According to skipthesong

"Senator Obama now has the third worst record for missing votes in the US Senate. He has missed 197 votes or 37.4%. He is only surpassed by Republican Senator John McCain (in second place), missing 297 votes or 56.4%"

All this analysis on Obama and yet McCain…

Gouchy,

Honda is not a dumb company investing millions into this technology. Hydrogen has been touted for a while now as being a viable future technology. Your comments seem to buck this trend and perhaps reveals your vested interests in other undisclosed energy technologies. I am all for truth and…

Every time I am asked for money to donate for some worthy cause I think of something someone or something objectionable associated with that cause. Then I take the moral high ground and refuse to donate.

I am glad to see JT supporting such an approach.

Well when I arrived in Japan the last thing I wanted was to be around the whiny women I went to uni with. Not all women are whiny - just the ones I hung around with at school. Lesson learned, I found J-women more interesting to be around.

I too saw Becky on TV and it was quite obvious that if she spoke English it was edited out. Anyway, I thought she was cute and charming.

As for wanting to "shoot" gaigin parents who do not raise their kids to be bilingual -- take a pill. Aside from…

Mmmmm so would that mean that Japan is willing to own up to its wartime past? Didn't think so. Insulting one's neighbour in order to score political points is short-sighted at best.

China has many problems, not only Tibet, and standing back going tut-tut-tut is not going to help. Of…

"It can do so by stop expecting America and Americans to deal with all "their" problems!"

Yeah, it is not as if America and Americans have a sense of destiny that compels them to dominate where ever they go.

Anyway, don't worry ol'possum Bush's folly in Iraq and other foolishness…

rjd jr,

I thought she was older given all the crap she has had to go through (enough for several life-times) and still going strong at 30 - she has earned my respect - I couldn't stand her when she first emerged in the mid 90s.

redacted, April Fools Day was on April 1st. Nice try, but a bit dumb. Or are you just twisted up over the irony of Bush's words - better than the Daily Show I think.
