Punkrocker with the Teddybears sells cadillacs. Lust for Life sells Cruise Vacations. Not that I am paying attention to the irony.

ED, we're Americans, dammit. We have more prisoners than China. Haven't you been following the news lately? And Nike is an American company (built on Chinese labor, but we won't dwell on that). Wake up and smell the coffee, bro.
Quote: The nationwide figures, as of January 1, include 1,596,127 people in state and federal prisons and 723,131 in local jails -- a total 2,319,258 out of almost 230 million American adults.http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/02/28/prison.population.ap/index.html
The report said the United States is the world's incarceration leader, far ahead of more populous China with 1.5 million people behind bars. It said the U.S. also is the leader in inmates per capita (750 per 100,000 people), ahead of Russia (628 per 100,000) and other former Soviet bloc nations which make up the rest of the Top 10.
But back OT, now we're cooking with gas...

Yes, but doesn't China have more, shall we say, "churn" through execution? Also, do the labor camps, re-education camps count as "prison"? How accurate are China's numbers?

Do you see how many posts this topic gets? Crazy.
I'm watching the Big Tease on the Reelz channel and I saw not one not two, but three martial arts movie trailers. What does it say about the current state of Martial Arts entertainment in America when almost fifteen minutes of a thirty minute show were devoted to MA? Granted one of the trailers was for Kung Fu Panda with martial Sensei Dustin Hoffman and the other was for the lambasted by DM "Redbelt" but the third had Jackie and Jet for The Forbidden Kingdom. You make the call.

I was perusing the latest Rolling Stone (the one with The Eagles) on the cover.
In the back there was an ad for some 'Martial Arts Noir' books. Through my tears of laughter I saw the glowing endorsement of our very own DM.
"Smart, Martial-arts thriller" - Gene Ching, Kung-Fu Magazine.
Right above "A writer who understands the deeper side" - Stuart Charno, Kung-Fu Master
It was cool seeing DMs name out of the blue like that.
I am curious about the book though. I envision passages like "Wei Fung launched himself from the Solid Horse stance and spun his whole body into the Startled Monkey kick landing his left foot against his opponent's cheek hearing the satisfying crunch of bone".
Come on DM - give us a full review.
BTW I'm not trying to be dismissive. It's just that I'm incredibly cynical about commercial ventures that capitalize on a 'gimmick', like the crappy 'Dead Tour' murder mystery that used Grateful Dead shows as a backdrop for some horrible storytelling.
I gave you a full review... - Drunk Monk - 05-19-2008

Hey, it was "laundry day" and I had nothing else clean to wear.
