Daily linklets 4th May

What's in this year: black, jeans, polio.
Close encounters of the Chinese kind.
Strapped for ideas for Mother's Day? Why not rent out the kids for a day?
Philippine rebels are complaining China isn't Maoist anymore. They should take China's big hint.
The real meaning of laowai (via TPD). This past weekend I was discussing the word gweilo, a similarly pejorative term. But like many other such terms when those so labelled claim the term for themselves it loses its old sting and renders it neutral. An example of this is queer.
Even the Scouts are getting involved in the fight for intellectual property rights. I'll bet Chan Nai-ming, the Bit Torrent Bugular, didn't get that badge.
The name game: Voice of America slips one past the Chosun Ilbo.
The paradox of public opinion in Japan over the Self Defence Forces and Article 9 of the constitution.

I hope for the sake of the Nepalese people that the 'Maoists' there too (more like 'thugs') take the hint as well.
