No kids involved, plus it's not Spring Break in Mexico. /sarc

Seriously, I support what Free Republic's admin mod did in following the lead of others in yanking inappropriate posts on the Obama children. My point is that the Chinese have no legitimate reason to get American websites to scrub discussion of this.

Also, thank you to TigerLikesRooster and AmericaninTokyo for your work on the ground. The next time I'm in Korea, I may ask if I can look both of you up since most Korean flights stop in Tokyo. Unfortunately the last time I was sent on business to Korea by my newspaper was over a decade ago, and I lost out on a chance to work for the English-language desk of a certain Seoul newspaper in 2001, so all my Korea travel since then has been personal on my own dime. Plus now I have to pay somebody else to do my job when I'm gone on top of paying my own paycheck. Capitalism sometimes carries certain negatives like having to figure out how to pay my employees and my own bills, too, but obviously the Chinese and North Korean alternatives to capitalism are horrifically worse.
