The shallow basis for such declarations from the government is supposedly the fact that most of Philippine exports are being sent to China rather than the US. But China is just a transit point or a gigantic department in the assembly line that spans the globe.

Such is the international division of labor under the era of globalization.

Obama Is No Country Song

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:04:02 +0000

The opinion community has embraced Obama in a brotherly hug, a lover’s arms, a worshipers supplication, an enemy’s arm’s length grip and in a madman’s clutching.

Good, and Now Back to Work: Avoiding Cynicism and Overconfidence in the Age of Obama

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 16:58:22 +0000

Let me say this, to some of those on the left -- some of my friends and longtime compatriots in the struggle for social justice -- who yet insist that there is no difference between Obama and McCain, between Democrats and Republicans, between Biden and Palin: Screw you.
