Lots of hotair from the puppetmaster, but this is the one that got me.

‘‘Politicians cannot conduct politics if they are not prepared to work as both a human being and Japanese,’’ Ozawa said.

I'm having fun parsing that one in my head.

It's like when Spinal Tap all contracted herpes at the same time (see the DVD extras).

Rock 'n' roll, eh? What a life!

The alcoholic who becomes the frequent toilet user.

Not as bad as the alcoholic who chooses NOT to use the toilet - all that fuss and bother.

Well, Altria will be unhappy about this. ;)

On the other hand, my elderly doctor (actually an internal medicine specialist) will be happy. His office is covered in anti-smoking literature...and images...ever since I started visiting him in the 1990s.

I don't drink butter and cheese like fat westerners.

Drink…

Good news. Much welcomed.

Because? It's just a gesture.

You've got to back it up with threats of withdrawing any funding or monies sent to the regime. Otherwise, nothing will happen and it will be business as usual.

Get someone in authority quickly to nab him.

No ransom thanks. Being involved in his apprehension and bringing some peace of mind to the victim's family would be reward enough.

Ransom? Are you all bounty hunters now? Think about what percentage of the total is actually the Hawker family's contribution.
