Radical Muslims are causing chaos throught the West, be afraid, be very afraid.

Strangely, the American military and security forces were not afraid enough to notice the nutcase extremist in their own army. When you are looking for imaginary threats (like Dick Cheney/Morris) it gets much harder to see the…

The continued lack of background information on Mayumi Heene seems a bit odd. She appears to be a Japanese citizen with no apparent hometown, family, or history in Japan other than being a "Japanese citizen". Maybe it is just that all that is not relevant to the case, or maybe…

You guys have been there for eight years and now you start worrying about dithering. Looks like the dithering started long ago. You've had eight years to figure out what you are doing in Afghanistan and still have no clue.

The concept of debt deflation is not difficult to grasp if you take the time. Any junior high school student could get it if it was explained to them. Unfortunately, the leaders of the USA, like the leaders of Japan before them, either don't get it, or worse, they do.…

On the bright side it should make for a safe weekend for bicycles and reduce the number of bicycle kidnapings here in Tokyo for a couple of days.

Geithner has his chickens and eggs mixed up. The imbalances didn't cause the recession, they are the effect of the underlying problem. The imbalances exist because the USA needs the rest of the world to have money to lend to them and subsidize their economy. The idea that Americans had…

knackerz is right, you can't forget what you never knew. For many people Japanese history seems to stop at the Meiji Restoration and The Last Samurai.

Myself, I think Japanese commercials are often creative and funny, and Japanese shows are (obviously) not. And I know a Japanese TV producer who has the same opinion.

“A lot of folks are angry because they feel this could have been prevented,”

Of course it should have been. But then why would you expect the terror-industrial complex to waste their time on an insane Islamic extremist army psychologist. No money in that. They are too busy fingerprinting and…

I'm surprised how many people seem to take this case at face value and are surprised and ticked off by the suspended sentence. My feeling is that from the start this has all just been a weird police/yakuza kabuki dance that got out of hand, and Sakai got stuck in…
