Yep, that old sitdown throne—whether a three holer in the back or indoor, gold-plated, and well watered—allows all sorts of revolutionary fashion statements, don't it?

If I recall correctly there was a definitive study some many years ago about the many health benefits of squatting. Can't remember if it was Japanese.

If one is lucky enough to get old, for example, one remains perforce pretty limber.

I also recall a study about the Russians toilet training their children in eight months on average. Baby, it's cold outside, and old traditions die hard, especially when there are hidden advantages.

Chinese offer 'throne' for first lady's use

By Tatsudo Akayama, Asia Correspondent for Daily Republican Newspaper

TOKYO DESK - Chinese authorities in Ziang have reportedly built a throne, of sorts, for the first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton. It is a portable "regal restroom" for her use during the China trip.

According to Liz Sly who is in Beijing this week, the water closet's $23,000 price tag even exceeds by about 30 times the average annual income of the typical worker in Beijing. Zhao Chen, vice bureau chief of the Badaling Great Wall Cleaning Supervision Department, told Sly that the Chinese people provided the water closet for the first lady '...to show how much we honor and respect her visit.'

Detailes of the portable water closet contraption include a Western-style self-contained privy with all the necessaries, including a porcelain toilet bowl, seat, and air-conditioning.

The gesture apparently is not being extended to president Clinton by the Chinese people, however. President Clinton is not holding any press conferences on this China trip and he could not be reached for comment.

Well, there's one answer, NRO's Sief is almost certain Zhu's on turd

"Where Zhu embraces international trade and welcomes globalization to China, Hu has inexorably risen over the past four years by playing the card of xenophobic nationalism. It will be surprising if he does not purge Zhu and his many associates in key positions, particularly if the long-feared financial collapse finally sweeps the Shanghai banking sector."

And Hu has not even "succeeded" yet, hehe. By the way, just whom is who succeeding anyway?

Swiss banking circles reporting any unusual visitors or activities, especially from the Far East? How silly of me, discrete—and discreet—Swiss never report such things.

Either of the Clintons making plans to to travel to the Czech Republic again perhaps?

I actually know someone who once wiped up the messy-antic oralface with poison oak leaves. As if that wasn't enough to demonstrate his creativity in the scatological art, the same guy has been observed (briefly) squatting (and swatting) over a nest of yellow-jackets.

A friend of his, perhaps.

So they are sinking money into the toilet, instead of sinking money down the toilet.

(#55):"A friend of his, perhaps."

(#37):"Seems like a lot of trouble I know, but depending on where you are, you can now get up quickly and run somewhere else if you have too, and still have your trousers if you need them."
