This might be a site worth watching, if they didn't post reviews on dive bars that closed more than a year ago.

PS: It wasn't the smoking ban that closed Sully's down. They lost their license after the rampant drug trade on the premises. Same for Diva's in Saint Paul and Johhny As in North Minneapolis.

I think we’re all going to learn some things about China in the years to come, Bob.

I’m in Beijing next month. Gonna watch my back.

I heard this morning that "an American relative of a US volleyball coach" was stabbed to death in Beijing, as he and his wife walked through a popular tourist site. The wife and Chinese guide with them were both injured in the attack.

I see now that it was a well-known Minnesotan who was killed.

Very strange, and very sad...

Oh I thought she meant double posting, which I did once this morning.

Tangentially, what’s with the double doses of political posting lately?
