...Kiam Poopaduang parks his pushcart full of insects outside the city's Nana red-light district each night?its sign reads "Amazing Thai Food"?motorcycle taxi drivers and bar girls start to swarm. Four years ago Kiam was a rice farmer in the northeast. "I barely made enough to feed myself," he says. Now, on a good night, he can make $80 in profit. Somkid, a dancer in a nearby go-go bar, says her foreign boyfriends-for-the-night are revolted when they see her scarfing down scarab beetles. But as she plucks the legs off a locust...
...cornerstone of Washington's defense strategy in Asia. But Okinawans have long considered themselves pawns in a geopolitical game.

Essentially I was just there that day as a comic feed, and elder statesman, to feature some of his trampoline business, but I didn't want to be blown completely out of the water. As with any great practitioner, he had me on my toes and trying to get on my best game. It was a wonderful afternoon...
...case, Condit has drawn ever more attention to himself by so obviously trying to deflect it. He might as well walk down the Capitol steps with his jacket pulled over his head. There's good reason not to talk to the media - the beast gets hungrier the more you feed it. But is there any reason not to talk to the police? Clamming up makes you look like you're hiding something. After Condit's first attorney, Joseph Cotchett, blurted out that Condit's wife had been visiting the weekend of Levy's disappearance - a fact Condit omitted...
