Chinese Internet Maintenance Day! Woohoo!

Today, I sit here writing on "Chinese Internet Maintenance Day." After all in a country of billions, sites such as Twitter, Flickr, Hotmail and Bing require at least a full day (probably more) of maintenance so as to better serve the people.

My own words fail to express the gratitude the Chinese people must feel for this great day. So today, I had to look to a certain Barack Hussein Obama to help express the un-expressable. How ironic, that it takes a man from half a world away to express that which can not be expressed. Yet he is so eloquently forthcoming on this issue.

Where words fail. Hopes, spirit and sentiment do not.
