Care to point that out to SBV, who thinks anyone who asks questions should be in Gitmo? But now we're agreed debate is permissible, please respond to my earlier point, namely:
In a debate about foreign policy, how does somebody who can't be trusted to know there's no such place as Czechoslovakia, or where Puitn comes from, get to be viewed as an expert on overseas affairs?

Sarge - I can't help but notice you didn't try to say anything in response to the clear evidence that McCain should not be trusted with a box of matches, never mind the nuclear codes. He gets confused about Czechoslovakia and the Iraq/Pakistan border and you're warning us about Obama's foreign policy competence?
Hell, Obama's got a sight more overseas knowledge than Palin - when did she get a passport again?

Spelling apart, you've got a point there.

You forgot to add "and bare-faced lies"
And I wouldn't ask her many questions about dinosaurs, either.

Thank you again for the benefit of your towering insight.
Try these on for size as demonstraions of McCain's mastery of foreign affairs:
McCain appeared to confuse Iraq and Afghanistan in a “Good Morning America” interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, who asked whether the "the situation in Afghanistan is precarious and urgent.” McCain responded: “I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border." The ABC posting added: “Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border. Afghanistan and Pakistan do.”
• “Somalia” for “Sudan”: As recounted in a reporter’s pool report from McCain’s Straight Talk Express bus on June 30, the senator said while discussing Darfur, a region of Sudan: "How can we bring pressure on the government of Somalia?" Senior adviser Mark Salter corrected him: “Sudan.”
A YouTube clip from last year memorializes McCain referring to Vladimir Putin of Russia — following a trip to Germany — as “President Putin of Germany.” (http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=E5ENwej0fpc)
In Phoenix earlier this month, McCain referred to Czechoslovakia, which has been divided since Jan. 1, 1993, into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. He also referred to Czechoslovakia during a debate in November and a radio show in April.
Also this spring, McCain twice appeared to mistake Sunnis and Shiites, two branches of Islam that split violently.
This debate is going to be quite a spectacle - the eloquent, persuasive voice of progress vs. the dithering, stammering blundering gaffes of a tired old man in search of yesteryear.
Come on, America - don't let us all down again.

Done and dusted, as I said a few weeks ago. Nothing but a PR stunt to make the drones think they live in a democracy. Stand by for an official visit to the US on October 25th (where he'll be given his instructions), dissolution of the Diet on Oct 29th and a national election on Nov. 9th.
An utter sham.

All a sham. Aso is the de facto PM. This is simply to give the drones the illusion that they live in a democracy.

Hmmm - pity he hasn't given much thought to Peace, the Economy and not being an all-round gimp.

"As expected, guests started calling out “So cute” when Momoka appeared"
Yep - SOP when anything small/cuddly/pink crosses line of vision. Bunch of automata.

With regard to this one:

I think it should be retitled as:

Isn't it also difficult to express emotions when you're squeaking like a five year-old?

I've never understood why Tokyo Metro believe that anybody with manners so bad as to require a brightly-coloured harangue would pay any notice to a piece of paper stuck on a wall. What kind of thought process do they envisage?
Perp: Oh, I was in a world of my own listening to my filthy foreign modern music on my incomprehensible new-fangled gadget. But that piece of paper says I should give a moment's consideration to what that permanently-scared thin woman thinks. Fair enough, off it goes.
Uranus - absolutely spot on. There is a leitmotif running through this campaign that states young people are responsible for all the ills of commuting.
Remember the one a few months ago that had a young totty putting on her make-up, which was verboten because a lipless old bat in the corner of the picture was looking at her sideways? What's the big deal about young foxtresses beautifying themselves even more? (Although I draw the line at hairspray, a quick touch-up with the lippy does my circulation the power of good).
What about a poster with said obaachan forcing ticket-purchasing passengers to stand because she's got her bag full of tins of catfood on the seat next to her? "Please do it on your own bleeding settee, reeking though it is with catsick and stale urine".
Or one with a combed-over, shiny-suited shatcho, knuckle-deep in his own sinuses, giving a forensic examination to the nicotine-brown boli his excavations recover? "Please do it any time you want a punch in the yellow-toothed mouth, you dirty sod"
Gets on my sodding nerves, this campaign. When I want nagging and lecturing about what I am doing, might do, or ever have done wrong, I will go home. I don't need it to my way to work as well.
Spend the money they wee away on this on getting some soap in the bogs. I'd much rather be on a train knowing that someone's been camping than knowing there are traces of faeces on every surface.

One of the more printable good things I noticed about Miss Mima is the fact that she's looking at the camera with a saucy glint in her eye, not staring vapidly into the middle distance with her gob open or acting like she's six years old.
