Opposition wins Taiwan presidential vote By PETER ENAV, Associated Press Writer

TAIPEI, Taiwan - Taiwan's opposition candidate cruised to victory in the presidential election Saturday, promising to expand economic ties with China while protecting the island from being swallowed up politically by its giant communist neighbor.

 

Fireworks lit up the sky over Ma Ying-jeou's headquarters, and cheering supporters put up victory posters before the former Taipei mayor climbed on stage and declared victory.

 

"People want a clean a government instead of a corrupt one," said Ma, also a former justice minister. "They want a good economy, not a sluggish one. They don't want political feuding. They want peace across the Taiwan Strait. No war."

 

Across town, a crying crowd gathered at the campaign office for ruling party candidate Frank Hsieh, a former premier.

Shouldn't there be an "r" in there somewhere?

 

I couldn't help myself.

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.? ~ Thomas Sowell

That because you're a racist....and asians can't say or write "r" :P I had a chinese TA in my university chem lab who used to say "wiff of the reefer" instead of width of the river, and "sniffigant fingers" instead of significant figures.

 

We went fishing once and the guy there told us "the liver is the best place to fish".

 

Those damn r's really fukk things up.
