I don't think serving foreign dignitaries on paper plates is an option.

And hey, you can think of it as a stimulus package for china manufacturers!
That china belongs to all of us huh...?

Hmm...


I also agree with the article...the timing is just wrong on so many levels.

A stimulus package for china manufacturers? Riiiight.

The porn industry asking for a bailout is a far enough stretch.

If the china industry asks for one then that is past going too far.
