More News I Couldn't Possibly Make Up

I wish I had cable if only to see Jon Stewart handle this one tonight. Follow this carefully, note the players and think about it for a second.

China is giving Japan a bunch of s#!t over their refusal to compensate WWII Comfort Women. "I believe the Japanese government should face up to this part of history, take responsibility, seriously view and properly handle this issue," Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing says.

What's next, Dubya giving a lecture on the importance of human rights?

The really sick part of this is the Japanese response, though. The Japanese are blaming private contractors used during WWII to round the women up. "it was not as though military police broke into peoples' homes and took them away like kidnappers," Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said.

Yuck.

The RIGHT punishment for crooked businessmen

So, how much did the CEO, CFO, the board, etc of Enron end up paying for their sins? Not a whole hell of a lot, if you followed the story. Same with World Com and all the others.

Flash forward to today in China.

Now, China has a human rights record that, I believe the technical term is, SUCKS. But, I figure if crooked corporate pirates had to actually pay a fair price for the human suffering they cause, maybe they'd think twice.
