I was happier without the local Asian content. If I want that, I'll watch NHK or one of the other local networks.

Anyone else except me hate the ridiculous CNN "International" we are forced to watch here? So many useless shows, from yachting to golf. I miss the 'real' CNN broadcasts from the mother ship in Atlanta.

It would be lovely if Foxnews got back on SkyPerfect.

‘‘I expected the president to commit himself to apologizing to ‘hibakusha’ by visiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki,’’

This is the key to understanding the situation. Visiting is not for the purpose of understanding, or learning about the bombings. Just apologizing. No wonder Obama won'T go. I wouldnt either. No sense in…

Shu Samurai;

There were other options to the A-bombs, but none of them were very nice.

1/ Blockade of Japan. Result- civilians starve to death by the thousand, Imperial Japanese Army takes the available food for itself.

2/ Invasion of Japan. Result- civilian deaths in the millions, the entire nation…

Add these "pirates" to the list of people who need a good killing.

I would like to see more merchant ships in the area be armed, or have armed guards on board. Perhaps the occasional ship sailing with a concealed party of Marines would be enough to make the pirates…

I dont see a problem. There is no reason for 11-13 year old children to be hugging and displaying affection to the "girlfriends" or "boyfriends" while at school. It is good for them to learn a little self restraint and some good manners, as such behavior wouldnt be accepted in…

I think Tsvingali (sp) from Zimbabwe would have been a better choice. He literally risked his life for freedom and democracy.

It is patently obvious that the Nobel just wanted to give Bush a shot in the nuts again......

He got it because a group of left leaning Euro-snobs felt like giving it to him. Maybe a bit of subtle pressure perhaps? Hell, even Time Magazine was lampooning the Nobel folks' selection of BO.

The fact that he is continuing the vast majority of the Bush administration's foreign policies…

Joke. Basically, this is the third time the Prize has been awarded as a kick in the nuts for George Bush. Obama hasnt done anything, hasnt been at risk of danger or death (like Tsvangili (sp) from Rhodesia). All he has done is blow hot air.

As long as the whales being hunted aren't in danger of extinction, and not being hunted in a nation's territorial waters, who cares? They are a great renewable resouce, and chock full of vitamins too!
