*** Now Showing: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly Americans
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/27/AR2005082700034.html>
Martha Bayles, Washington Post

American popular culture is no longer a beacon of freedom to huddled masses in closed societies. Instead, it's a glut on the market and, absent any countervailing cultural diplomacy, our de facto ambassador to the world.

*** A Refrigerator Door And A Handle On Life

*** Beijing's Quest For 2008: To Become Simply Livable
<http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/28/international/asia/28beijing.html>
Jim Yardley, New York Times

Beijing is so efficient at pouring concrete that the International Olympic Committee has asked it to slow down rather finish construction too soon. Far more difficult will be fulfilling Beijing's promise of playing host to a "green" Olympics as well as meeting a new goal in the city's revised master plan -- to become "a city suitable for living."

*** Single, White With Dildo

Anna Jane Grossman, Salon

Thanks to developments in the field of "teledildonics," quick and easy cybersex is becoming an option for anyone with a mouse. Could internet-enabled sex toys soon become must-haves for online daters?

<http://www.calendarlive.com/tv/radio/cl-et-elvis29aug29,0,1942955.story?coll=cl-home-more-channels>
Martin Miller, Los Angeles Times

There are those who say that pop-radio stations play the same set of songs over and over again and all sound alike -- a statement that is both true and not true of Sirius Satellite Radio's Elvis Radio.

*** Language Born Of Colonialism Thrives Again In Amazon
<http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/28/international/americas/28amazon.html?8hpib>
Larry Rohter, New York Times

When the Portuguese arrived in Brazil five centuries ago, they encountered a fundamental problem: the indigenous peoples they conquered spoke more than 700 languages. Rising to the challenge, the Jesuit preiests accompanying them concocted a mixture of Indian, Portuguese and African words they called "lingua geral," or the "general language," and imposed it on their colonial subjects. Elsewhere in Brazil, lingua geral as a living, spoken tongue died off long ago. But in a remote and neglected corner of the Amazon where Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela meet, the language has not only managed to survive, it has made a remarkable comeback in recent years.

Atypical Singaporean

In the spirit of building a "rugged society" that can walk/march in the rain, do sychronized dance in the mud, I implore the government not to open the Buangkok station for an indefinite time. Let them walk.
