		<description><![CDATA[Just heard the news that McCain has chosen Sarah Palin as veep. It is a good choice, at least good enough to get an Obama supporter like me worried. I like what I heard about Palin so far. She has a life story that is positive and can be related to.
However, this episode is just a distraction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Beijing Olympics is over today. I think many people I know are letting out a sigh of relief. Given so many misfortunes and unrests happened earlier this year, the summer Olympics once felt like a giant bubble ready to pop. Now it is over, all of a sudden, it dawned on me that 2008 was the best [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Read 驻京办主任 (1 and 2) after Steve C recommended it. He asked me whether I can still &#8220;handle&#8221; China but I was interested in the central-local relationship.
The book is similar to a pretty stylized mini TV series: bad guys are bad all around and good guys are good inside out, &#8220;邪不压正&#8221;, etc. And there isn&#8217;t as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pick up rowing at Carrie P&#8217;s recommendation. Really enjoyed the sport and the Lake Union Crew.
Monday was the first good day on water. I started to get a sense of how to row. The hardest part was to unlearn what I had been used to. And always pay attention to the rhythm! From breathing to rowing, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[今日忽然阴雨不断，傍晚推窗，天色昏明，四顾茫茫。一夜唯听雨声铿锵，水滴如注。情景声音，如风过帘动；故人旧事，似锦瑟重弹。是非究竟，奈何时过境迁。纵使相逢，应怪霜尘满面。
伤事耶？伤人耶？伤逝也。
录旧提以志。
明月宿鸟偎高枝，旧梦惊回思君时
沈园不堪问生死，禁城难免苦嗔痴
洛河百转神姝远，云台空候弄凤迟
何当潇湘听夜雨，抚琴轻吟小宇诗

		<description><![CDATA[Need to review:
Remnick&#8217;s profile (c) of Lang Lang in New Yorker.
Themes: Remnick&#8217;s style has been cryptic, abstract, dry and somewhat melancholy. This article is quite a change: light-hearted, fluid, witty and dynamic (full of montage)
Like the Olympian theme trying to make a point, although still a bit far fetched.

The Russian aggression narrative vs. the provoked Russian theory
Which one comes out on top eventually?
