Bizarre question really, as he isn't even the "leader" of the USA yet. Okay give us a few more hours till the inauguration and we'll see. Then I think we should wait until a few years pass and he's hopefully dealt the economy, the environment and everything else that is wrong with the world.

I think these recent "converts" are people who think the Japanese government has failed them. After years of having it easy they don't know how to look after themselves and so they turn to the people who they think will look after them. Once the economy improves again however these people will vanish like the morning mist.

I've been wondering about these doughnuts for ages, if they were any good or not. Finally my wife went to Crispy Kreme the other other and got some (I'm not waiting in line for more than 2 minutes for a doughnut). Anyway, she brings them home and we eat them ... and now I'm still wondering why people line up for them.

I actually quite like the guy, even though he does come out with a few of those well-scripted responses to certain comments and questions when he appears on tv. Anyway, I hope he does find someone nice and not end up divorced one or two years later like so many others.

Have a look at that makeup on her face, you'd need a trowel to put it on it's so thick. I'm not saying that to be mean, but some women "age well" due to all the makeup they use.

"Her ambulance visited 37 hospitals before a vacant emergency bed was found".
And then she was told there wasn't a suitable doctor available to treat her injuries. So back into the ambulance...
