Eh, Kimo, you gotta learn dakine if you want to be a citizen of da world . Since America stay be made up of all kine peeps who came from all ova da place, in da American vernacular you going see all kine words from odda places, jess like wen we go talk pidgin we go use some fracchured English wit dakine Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, anykine words stuck insai, yeah? Da oni reason I stay know lido bit Yiddish is because I wen go live in Boston foa 10 years and I was hanai'd wit one yenta who wen teach me dakine.

And I thought Bette was from Kailua? She always go make jokes about being da only red haired Jew in school!

BTW: September is da holiest month of da year for Jews. Get Yom Kippur. I'm kinda surprised no moa moa violence on da West Bank right now.

Re: Wal-Mart War Room

I was wrong...there was a WM news story today (er...maybe it's tomorrow...time zones, you know).

A community in NJ says, "Do you know how to spell collusion" with the local planning board?

Hui Kimo:
Just wen go come home (da conference was so boring dat we wen go catch one earlier flight!).

Neva have too much time for do much besides da conference...but we were in da St. Francis, which is just down da street from da Fairmont. One night we wen go eat one expense account dinner at Kutelo's which is one really good Italian restaurant one block down from da St. Francis.

Last night, we wen go eat down Fisherman's Wharf (Sabella's) onolicious kine seafood (again was on one expense account...I like dakine !)

Yesterday we had lido bit time, so me and dis coworker who went to da conference wit me wen to up to Chinatown. He one collector, so we wen go to dis place and he wen go buy some glass vases for about 80% discount. I wen go buy one carved jade piece over 100 years old for about 90% discount (da store was going out of business).

Today we cut out of da last session and wen go back to Chinatown for dim sum. Ho da ono was!

I home now (3 hours early) so it's back to da Wal-Mart Room news. Downtown SF no moa WM, but about every block get one Walgreen! PETA was picketing in front of Neiman Expensive, but neva have too many bums lying around Union Sq.

Re: Wal-Mart War Room

In today's WM newsblip, we have a story from India which says WM has now set up the ability to buy goods in India for its stores.

The next time you buy that spatula at WM or that trendy garment, check the label. You might discover that it was manufactured in India!

P.S. We now have a group of protestors in Mexico on a hunger strike to try to prevent the opening of the Mexico City WM. Ah, if only Mahatma Ghandhi was still alive. I only hope those people don't get run over by a bulldozer in the parking lot where the plexiglassed pre-Hispanic altar is housed.

Re: Wal-Mart War Room

In today's episode, we have an article from The Financial Express in India which states that India is hoping to secure $10 billion in trade with WM. OK. First we ship technology jobs over to them, and now we ship American bucks to them. They have a nuclear program that no one seems to want to talk about. They like us for now because we have money. They hate Nepal. Will they use some of the currency they get from us to expand their nuclear capability to become a world power and prove it by dropping the big one on Nepal? Lord knows they have the people...

In other news, Xinhua News (China) reports today that the Mexico City WM construction has been halted. Since I can't read Chinese, I can't corroborate this story until it comes out in some English-speaking (non-American) news story, probably tomorrow.

Re: Wal-Mart War Room

The Guardian (England) just published a story about what the people in Chicago think of WM efforts to build some stores in their community. I believe the reporting is a whole lot more objective than anything the US press could do, so for your edification, read here: http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?x210136999

I like the part about how the rationale that welcoming WM into a community will create more jobs is fallacious...all it does is move customers around and close down other businesses, so the net result is 0 or next to 0 gains in employment opportunities.
