Minds, Meetings, Mindless Meetings.

Do you know what the biggest frigging story to come out of this goddamned summit is? Vladimir Putin putting a sweater on Chinese first lady Peng Liyuan. That's it! That is the BIG story. Man, I hate meetings...this just drives me nuts Short trip, I know, this just epitomizes why I hate meetings. I am not a China expert, I have some knowledge of the country, that's all; I know you can step on your...I know you can trip unknowingly over Chinese sensibilities GOD, do I know that! but I have no idea what is going on here. The western media doesn't either! Looking at several of the articles I see Putin's act characterized as:

A. "chivalrous."
B. "flirtatious."
C. "gallant."
D. an act that made Peng's husband Xi Jinping look "gauche."
E. "hitting on" Peng. And that gem comes from Foreign Policy.
F. "risque."

Each of those characterizations is contradictory with at least one of the others. Since Chinese state media immediately censored the video the negative characterizations have to be correct I don't know why! but that has to be the case. I don't want to know why! I'd bring my remote-controlled fart...Whatever! If I had a remote controlled fart machine and broughtittoameetingandsetitoff IF, I said If, at least then I'd know what I had done to step on my DICKKKKK!

As it is, I know two things. FIRST, I know I don't know SHIT about China and SECOND, I hate meetings. That's all I know. Good night. Maybe I shouldn't have said that, maybe that wasn't "courteous," maybe that would indicate I was going to bed and all kind of "risque" un-"gallant" things happen in beds, maybe I should just say I'M BLOWING THIS POPSICLE STAND!
