I think it's a safe bet that the dependents on-base would LOVE to take over those positions currently held by Japanese, rather than bagging groceries at the commissary.

It's also worth mentioning that, at least for the last few years, the bases have been WAY over their allotment of Japanese…

The voices in my head are telling me to get ready for another day of reflection.

No voices in my head, but I've been hearing rumors all day. Can't wait.

Assuming this guy is guilty (fairly safe bet at this point), I really hope they give him the hammer.

Also known as a "smear". Apparently they've been taking notes from Obama and Hilary. The question is, what will they do about it if they do take office? Based on what I mentioned above, I doubt even they could say for sure.

Seriously. It's clear that the DPJ's only goal here is to fight every LDP policy they can. Are they for or against the US bases here? Their stance on Article 9 indicates one thing, but the above suggests the complete opposite. All that's left to infer is that they don't…

Nigelboy, can you provide a link? I'm not exactly fluent, but I'd like to take a look at the original article and see if I can make more sense of this.

This is news why?

It's not. It's a half-assed attempt at gathering ammunition in support of reducing the amount they spend to support the US military presence here.

It's interesting how they publish this report as if it were a surprise, when those golf courses and virtually every other structure…

Yeah, glad to see that resize bug taken care of. I'm kinda curious what the fix was.

@Yongfook I'm getting 1-3 javascript errors on every page load--I think they're coming from the Google AdSense scripts. I'm running XP SP2 and only see the errors in IE6--Firefox and IE7 work fine.…
