Ishihara is such an idiot. It's gotten to the point where I constantly see the general public shaking their heads whenever he says anything. The Japanese public is already angry with him for the failed Shin Ginko project. Now they are angry with him for this "pet project" of his.…

It was a beautiful thing to see all of the "Cariocas" celebrating in Rio. Congrats to them! They carry the whole "weight of a proud continent on their shoulders" as was stated by an announcer on the television.
