I gotta agree. At first, I really didn't like natto at all. But after having tried it several times, I really got to like it. It tastes great with rice and some chopped green onions. It also goes down much lighter than those oily greasy burgers they have at McDonald's…

How does Alaska’s proximity to Russia provide evidence of your foreign policy experience?

Well, it certainly does because our ... our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia ... We have trade missions back and forth. We…

Great job Rays! How much does anyone want to bet that the World Series will include a Japanese player on each team? In fact, I bet that there will be a Japanese player on the World Series champion team (which would make it the fourth year in a row that…

Wow! I have a newfound respect for Kuroda. He not only pitched a brilliant game and served as stopper for his team, he earned the respect of his teammates by signalling to them that he "has their back". After being hit by pitches thrown by Philly pitchers, with no retalitation…

Being a Rays fan, I was really disappointed in the outcome. But, I must confess, DiceK did earn his dough and won when it counted. He silenced their bats and even had a nohitter going into the seventh inning. Hats off to him and the RedSox. But it's not over…

Hotbox08- You are incorrect, japan is by far the worst culprit. open your eyes buddy!

I don't deny that Japan does this. Yet, you can't deny the fact that it occurs all around the world. To state that only one country does it is borderline racism at its best.

That world out there you are referring to does the same like Japan. Open any newspaper around the world and you will see the media always reports about their players overseas. Totally normal.

I totally agree with you roomtemperature.

Amazing! Kuroda did a nice job and looks like a pattern is building. The Dodgers have two Japanese players on their team, the Phillies (who are leading 2-1 in their series) have two Japanese players (albeit bench players), Boston has Matsuzaka and Okajima, and Tampa Bay has Akinok. Looks like…

And the beat goes on ... tainted gyoza in China, White Rabbit chocolates in California and Connecticut, tainted Chinese-made milk products in Europe, and now Chinese-made snacks. Looks like China is thinking globally and acting globally.
