The Chinese Zodiac considers 2006 to be the year of the dog. Insert joke here. So naturally, Miss Ronnie and Marc begged and pleaded Fausto to go to the south side and represent at the Chinese New Year Parade.
What was odd about the event was the lack of Asian people. There were high school hip-hop marching bands playing “Candy Shop,” Irish and Scottish six-footers and their lesbian pals playing the bagpipes, plenty of corporate floats (Mickey D’s and Radio Disney) lots of floats with politician’s logos, but very VERY few Chinese or any Asian organizations, groups, or spectacles.
Being big fans of Chinese opera, we really wanted to see some outlandish stuff. Somebody said “farewell” to all the concubines, the most interesting people were the college students dressed up in costumes promoting a Chinese dance show.
On today’s show Miss Ronnie generously celebrates her birthday with you the listener. Listen to this hilarious sequence of events of Miss Ronnie opening her presents and threatening Fausto with them.
BONUS: The fabulous European correspondent George Grant shares the news from Europe, and his take on why everyone is infatuated with the Ang Lee film Brokeback Mountain.
Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!
Check out these photos taken at the parade.

No matter who gets elected, we need to step up the pressure on them as soon as they get into office for our rights.
