#1 This will be very interesting - it ain't your Daddy's HK, anymore, kulture kiddies.

"But, to the concern of free-speech campaigners, immigration officials are said to have a blacklist of known activists, who will be denied entry into the territory."

ROFL! As we used to ask the n00bs in Saudiland when they went bonkers over, well, any number of insane things that passed as normal there:

Just where the hell do you think you are, Mr Twinkie? STFU, and "just lie back and enjoy it"*, lol.

* Hat Tip to Clayton Williams, one-time Donk candidate for Gov of TX who offered that advice on the campaign trail to wymyn during rape.

#2 I thought Claytie ran as a Pubbie*.

*I have never used the term "Pubbie" before, but for Claytie...well, nothing's too good for him, yah? How small can this font get, anyway?

#3 It's too early in the morning for that tiny font competition! ;)

That being said, I still want to know:

1) Are they bringing the giant puppets? And...

2) Are the "anarchists" living on mommy & daddy's dime going to act up? It could be fun to watch them get their asses kicked if they do.

#4 Lol, Quana, DB!

Q - You're right. He was trying to run as a Pub(bie, lol) and that was quite the rare thang back then - according to the Wiki folks he would've been only the 2nd PubGuv since reconstruction, lol. I shoulda Googled before I posted, lol. I did remember the quote and his Good Ol' Boy campaign, though. It was, um, colorful, lol.

DB - Tiny fonts strain yer baby blues, do they? Lol - sorry! I'm looking forward to the ~~headbusting~~ confrontation between low-IQ anarchists vs. low-IQ control freaks, heh. Pink tanks will be lost on the Chinese, methinks, lol.

#5 Tiny fonts are instantly readable by cut-and-paste into any word processor you have, then expand at leisure.
