To add to taikan's comment, Obama has also repeatedly questioned the need to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 at the expense of not funneling enough resources to the country that DID have something to do with 9/11 in Afghanistan.

She is ready and able to be our next president

It's people like you that will get McCain and Palin into the White House, and the rest of the world will watch as the last superpower crumbles under it's own failures.

It also surprises me how the fact John McCain was a POW for 5 years somehow equates to him leading the country into some sort of military "victory" in Iraq.

Fact of the matter is - what was she doing wandering around at 4.30 in the morning anyway?!

Reading this post reminds me of something that I have always used to describe Japan. It is a land of extremes.

Absolutely agree with you. After living here for a month or so, I started calling it the Land of Contradictions - for exactly the same reasons you've listed.

Another solution is the creation of fully automatic lines.

You mean like the Oedo line?

@Pukey2

The questions tend to be the same world over. The 10 minute segments that interviewers have are also done world over - they're called press junkets and most of the time the stars have to sit through and do a good number of them a day, sometimes up to 60-80 of them in one sitting.

Where's the iPhone?!?!?!

Probably told to hold on announcing it until Steve Jobs delivers his Keynote address on the 9th June. There's expectation that he'll announce the release in Korea and Japan at the keynote, as well as announcing that the iPhone will finally be 3G capable, which it would need to be to be competitive in the Asian market....
