The year in review.

The income gap: The one per cent grows even richer!

The South China Sea: It's the realpolitik, stupid!
(that is, politics 101 = self-interest comes first)

International politics: Is the world getting scarier?
(well, for sure, the Washington Times is a favourite of the Neocons)

With such weighty worries, how are we welcoming 2015?...

Never mind, always keep our sense of humour as we sail into 2015...

A bookseller conducting a market survey asked a woman -- 
"Which book has helped you most in your life?"

The woman replied -- "My husband's cheque book'' !!

So, remember, write "2015" (not "2014") in your cheque book.
