I see some nice places on some of NHK's programs once in a while which are nice places to visit from time to time, but not to live.

Japan's Inaka really sucks. No one, including the Japanese want to live there. They are giving land away free in some places…

Japanese beer is fine with me, but I wonder what drinks they mean when they say "healthier drinks", I hope they are not saying "shochu" is healthier than beer or wine.

So far as the cushion-throwing goes they should announce at the beginning of the match and post signs that those throwing cushions could be subject to arrest.

Then arrest one or two in public, in front of everyone and on TV and I guarantee the cushion throwing will stop in…

I hope they prosecute this little shite to the full extent of the law.

90% of us could claim Pervasive Development Disorder but that does not excuse us from willfully, "with malice aforethought" killing another person.

Put him away for life without chance of parole.

This one's a big time right-winger.

They're easy to elect but easily booted out.

I'd give this Aso less than a year.

Smart money says he should be gone by the start of Golden Week 2009.

Great article by James Hardy.

Does Sumo have a policy for testing for HGH?

That is surely more important than banning a guy for smoking a little weed.

Kitanoumi's resignation is a shame. A sad end to a glorious and record-setting career.

But, he had to go.

All of these clowns caused some huge "MEIWAKU" and showed little or no "HANSEI". Especially Kitanoumi. All you guys living in Japan know how important those two things are. Everyone causes…

It is just a phone, but SONY has been left in the dust these days by Apple and other OEM's who have been giving people what they want.
