- 10/23 20:19, 2007引述 :『FRANKFURT, Germany - A European court on Tuesday ruled that a German law shielding car maker Volkswagen AG from hostile takeovers is illegal, clearing the way for Porsche AG to increase its influence — and possibly take control — at Europe's biggest car maker.()

The decision by the European Court of Justice also is expected to have wider ramifications across Europe, where many governments have tried to protect companies they see as vital to their economies from takeovers, particularly foreign ones.
German politicians and labor unions had argued that the law was needed to protect local jobs but the court, the EU's highest, said it was illegal. It ruled that the law limited "the free movement of capital."』 - 10/23 20:11, 2007引述 :『「講一半」比「不講」更可恨，不講還知道說謊是不對的，但「講一半」則不知道。經常「講一半」則是故意欺騙。()
對於馬英九來說，他不認為這樣不妥，因為他的文化中，要對誰講真話是有對象、階級性的。面對被統治階級的台灣人，那是根本不用講真話，所以，馬英九對於他講那些根本扭曲事實的話，他不是不懂，而是認為說這樣的話並不是不妥，而且是應該的。』 - 10/23 20:06, 2007引述 :『說出「不要講以前國民黨怎樣怎樣」這樣話的人，一直強調批判執政黨施政不當是他的「言論自由」，不容任何人質疑，要別人尊重他的言論自由，卻不自知或故意地忘記別人有說「以前國民黨怎樣怎樣」的言論自由。所以，這種人是無法接受別人的意見，只是一直在強調：「請問你，憑什麼？」卻不容許別人反問他：「請問你，憑什麼？」因此，說這種人是真正的一言堂主義的信仰者，一點都不過分。』()
- 10/23 15:07, 2007引述 :『Wow. Among the hundreds of articles on Taiwan I have discussed on this blog over the last couple of years, this piece of dreck from Robert Ross, For China, How To Manage Taiwan?, represents the absolute nadir of writing on the island and its future in a major media publication.()
Probably the only accurate statement in the piece is found in the opening two paragraphs:』 - 10/23 09:51, 2007引述 :『〔記者李文儀／台北報導〕一項全球首度大規模的ＭＢＡ（經營管理或企管碩士班）就學意願相關調查發現，台灣是唯一在受調查學生中，沒有人願意留在本國就讀的國家，而表達願意來台就讀ＭＢＡ的學生，也僅限柬埔寨、孟加拉、菲律賓等少數亞洲國家，顯現台灣ＭＢＡ教育似乎缺乏國際競爭力的警訊。』()
- 10/23 09:49, 2007引述 :『由於台灣ＭＢＡ教育未能與世界接軌，缺乏國際競爭力，除了台大、政大等大學相繼推動英文教學外，教育部也實施商管專業學院的政策，要求ＭＢＡ教育必須以具有工作經驗者為招生對象。』()
- 10/23 03:02, 2007引述 :『前美國副總統、競選總統以些微差距敗給小布希的高爾(Al Gore)，因為一部探討氣候變遷的紀錄片「不願面對的真相」(An Inconvenient Truth)贏得奧斯卡獎，聲名大噪。其實，另一個大家不知道的真相是：高爾也會打籃球啊！』()
- 10/23 00:32, 2007引述 :『The life of late Bamboo Union gang leader Chen Chi-li (陳啟禮) provides the perfect example of the complicated relationship that existed between criminal organizations and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) regime.()
Chen and two fellow gang members gunned down Chinese-American writer Henry Liu (劉宜良) -- better known by his pen-name Jiang Nan (江南) -- at his house in 1984, reportedly at the order of a Military Intelligence Bureau chief.
Chen died of pancreatic cancer in Hong Kong on Oct. 4.』 - 10/23 00:29, 2007引述 :『BEIJING (AFP) - China on Monday unveiled a new leadership team that gave President Hu Jintao a stronger hand in governing the country and put forward potential successors to take over power from him in 2012.()

Hu, 64, was given a second term as head of the ruling Communist Party and the nation's armed forces, following more than a week of closed-door meetings in Beijing during which he worked to consolidate his grip on power.』 - 10/23 00:11, 2007引述 :『杜正勝部長打瞌睡的新聞你要做幾天？上圖這傢伙還想選他.馬的總統，你們怎麼不做個特集？！()
更遑論一個防災會報為什麼要找教育部長去參加，（是怎樣，部隊裡的早晚點名嗎？）光從新聞畫面和報導當中就可以感覺到統媒們濃濃的惡意，真的正如新聞局長謝志偉所說的：杜正勝堅持自由、民主的精神，引起泛藍「不成比例的追殺」。
不過前面說到做特集，沒想到還真的有！』 - 10/22 21:05, 2007引述 :『In the biggest fallout from the Tim Donaghy betting scandal to date, six NBA refs have been disciplined by the league for breaking its strict, if unrealistic, anti-gambling rules.()
Sources say that the six, whose identities remain unknown, were busted for infractions as minor as frequenting casinos. The refs' links to gambling came as a result of the league's investigation into its 60-man staff after the federal case against Donaghy.』 - 10/22 09:58, 2007引述 :『NEW HAVEN, Conn. - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has a 15-cent price tag stuck to his Yale law degree, blaming the school's affirmative action policies in the 1970s for his difficulty finding a job after he graduated.()
The conservative justice says he initially considered his admission to Yale a dream, but soon felt he was there because of his race. He says he loaded up on tough courses to prove he was not inferior to his white classmates but considers the effort futile. He says he was repeatedly turned down in job interviews at law firms after his 1974 graduation.』 - 10/22 09:49, 2007引述 :『各項數據顯示，曼谷沉沒危機並非空穴來風。曼谷地勢僅高於南鄰的泰國灣一到一．五公尺，有些區域甚至低於海平面，而泰國灣水平面以每年○．二五四公分的速度上升。』()
- 10/22 09:34, 2007引述 :『熟悉各國移民法的政治大學法律系助理教授廖元豪分析，內政部人口政策白皮書如此規畫，在居留與歸化之間增加永久居留階段，將對新移民歸化入籍很不利。()
他指出，因為增加永久居留階段，形同增設一道門檻，新移民拿到身分證的時間將往後拉長，除非政府要先確保新移民在永久居留階段的權利，就跟歸化後的情況一樣，擁有參政權、社會權、考試權等。』 - 10/22 09:28, 2007引述 :『根據本報最新民意調查，即使近七成四民眾認為嫁娶外籍配偶很普遍，卻有四成七指會帶來負面影響，近五成認為對大陸配偶申請來台應更嚴格；專家學者抨擊台灣只有移民規定，缺乏上位的移民政策，更欠缺認同價值體系的形塑，不謹慎處理，終有一天將成政治地雷』()
- 10/22 09:21, 2007引述 :『東南亞配偶同樣如此，九十三年以一萬七千餘人達到最高峰，由於台北駐越南經濟文化辦事處採一對一面談的嚴格管制，令不願久候的台灣男性望之卻步，紛紛打退堂鼓，隔年即跌到一萬人，去年為六千人，今年到六月更僅有二千一百人，可能再度創下新低點。』()
