And he probably gets paid well for it. I suspect he doesn't make quite at much money blogging.
When blogging, or posting anonymously on other people's blogs, starts paying well, then well all start bettering our grammar, speling, and punctuation
ROFL. DOn't you know? You can't edit your own stuff.
Haha thanks.

WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. that reminds me a pedo Herbert from Family Guy
The LA Times article you linked to is really good. Really good. It's amazing considering that it's an American paper that sort of is dying (more than its peers NyT and WaPo) and doesn't really have money to spend on overseas reporting. Anyways, kudos to them for an excellent job on a topic that is very enlightening for Americans that may not be aware of another way of business-labor relations (whether those relations are for better or worse).
Gosh, if the THSR goes belly up, now that it wiped out the local airlines, zemapana?!
A few days ago, tehre was a two hour delay, and a doctor complained because loss of life resulted from being locked inside and not able to get out. I barely saw this on the local news and of course none on the English versions.
Of course, it's all Chen's fault because the THSR is a "gren" project, and they pocketed all the money... (bla bla bla...)
*Sigh*
ps.
I'm not a Native speaker, so I have no beef on the "who's on first" debate.
