Good one, Sushi. This shocked me the most -- that for once, nagative ads didn't seem to be as effective. Perhaps if McCain had showed less reserve and reffered to Obama using his middle name, as McCain's advisors apparently recommended, it would have been a different story. Obama didn't stoop…

Why is the Japanese media so obsessed with the racial angle of this election ?

A cutter-knife was found

As opposed to the other kind? Duh. The proper term is "utility knife" or "razor knife" or "crafts knife."

Wiki:

*A utility knife (also called a box cutter, a boxcutter, a razor blade knife, a carpet knife, a stanley knife or a stationery knife) is…
