NBA

I went to my first NBA game tonight! Charlotte Bobcats vs Houston Rockets! Yao Ming! McGrady!

Despite having followed basketball since middle school, and vigorously idolizing several NBA stars, I never saw a game live. I'm glad I went today. The game was awesome, as the Rockets never had a full lead, and in the last four minutes a tight game developed. The Bobcats wouldn't give up, and after Yao fouled out, the Bobcats fought back to a tie and sent the game into overtime. Eventually the Rockets lost fuel, largely because TMac wasn't shootin well all night long, and lost to a better "team" team. I was up in the cheapest section and had to squint to really see the action, but the atmosphere of a live game: seeing and hearing the entire crowd cheer or taunt in unison was something I could feel throughout the entire Coliseum. I have to admit I was rooting for the Rockets, but the Bobcats deserved their win.

Mr. 郭

There's been a recent controversy in Taiwan over the scandalous writings of the government information officer, 郭冠英, stationed in Toronto. Here's an op-ed piece from Taipei Times. I agree with Mr. Cole that although freedom of speech is guaranteed and necessary in a democratic country, once you are employed in the government, there should be limitations to what can and cannot be said. The writings of Mr. Kuo, even though posted anonymously, breaks the trust that the public has in him as an official representative of Taiwan in Toronto, and is a breach of his responsibility to the citizens of the land of Taiwan. Frankly, I think Mr. Kuo's an idiot. ***** He said it'd be OK to kill my wife By J. Michael Cole 寇謐將 Thursday, Mar 26, 2009, Page 8 We met when I worked as an intelligence officer in Canada, part of an organization that at times risked making racism and hatred for the “other” — in that case, mostly Arabs and Muslims — a normal policy.
