    Does Aso think he's a 1930s mob boss?

    Nah, this is a still from 'Raiders of the lost ark'. When he removes his leather glove he has a disfigured hand where he picked up a very hot amulet.

    Japan could increase their customers by producing contracts with foreign industry to transfer Japanese technology which will allow Japan to increase their fund and start new technology.

    they do look like 2 crooks from an Indy movie. Aso needs to perfect his "talking out the side of his mouth"

    Aso: In Japan we got AKB48. What do you guys have in Iran?

    Khalili: We got centrifuges.

    Our man Taro is stylin' and profilin'!

    It's good to see a J-politician with a modicum of style and fashion. I'm tired of seeing an endless lineup of drab poorly groomed grinches .

    I wonder if these guys understand how close they are to the border with N. Korea, with S.Korean and U.S. troops keeping the N. Koreans from overrunning the place.
