This is a compendium of quotes and observations to share with you. Look for geopolitics, China, the environment and oh yes, sports, to rear their ugly heads here. It takes a tug from the centre to capture the multitude of goings on around the globe.

US Sends Rice to China
Coals to Newcastle? Another Canadian comedian to Hollywood (lets see, Mike Myers, John Candy, Jim Carrey, Leslie Neilsen, Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Rick Moranis, Rick Green, Eugene Levy, Matthew Perry)? How useful is it to send this dear Condoleeza lady when apparently she departs Beijing without, yes without, being told North Korea has made the concession not to implement further nuclear tests. Do the press in South Korea and Japan have it wrong or is Rice in China as useful as a wet noodle? Meanwhile the same old reliable press, albeit worlds away, is linking her romantically to Peter Mackay our foreign minister, who himself is currently in the dog house over his supposed sexist remark about his previous paramour, millionairess Belinda Stronach.
