Backlash ends Chinese bid for Unocal

China's CNOOC Ltd. on Tuesday abandoned a bold $18.5 billion offer to acquire Unocal Corp. (UCL) in the face of strident political opposition

This generated enough of an uproar, that the ChiComs' CNOOC gave up on trying to snarf up UNOCAL in an $18B+ deal. IT seems that lots of folks here felt pretty queasy about this one, and that concern managed to penetrate into Congress and elsewhere in D.C. Finally the ChiComs decided that it was more trouble than it was worth.

The Chief has a hunch that there's a bit more to it than that - perhaps the backdown was to keep us from getting too riled up at them before they're ready for their moves on Taiwan. In other words, they want to keep the sleeping giant asleep. Hopefully it doesn't work out for them that way.

"Welcome aboard" to Jim River Report

The Chief notes a recent arrival on the SD blog scene - the somewhat Drudge-like presentation of the JIM RIVER REPORT - but focused primarily on SD and the SD blogosphere.

Ain't this quite a sight? And the player being inducted with Sandberg this year was also pivotal during one of the greatest sports moments of my life: Wade Boggs. In 1996, I watched the Yankees rally back in the series...

COLUMNIST OFF THE AIR AFTER ABC/DISNEY IS INTIMIDATED BY CAIR

Yesterday Michael Graham wrote in his column: "I take no pleasure in saying it. It pains me to think it. I could very well lose my job in talk radio over admitting it. But it is the plain truth: Islam is a terror organization."

Yowch - talk about not P.C.! This is chutzpah!

And then his fears came true.

Hours after his column appeared here, Graham, a mid-morning talker at WMAL in Washington, D.C., was suspended without pay pending an investigation. Graham's column and previous on-air comments were not the first time he's had a run-in with CAIR.

CAIR seems to act similarly to what an Islamofascist ACLU would do.

"Because of the mix of Islamic theology that ? rightly or wrongly ? is interpreted to promote violence, added to an organizational structure that allows violent radicals to operate openly in Islam's name with impunity, Islam has, sadly, become a terrorist organization. It pains me to say it. But the good news is it doesn't have to stay this way if the vast majority of Muslims who don't support terror will step forward and re-claim their religion."

Too true!

To all who ever doubted that I am a geek, the proof is the result of this test. I am furthest away from stoner. By the way, didn't Bill Murray used to sing a song called Blog Wars on SNL?...
