This is the female equivalent of oyaji-gari. Muggings of old men has been going around for quite some time already.

He was probably concentrating on his cell phone. Yesterday I saw a girl on the street trip and fall flat on her face. She got back on her feet and continued walking, never taking her eyes off the phone.

I'm never going to buy one, and I'm not p!ssed off, just extremely depressed to see how Japanese have become so addicted to these stupid mobile devices they can't board the train or walk down the street without waving them in my face.

I'll be impressed by Jero when he can go on a TV quiz program and name at least five prefectures in Japan that don't have a seacoast.

Now? I've been watching people kill each other in the Middle East since the BBC resumed broadcasting in 1946. Glad they have football matches on satellite now -- pass the beer!

But Sir: if gaining the "attention of the world" were so important, how come after decades it hasn't helped the Palestinian cause one twit? If anything, their situation seems to be getting worse. So even if you choose to accord yourself with a yee-haa victory, it's just a Pyrrhic victory. The moral of the story being, outside of the Muslim world, shock, indignation and outrage have a shelf life of 72 hours max, and then it's time to watch football.

Isn't that nice. Well, I suppose there were also some Arabs who wanted to make peace with Israel. Unfortunately I can't show you any links because the Arabs who expressed this viewpoint are either dead or in prison.

Okay then, what's the difference between Iranian-funded North Korean missiles and other munitions being smuggled in overland via the Sinai desert, and smuggled in by sea?

I think Dubya has a deep-seated phobia against being forgotten and occasionally feels the need to venture off his ranch and make an arse of himself again.

You can't very well blame politicians for a disease; they are a disease.

We really need to think outside the box for a change. I'm for Maruti Tsurunen. What this country needs is a blue-eyed Finn in the PM office. He'll redecorate the place with Scandinavian furniture and serve pickled herring at state dinners.
Posted in: Calls for Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama to resign are mounting among lawmakers in his own Democratic Party of Japan as well as opposition parties. Should he resign and if so, who do you think would do a good job as prime minister?

Heeeeee....I didn't realize Takarajima was still in the magazine business, thought they folded back around the mid-1990s. I often see their "mooks" in bookstores but this magazine completely escaped notice.

Israeli ships attack aid flotilla, 2 dead
The al-Jazeera broadcast ended with a voice shouting in Hebrew, "Everybody shut up!"

Sabiwabi, your reports of mass civilian casualties in the flotilla appear to be premature -- even the Arab media like al-Jazeera hasn't reported this.

I'll be more convinced if you can produce something that isn't packaged as incitement or propaganda.

Hmmmm. And if Israeli doesn't block this "humanitarian" flotilla, I wonder how many additional rockets, mortar rounds, grenades and AK-47s will be added to Hamas' arsenal.

I wonder if the whole thing wasn't arranged by Kyung Lah of CNN to advance her TV career. The torpedo could have been fired from Ted Turner's yacht.

It is most distasteful to be put in the position of defending Little Kim, but some might argue he has some justification -- it is an open secret that the US military maintains an arsenal of tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea. They have been there since around the time of the Vietnam War.
