Being the eternal optimist allow me to inject some good news....

At the least "Gone are the days" of burying your head in the sand and deferring losses to future fiscal repercussions - similar to the way the big J banks did with the un-collectable loans that turning into a…

LDP should call a snap election RIGHT NOW... before the new leader has a chance to make any inroads or get any face time in front of the camera...

IMO, perfect timing while everyone is still snigering at Ozawa for putting off the inevitable for so long as well as…

Well... Windows user since 3.1 and have been using Mac for less than a year....

All I can say is WOW... I should have ignored the scaremongering from Microsoft many years ago and given Mac a try...

it's hard to ignore the plight of millions of suffering N Koreans...

Actually it's not hard at all - when you are dealing with a petulant child you sometimes have to show tough love - - time for China to ween this retarded cousin of the tit...

First - I don't know all the details BUT - - As a Photographer I can tell you that the rules in Japan are very "blurry" when it comes to personal privacy...

Frankly, all this has done is thrown egg on the face of the US and others intent on placating China's "non" stance or their retarded cousin...

It would be nice to think that China is at least a "little" embarrassed over arm twisting the US to soften their response by…

Very interesting and predictable outcome... I wonder though how difficult it would be to get a binding resolution if say Cuba were to float a 2-stage ballistic missile test over say Florida...

I presume that under those circumstances the US would not need anyone else's permission to do exactly as…

Japan will try and use this to get a permanent seat on the security council - something that will NEVER happen and never should.

Perhaps the UNSC could benefit from having some permanent members with a "pacifist" constitution...

Definition: A shotgun marriage is a marriage that is forced upon the participants usually because the bride is pregnant.

Doesn't sound like anyone was "FORCED" into marriage here... Is the dictionary or google search function broken at JT again - - or is this just a cute way to attract…

Ok... so who on earth REALLY believes that this guy has MILLIONS of yen of ILLEGAL campaign contributions dumped into his coffers for a decade or so - using intricately constructed methods of false corporations and dummy contributors - and he knew NOTHING about it ?????
