Children who are too young to pop their own ears shouldn't be taken on airplanes. It causes pain to the children and their crying annoys other passengers.

This was original back in 1991 when Demi Moore did it on the cover of Vanity Fair. Still kind of interesting when Britney Spears did it on the cover of Bazaar magazine in 2006. Now, it's a little old.

A call to the police about a guy bleeding somewhere isn't particularly strange is it? It seems like the kind of phone calls police get everyday. The strange call was the first one, in which the caller said he killed someone but gave no further information. That phone call led nowhere.

How is this true? The strange call (the first one) didn't mention a crime scene at all. The second call, from a passerby, which wasn't particularly strange, is the one that lead police to the bleeding man, and then the note, and the woman.

Or a better question - why bother? What's the incentive for the GOP to take the lead when the Democrats and Obama seem unwilling or unable to change much of what Bush created?

Despite control of both houses and the White House, Democrats seem unable to advance their agenda. No wonder liberals are frustrated.

I found 20,000 yen on a train platform once. Took it to the police. Got it back 6 months later. Quick and easy process.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. It's not a Japanese social issue until Triumph makes a bra out of it.

It's difficult to feel sorry for a Japanese national being denied access in a foreign country because she doesn't have an ID, when every foreigner in Japan is required by law to constantly carry an ID.
