Further proof of the US' reduced place in the world now:
We may have to borrow money from the Chinese so we can have a presence at the 2010 World Expo.
And get this--for real irony, it's in Shanghai, China.
Yow. That's good.
So naturally the Chinese want us there.
But at what cost?
It's a little over a year away and we're barely pushing ground for our building.
How embarrassing for the world's superpower, eh?
Wait.
Superpower?

We don't have to borrow a half billion dollars for the expo. The budget is currently $61M and can likely be done for 1/2 that. -- Ralph Miller (quoted in NPR article)
thanks for the note. I've deleted the amount, due to your notice.
