Indonesia's Kompas reports: "The appointment of Rice ... will make history as the first African American Secretary of State..."

Um.

OK, maybe this is a translation thing. Maybe in Indonesian, the nouns and adjectives are gendered, so the correct translation would include the world "female." Or maybe people are just really, really dumb.

For whatever it's worth, I noticed the Kompas web site has an entire section devoted to feng shui.

I have a friend who always says, "Sheng fuj," which is Czech for "sheng yuck."
