Here's the start to the Beijing story:
It all began when my colleague Steve's favorite noodle lady was forced to close down. Soon after, the Popsicle lady was gone, followed by the scary fruit guy.Give it a chance by clicking here.
Then, a few weeks ago, the shabby apartment complex across the street from mine was covered up with a 10-foot-high sheet metal fence. The barrier blocks a row of small shops on the ground floor that offer everything from handmade Chinese bread to bicycle repairs.
The Beijing that visitors and television viewers see during the Olympics isn't my Beijing...
(Sorry about the format of that website, it's the AP site for the iPhone, and I can't find the regular formatted one. But once done reading this one, you can click on the Category button up top, then Wacky News, then read how a "Mexican woman (riding a donkey) fights off a lion with machete(in Acapulco)".

They're already beating up reporters over there.
I also heard a story that they've been evicting locals and not giving them alternative housing so they can rebuild larger, more expensive housing that the outplaced cannot afford.

The goal the chinese gov't has set is to win more medals than the US. They will at any cost. I have little interest in any part of the Olympics since their priorities are so wrong. I don't know how to use my vcr recorder, don't have a dvd player and won't be staying up late.
