I could use my ST USA miles, but I feel :rolleyes: for the thought of burning miles in the dead of winter to Europe.
