Americans in China Get An Earful: “George Bush Is Real America”

Beijing, China - Perhaps it was the shaojiu, a strong local liquor, or perhaps it was the fact that China had just passed the USA in total Olympic medal count and, after the men’s gymnastics finals, now has twice as many gold medals. Normally polite to a fault, this reporter encountered at least one Chinese man who spoke candidly about the USA. In a small restaurant near the Olympic village we were approached by an elderly man who spoke broken english and obviously had been drinking. “You Americans maybe learn something today. You not biggest rooster on farm anymore. And your president, George Bush here for olympics. He is real America. Arrogant, act like spoiled child. I know, I live one time Los Angeles. You invade country, cause million people die, and you lecture rest of world? You think Obama change anything? You broke and you eat whole world up. Big fat people. Maybe you not eat so much.” And all we were looking for was a good place to eat local dim sum.

Ride the S.L.U.T. (South Lake Union Trolley)

Seattle, WA -When Seattle transit officials realized the planned South Lake Union Trolley had an unfortunate acronym, it was too late. The Cascade neighborhood residents had embraced the acronym and began printing T-shirts. Now the trolley has it’s own official song. Alt-cowboy songwriter Ken Cofield’s song about the trolley has been getting airplay on local radio stations. It ends with the memorable tagline, ” you can take the S.L.U.T. for a coffee break, but don’t take her home, that’s a big mistake.” The trolley is the centerpiece of an inner-city development project in the Cascade neighborhood. The old industrial area which provides inner city low income housing in Seattle is being re-developed by billionaire Paul Allen into a bio-tech medical research complex. The project is known locally as UrineAllenTown.

Halfway, OR - When the tiny eastern Oregon town formerly known as Half.com lost it’s internet-based name and international attention dried up, local business owners began to look for new ways to draw tourists from highway 86 to spend money in Halfway. “Then it hit me. What do we have here that’s unique and there’s a never-ending supply of?” said Rodger Anderson, owner of the Road King diner. Wild animal game is attracting a following in Oregon nouveau cuisine circles and it isn’t unusual to find someone at the Road King who traveled several hundred miles to eat local wild game. “We serve the finest local game year-round.
