\"\"<\/span><\/a>As America rehashes the old rehashed hash over its unforgivable sin above Hiroshima, many are ignoring China as it busies itself learning a new trick<\/a> \u2013 because America is the only big bully in the world causing problems, don\u2019t you know. All those Americans who think that someone could actually cause us troubles, like, you know, China, are just paranoid. After all, China is a struggling wannabe trying to overcome old Western Racist Imperialism. <\/span>

<\/span>In other news, Hitler\u2019s grandson becomes topic of polite conversation by announcing his plans to enter politics. Strike that. I meant Mao Zedong\u2019s grandson <\/a>becomes a minor blip* in the media and a topic of polite conversation by announcing his intentions to enter into politics. Because Evil is Defined as Hitler and the Nazis murdered six million Jews; all other events are subject to academic debate. <\/span><\/p>\n

*Note in the story of Mao\u2019s grandson. The ridicule is over his appearance and achievements, not over his relation to history\u2019s #1 Mass Murderer. Place this in juxtaposition to the Today<\/em> show\u2019s curiosity regarding how Nixon\u2019s grandson can possibly overcome his ties to grandfather Richard<\/a>, and it isn\u2019t difficult to see symptoms of the Great Western Guilt in action, which helps us ignore things like China\u2019s growing power in the world. Remember, confession is good. Suicidal, unforgivable guilt is bad. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
