The Cake Eater Chronicles is

The Cake Eater Chronicles is also declaring itself to be a No Communist Zone.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Southern California city known as
"Little Saigon" because of its large Vietnamese population hasbecome
the first U.S. city to declare itself a "no Communist" zone.
The city council in Garden Grove, about 30 miles south of Los Angeles,
passed a resolution on Tuesday saying it "does not welcome, or sanction
high-profile visits, drive-bys or stopovers by members or officials of
the Vietnamese Communist government."
The resolution, passed to cheers from a crowd of about 200 Vietnamese
residents, also urged city officials to refrain from "initiating
engagements with or facilitating" visits by Vietnamese Communists.
Garden Grove and the neighboring city of Westminster are home to some
90,000 residents of Vietnamese descent -- the largest Vietnamese
population outside Vietnam. Many are
political refugees and visits by visiting Vietnamese government
delegations are frequently met with large protests and demonstrations.

Understandably, the Vietnamese government is a wee bit hurt by this decision.

Ha Noi, May 13 (VNA) - Viet Nam has protested against a
recent resolution by the Garden Grove City Council in the State of
California, which outlaws visits by delegations representing the
Vietnamese Government to the city.
"We protested against the Garden Grove City Council's approval of such
an irrational resolution which runs counter to the growing relationship
between the two countries and to the US federal constitution as well,"
Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Dung said on Thursday.

Bitch and moan. Bitch and moan. That's all communists ever do. Maybe
you can call on the ghost of Ho Chi Minh to help you wheedle your way
out of this one, eh, boys?
