Thanks, Sarge, you are a walking encyclopedia. I am in Japan since the rule of Hashimoto - who dressed like Elvis Presley.

Same old photo (with a big emphasis on the word OLD). I didn't realize until now that there was a minister who's specific role was to deal with the N Korean kidnappings (!). But of all the people Fukuda could choose, why on earth did he choose the woman who speaks even quieter and slower than the Empress? The N Koreans are going to shoot you down if you can shout back.

Old? To me they look like schoolboys lined in front of their teacher for disciplinizing, I think.

just one J bird and for good reason. the rest of the dinosaurs will continue the rape of Japan regardless.

on closer inspection, it seems 2 j birds made the cut, or 2 lame ducks amidst a host vampires and leeches.

I defy any reader to tell me what a single one of these soulless drudges stands for, other than spouting meaningless generalities when pressed for a statement.

They stand for the status quo.

they stand for nothing other than "look at me ma!"

except they are such a bunch of doddering old farts that sadly their mothers shuffled off this mortal coil many moons ago and can't share in the embarrassment most will feel looking at this photo

All I see is a bunch of tools.

The new Defense Minister should be a hoot, since he "plays guitar and keyboards with his LDP colleagues in a band called Gi!nz."
