What are your views on Taiwan’s president Chen Shui-Bian,his Stock Market Queen of a wife & his corrupt in-laws?
* * *
In the past few months the president of Taiwan (also known as the Rep. of China) Chen Shui-Bian has run into scandal after scandal.It interests me what other people think about his notorious family.Specifically his son-in-law Zhao Jian-Ming,his son-in-laws father Zhao Yu-Chu and most of all his beloved wife,,,who happens to be earning astronomical amounts of money in stocks/bonds and gift vouchers up to 4 million New Taiwanese Dollars.
I would like to know what an insider to the currant situation predicts and most of all…insight.
Yes, it seems that Chens’ son in law has caused the whole family quite a lot of shame, but keep in mind that it was not the president himself. This scandal is a big boost to Taiwan’s opposition KMT, who are currently renewing their call to impeach Chen (which is actually the same thing they have been doing all along anyway).
Try his son-in-law and punish him for whatever laws he broke, but to try to use this scandal to bring down Chen just shows that the opposition is just grasping at straws, eager to pick up on any available issue to attack the president.
It’s no surprise that Ma Ying-jeou is less that eager to join the calls to re-call the president over this issue. After all, he may soon be president himself, and re-calling the president over some infraction on the part of one of the president’s relatives would set a precedent that Ma may find unsettling.
Beyond all this, the KMT’s tendency to obsess about the president’s family is a sign of their out-dated thinking. In their world, Chaing Kai-shek had a divine right to rule, and his son inherited that legitimacy. They want a big, powerful, handsome, charismatic man to lead them– which is why they worship Ma. They are big on pedigree and care less about actual policies. Another problem they have is that they cannot distinguish between the KMT party and the state, because they grew up in a time when no such distinction was allowed.
KMT supporters remind me of the old and confused people I see on CNN who protest and carry signs with Stalin’s photo in Russia, nostalgic for the “good old days”.

The Right Stuff
$6.11
Covering some 15 years, The Right Stuff recounts the formation of America’s space program, concentrating on the original Mercury astronauts. Scott Glenn plays Alan Shepard, the first American in space; Fred Ward is Gus Grissom, the benighted astronaut for whom nothing works out as planned; and Ed Harris is John Glenn, the straight-arrow “boy scout” of the bunch who was the first American to orbit the earth. The remaining four Mercury boys are Deke Slayton (Scott Paulin), Scott Carpenter (Charles Frank), Wally Schirra (Lance Henriksen) and Gordon Cooper (Dennis Quaid). Wolfe’s original book related in straightforward fashion the dangers and frustrations facing the astronauts (including Glenn’s oft-repeated complaint that it’s hard to be confident when you know that the missile you’re sitting on has been built by the lowest bidder), the various personal crises involving their families (Glenn’s wife Annie, a stutterer, dreads being interviewed on television, while Grissom’s wife Betty, angered that her husband is not regarded as a hero because his mission was a failure, bitterly declares “I want my parade!”), and the schism between the squeaky-clean public image of the Mercury pilots and their sometimes raunchy earthbound shenanigans. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

How he tries to get off with the beautiful Sky, and dump girlfriend Delfine (without being beaten up by her psycho brother). In fact, how to get through life as a teenage boy.

Scary Stuff
$11.99
Antique picker Jane Wheel has always loved old stuff, from vintage salt and pepper shakers to other families’ old photos and orphaned Bakelite buttons, and she can’t really explain why. But she makes a living out of it, searching high and low at estate sales and antique shops and reselling her finds to other collectors. At least, it’s half a living—she makes the other half as an associate to a private detective, because she’s just as talented at digging up secrets as antiques. While visiting her brother for the first time in years, Jane’s fascinated by a story of mistaken identity: On three occasions, someone has accused him of swindling them on eBay, only to realize he’s not the right guy. Even though he doesn’t see the point, she wants to look into it. Then back at home one of her parents’ friends is attacked, leading Jane to vow to get to the bottom of things. Out of nowhere, Jane suddenly has two cases, both edging a little too close to her loved ones for comfort, because one thing’s for sure—whenever family gets wrapped up in your personal business, it’s bound to be some scary stuff.

The Wrong Stuff
$9.99
Jane Wheel has a lot of stuff. Vintage flowerpots, postcards, Bakelite buttons, pencil sharpeners, mismatched china, linens, even old report cards from children she never knew peek out from the deepest corners of her home, threatening to envelop her entire life. Of course, she’s not just a pack rat (or so she tells herself), it’s her job: Jane is an antique picker, cruising garage sales and rummage tables looking for items she can turn around and sell to dealers or collectors, picking up a tidy profit. Trouble is, she does a lot of buying and so far only a little selling. When a school permission slip lost among the towering boxes in Jane’s kitchen causes her son, Nick, to miss a field trip, Jane vows to get rid of it all, organizing her house and, in the process, she hopes, her life. Meanwhile, she’s entertaining two offers of employment—as an associate with her friend Tim Lowry’s antiques dealership and as a consultant in a private investigations firm with former police detective Bruce Oh. Unable to decide, Jane figures she’ll take a crack at splitting her time between the two pursuits. Immediately, and with fragile emotions swirling from her great house-cleaning project, Jane finds herself smack in the middle of a case that will draw on both her new jobs. An antiques dealer has been accused of murder, perhaps as part of covering up an extensive furniture-counterfeiting operation. Jane can hardly wait to investigate—that is, until she learns the identity of the accused: Claire Oh, wife of her new partner Bruce. Rich in the details of junk-sale ephemera that have intrigued fans of previous Jane Wheel adventures, The Wrong Stuff is another fascinating, meticulously crafted mystery.

Soon, she and Felix are caught up in a make-or-break search for family, identity and meaning. And little do they know quite where the journey will take them … The White Stuff announces Simon Armitage, one of our nation's leading and award-winning poets, as one of our greatest novelists.

The Stuff of Dreams
$25.58
Many texts about anxiety are based either in the philosophical tradition or within the medical model under the guise of discussions about post-traumatic stress disorder. In the case of fantasy, however, the usual sources of discussion are in literary and cultural criticism. Bringing the two together offers the scope for a book with an original theme. The aim throughout is to make technical psychoanalytic ideas easily accessible to the general reader. The balance between clinical ideas, philosophical ideas and literary sources is aimed at keeping both potential audiences interested. Clinicians may find the idea of thinking ‘dialectically’ helpful with their patients. Although this approach is implied in both Freud and Lacan, this is the first book to put dialectics ‘centre stage’ in terms of understanding the patient’s discourse. As far as general readers are concerned, most texts on fantasy do not ‘home in’ on the contribution of anxiety to the constantly changing content of fantasy.
