#1 It won't help.

And they won't take in as much money from the olympics as they'll lose from a month of shutting down major industries and power generation, but go for it, China. It should be the most entertaining thing at the olympics.

I'll double my popcorn order.

#2 Better lay in a stock of butter, too. Whether it comes from the Falun Gong, Taiwan or just mainlanders tired of the same old same old, I expect some entertaining political fireworks along with the athletic spectacle.

#3 Thanks for the reminder, Steve.

I'll double my butter and parmesan orders, too, and stock up on salt as well. ;-p
