Baby monkey gets his own guard dog

A Chinese zoo has given an orphan monkey its own guard dog to stop it being bullied by bigger primates.

Keepers at Jiaozuo City Zoo said the monkey was always being bullied and they had intervened to save his life several times.

"So we put a dog in the monkey cage, hoping he can protect the orphan," a zoo spokesman told the China News Network.

The zoo said the dog, Sai Hu, does his job very well.

"Whenever the baby monkey gets bullied, he dashes up and drives the others away. And the baby monkey is also very smart. Each time he smells danger he runs to jump on the dog's back and holds on tight.

"The alpha male monkey has been really unhappy since we sent in Sai Hu. He tried to organise several ambushes on the little monkey, but they all failed because of the dog," added the spokesman.

A Vietnamese movie called The Rebel.

Hollywood is either running out of ideas or purposely turning Asian stuff into crap.

That's pretty messed up.

Many Asian-American voters still uncommitted

Here are some Asian-American statistics as the election is exactly 3 weeks away.

---

More than half have no party affiliation, and in this presidential election 34 percent of those who are likely to vote still haven't made up their minds.

A new study, the National Asian American Survey (www.naasurvey.com/), digs more deeply into the political life of Asian-Americans than previous polls and gives insights that could help candidates reach out to the fast-growing groups, despite some of the challenges that would involve.

Overall, the study found 41 percent of Asian Americans are likely to vote for Barack Obama, 24 percent support John McCain and 34 percent are undecided.

Vietnamese-Americans backed McCain over Obama 51 to 24 percent.

Among Japanese-Americans, 60 percent supported Obama, as did 53 percent of Asian Indian-Americans.

Chinese-Americans backed Obama 41 percent to 12 percent for McCain, but 43 percent were undecided.

Filipino, Korean and other Asian-Americans were closely divided, slightly favoring Obama, but many were undecided.

How do I (Asians) celebrate Thanksgiving?

The same. Turkey and lots of FOOD!

Recall bad for San Jose? - No way!

Source: San Jose Mercury News


As the city struggles with grave economic challenges, the recall will distract residents and swing the spotlight back to a conflict that many see as bizarre. Who can forget the image of the aged hunger striker on City Hall plaza last winter, risking his life for the sake of a shopping district name? For Little Saigon advocates, this was a triumph. Others felt embarrassed for him.

No! It's not bizzare. It's very important. Fighting the name change from "Saigon Business District" to "Little Saigon" may seem petty and unimportant to many people but it was very important. Saigon Business District means nothing. Once the name goes up the Communists and their millions could claim the district for themselves and the community would be fucked. The name "Little Saigon" is famously known for being the neighbourhood of South Vietnamese and therefore could never be confused for being bought by the communists.

As for Madison Nguyen, the Vietnamese people of San Jose elected her and she's ignored them. She should be supporting the community and at worst being neutral about the situtation. She of all people should know that anything anti-vietnamese community and she would be automatically be branded a communists (true or not).

But she was too naive to recognize the plight of the situation and continued to stand in the way of these protests. For this reason the people don't support her anymore. They could have waited til the next election where she would lose for sure but they are so mad that they want to recall her NOW!
