I don't know the geography of Paris all that well...

...but one can only hope this happened somewhere near the Arch de Triumph.



PARIS - Organizers canceled the final leg of the Olympic run through Paris after chaotic protests Monday, snuffing out the torch and putting it aboard a bus in a humiliating concession to protesters decrying China's human rights record.


Isn't that torch supposed to burn forever? I may be mistaken. Oh well, it is the french. It's not the first time they've rolled over to aggression.



EDIT: Let me add, that I am in no way a fan of China and their actions.

Death Camp for Kitty


It would appear that in prep for the up coming Olympics in Beijing, the Chinese .gov has taken what they do best with their own people and put a spin on it.
Instead of places for dissenters to disappear to... They have created Kitty death camps. An article I found on drudge:
Describes how they are rounding the kitties up by the hundreds of thousands to be exterminated. Amidst a warning from the Chinese government that there could be diseased kitties anywhere. Residents are dumping their cats on the streets and some are being beaten to death in fear of the apparent disease. Along with this clean up process, the government is shutting down or moving industrial factories in order to try and clean up the city prior to the Olympics.
The whole thing reads like an article about what was found in post WWII Germany, but about cats.
The question this fresh faced blogger has.... When the city is all cleaned up, will anyone really believe that it's always been that way? Nobody does spin, quite like the communists.
