Yep. Move out and let China figure out what to do. Why stay somewhere that you're not wanted? If the economy on Okinawa does suffer at least they won't have to put up with all that noise and disruption any more. Japan always considered Okinawa a backwater anyway. May as…

Who cares? She's a washed up publicity hound. She's not going to get anywhere with the Republicans. She's kryptonite.

Somehow this "reassurace" doesn't help in the least. Maybe I'm just cynical about pronouncements from government officials?

Cleo, you eat fish at all? I thought you were a vegeterian?

The price of any fish that can't be "farmed" is going to go up. Finding toro at a decent price is…
