Barack Obama has not even been sworn in yet as the 44th President of the United States but groups online are calling for his impeachment.
On Facebook, an “Impeach Barack Obama” group has attracted more than 700 members and a lively debate about the Democrat’s election victory.
Another Facebook group of the same name has 160 members and urges others to join because “we might as well get a head start on the impeachment of Obama.”

“There are a lot of Americans out there that do not fully understand the concept of Socialism or Communism which is why they’ve elected Obama as president,” it says.
Yet another Facebook group, “Impeach Barack Hussein Obama,” has 160 members.
It says that Obama “has given his support for various programs such as the assault weapons ban, healthcare, and various schemes for wealth distribution.”
“What are we going to do about it? IMPEACH HIM!” it says.
Obama still has some way to go, however, to equal the number of “Impeach George Bush” groups on Facebook, which lists at least 95 such groups.(AFP)
第四十四屆美國總統當選人巴拉克.歐巴馬尚未宣誓就職,網路上就已經有團體發起彈劾他的行動了。
Facebook上一個名為「彈劾巴拉克.歐巴馬」的群組,已吸引了七百多名成員加入,他們熱烈討論這次民主黨的勝選。
Facebook上另一個名稱相同的群組,則募集了一百六十名成員,他們竭力號召他人加入,因為「不如讓我們率先發聲,彈劾歐巴馬」。
該團體說:「很多美國人就是搞不清楚社會主義或共產主義的基本概念,才會把票投給歐巴馬。」
Facebook上還有另一個名為「彈劾巴拉克.胡笙.歐巴馬」的群組,有一百六十位成員。
該群組表示,歐巴馬「支持多項計畫,例如攻擊性武器禁令、健保和各種財富分配方案」。
該團體說:「我們該怎麼做?彈劾他!」
然而,想和Facebook上至少九十五個「彈劾喬治.布希」的群組數相匹敵,歐巴馬還有努力的空間。

The strongest earthquake to hit Taiwan in 25 years killed at least 16 people and damaged dozens of buildings, but the destruction was largely contained thanks to decades of preparedness work. Taiwan sits on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of intense seismic activity along the Pacific Rim, and — much like neighboring Japan — has a long history of catastrophic quakes. How does April 3 compare with other recent quakes? The April 3 earthquake, which measured 7.4 on the moment magnitude scale, was felt across Taiwan. It was the most severe since a 7.6 magnitude quake in 1999 killed
A: Artificial intelligence technology has been causing controversy lately: a student was caught cheating with AI to win the grand prize in an art contest. B: That’s so absurd. Does this mean that AI paints better than humans? A: Maybe. Luckily, the student was later disqualified. B: And more absurdly, it’s becoming more and more popular to use AI technology to “resurrect” people. A: Yeah, some netizens even posted videos featuring the late singer CoCo Lee, who was “resurrected” by them with AI software. A: 人工智慧的爭議不斷,有學生違規使用AI參加美術展,甚至贏得首獎。 B: 真誇張,這是不是代表AI比人類還強大? A: 或許吧,幸好得獎資格被取消。 B: 還有更誇張的︰讓死者重現的「AI復活」技術越來越熱門。 A: 對啊,還有網友製作已故歌后李玟「復活」的影片呢! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張聖恩)
Around the time of the Dragon Boat Festival in June, the streets of Taiwan are filled with the delightful aroma of zongzi, a traditional snack made of sticky rice wrapped in leaves. The leaves are folded into a cone and then filled with sticky rice and other ingredients such as braised pork belly, peanuts and salted duck egg yolks. The filled leaves are then tightly tied with kitchen twine and ready for cooking. 每到六月端午時節,街頭巷尾就會飄出粽子的香氣。粽子是將糯米包進粽葉的傳統美食,先將粽葉折成圓錐狀塞入糯米,以及紅燒肉、花生、鹹鴨蛋黃等配料,用棉線綁緊後即可烹煮。 Dragon Boat Festival (n. phr.) 端午節 aroma
It’s another school day with the same ritual. You wake up to your smartphone’s alarm, scroll through messages during your commute, and listen to your favorite playlist with your wireless earbuds between classes. These devices, integrated smoothly into your daily routine, certainly make life more convenient. However, where do these devices end up after you replace them? In fact, the issue of electronic waste is a growing global concern. According to the United Nations, in 2019 alone, we generated an astonishing 53.6 million tons of e-waste—an average of 7.3kg per person. Projections hint at the figure soaring to 110
