Conspiracy theories already - love it. The more likely explanation that he simply offed himself is obviously too obtuse.
By he way, where does it say that he hung himself with a rope?

Hilarious - Bush is now the most socialist president that the US has had since FDR. Seems to have forgotten that capitalism means assuming the risk, not just taking the profits. As some pundit said - people seem to have forgotten that in capitalism you need hell, not just heaven.

I dig that The Last Supper is hanging in there - does that mean I can snag a Jesus costume at Tokyu Hands?

Agree with the many comments that most pop music sucks in any country, though maybe more than average in Japan, and pop music never means that a country lacks musical talent. I like some of the older J music more, even going back to stuff like Kyu Sakamoto and Momoe Yamaguchi. Shiina Ringo is some good modern stuff, and of course Shonen Knife had some great tunes.

yabits;
Well, McCain's spokesthing couldn't answer this question on CNN earlier when asked repeatedly, but I'm sure that won't dissuade some here.

the support he needed from women voters?
Yep- support from the socially conservatives women who probably would've voted Republican anyway. If anything thinks that a rabid anti-abortionist (sorry, pro-lifer) will lure away the Hilary Dems has bee inhaling the fumes from McCain's talking points too often.

I'd mention the fact that I have my own enclosed office, with an actual door for privacy, bigger than some Japanese hotel rooms I've stayed at, and I can even open the window, but that would make it very obvious that I don't work in Japan.
