聽說政府要去蔣,講白一點,要改寫歷史。但我要提一個簡單問題:如果把貨幣上的蔣中正刪除,最直接受惠的是偽造貨幣的人。人的天性,認臉的本能很強,尤其是熟悉的臉,所以如果貨幣上的臉有一點點不對,我們很容易辨認。為甚麼英美等國的鈔票硬幣都有領袖、功臣的臉,就是這個道理:刁難偽造鈔票的人。
蔣臉有這個好處,我們都看過幾千次,很熟,萬一有點畫的不對、不像,我們馬上感覺怪怪的。現行千元大鈔的小朋友的臉,你能認幾個?不要看:有幾個男生、幾個女生?所以蔣臉有這個實際好處,保障我們的權益。

In his first eighty days as President,
Trump’s visits to his golf course in Florida have cost the tax payers US$20
million.
This from the man who kept sniping at Obama
for spending time and money golfing.

每次過忠孝東路、光復南路,嘆氣唏噓,寧可臺北市長貪汙,也不要這種刷權術的市長,讓民脂民膏爛在那。即使陳水扁貪到國際上名列前茅,能貪多少?不要光看那些建材生鏽壞掉,少了東區的生機,無形損失慘重。

Ksasan appeared silently with a woman's
rain boot. Uh-oh! I had heard Latang working in the bamboo forest, so I took
the shoe to ask if it was hers or her sister's. No, it wasn't theirs, it wasn't
their size. I began to feel like the Prince in Cinderella. I left the shoe in a
conspicuous spot by the road and brought Ksasan home. She displayed absolutely
no contrition. I deny having anything to Yugan, who is a Talovichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01268502761515086333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042973.post-29053100039450695312017-03-28T22:19:00.000+08:002018-03-23T22:20:24.336+08:00

BBC, which is hardly a bunch of wildeyed
radicals, reports confirmation of Trump’s being susceptible to blackmail by the
Russians (golden shower, etc).
What if…?
What if Trump himself realized this, had no
way to back out of his campaign without irritating the Russians, and so
determined to become the worst President possible, so he would be impeached,

country and our people, and neither do we."

You bought it
by Robert Reich.
1. He called Hillary Clinton a crook.
You bought it.
Then he paid $25 million to settle a fraud lawsuit.
2. He said he’d release his tax returns,
eventually.
You bought it.
He hasn’t, and says he never will.
3. He said he’d divest himself from his financial
empire, to avoid any conflicts of interest.
You bought it.
He is still heavily involved in his businesses,
