WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, June 2) -- President Bill Clinton on Thursday will notify Congress he is renewing China's most-favored-nation (MFN) trading status -- now formally known at Normal Trade Relations (NTR) -- for another year, CNN has confirmed.
Shocked, yes, SHOCKED I am that the Comrade-in-Chief wants to play nice with the Heathen Chinee.
Really. I'll bet Congress rolls over and gives him a 75-80% majority approval, as well.
Grumble.

How does it become a man to behave toward this American government to-day?
I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it.
