This move by Voice of America seems to have caused a bit of a stir back in the States, but not a drop of ink it seems here in Hong Kong. Of course Al Kamen's commentary on the issue is horribly slanted and rather misinformed.

And then, of course, there's the question of what will be written if the Chicoms invade Taiwan. Will there be a story saying, "One million brave Chinese volunteers, responding to desperate pleas for help from their cousins in Taipei, crossed the Taiwan Strait this morning"?

Did I mention that "ChiComs" was the new "IslamoFascists"? The use of "ChiComs" should tell you immediately which group of people are feeding Mr. Kamen the information for this article and that it's brainless 'Murka-firsters within the Busheviks.

Tim Shamble, president of the American Federation of Government Employees local, notes it doesn't seem to make sense that "English news broadcasts by the Voice of America should be written by non-Americans in a foreign country." Then there's the notion, he said, of American taxpayer dollars providing jobs for noncitizens overseas.

Hmmm... let me see, could one find an American citizen living and working in Hong Kong? Is it possible?

What a bunch of Morans!
