  Could someone close by take the responsibility of keeping an eye on this Dad? He shouldn't be so remorseful as to head off the Aoki-ga-hara and top himself. This too shall pass.

  Speaking of eating...Maybe it's time to have the Japanese Government legislate table manners.

  Time to review the licensing of people in charge of ships and boats.

  I read some of the analysis of this accident, and I really wonder about passing Aegis technology to people who grew up on video games. None of it is real, and a "reset" restores everyone to their previous positions. Could it be the dopey watch guards on the Otago were…

  I'm telling y'all, I have NEVER seen Americans this bitter, uptight and grouchy (even more than I am on an average day in Tokyo, and that's saying something,) and I blame it on the divisiveness with which the Cheney-Bush Administration has blessed America. I also think loss of sovereign power…

  I would like the IMF, the US-SEC and Interpol to monitor Japan's intended Sovereign Wealth Fund. It's to be HQ'd in the LDP's own offices. Sovereign (national) Weatlh Fund my foot! It's the LDPSWF......more cash in envelopes in the back rooms! Japan needs M O R E transparency, not less!

  The truck was an Isuzu. Look for hundreds of plain clothes officers wearing green armbands and carrying stacks of flattened cardboard boxes raidng Fuji Heavy Industries' offices sometime soon, all filmed from a circling helicopter. (Couldn't some of these box-carriers be redeployed to "prevention" detail, instead of mop up?)

  Great, relying on the memories of eye-witness about a heated incident a few months ago. The worst kind of evidence. Talk about the blind leading the blind. Just find someone they don't like, beat a confession out of him, and throw him in jail. "The fleet, now returning to Japan,…

  Dango, ura-gane and tobashi accounting. Corruption, fine-tuned to a tee. Welcome to doing business in Japan. They forgot the bribing, the sokaya, and to involve an LDP member....just to round things out. (Or maybe we just haven't heard about these yet?)
