    Productive use should be made of farm and other land that is now idle

    This 'other' part bothers me. Are they going to use former chemical weapons factory sites to grow food? And I don't see a lot of 'idle' land around. It's all under concrete!!

    He has no legacy. He has started two wars, run the economy into the most disastrous condition in 70 years, and turned the rest of the world against the US. Fifty years from now, American elementary school children will learn about the best and worst presidents.... and George W. Bush…

    Even the Republicans are amazed at what he has done.... ABC News is reporting that

    Limbaugh called the choice of Clinton "a brilliant stroke by Obama."

    Obama's advisors may be strong and opinionated, but they have to remember - he's the Commander in Chief.

    When I was a child, the amusement park in Santa Claus, Indiana was called Santa Claus Land. It's a wonderful little town with very little to do other than the amusement park and the holiday theme. Little towns like this have to do something to survive.... and these towns have…

    They should be extradited to the U.S., be put on a very high-profile trial, and show the Japanese people how justice works. If a foreigner in Japan commits a crime, all foreigners are criminals. Let the Japanese see what it's like when the shoe is on the other foot.

    As long as it's only a resolution, it has no teeth. Do you really think Japan will turn around and say, "We're so sorry. Here's a wad of money"? This will also fall on deaf and dumb politicians' ears.

    I saw a similar story about this. The problem with Fukuoka is that on the weekends there are very few places to exchange money. The cruise operators forgot to tell the passengers that they couldn't use their home money, so when they went to the department stores to buy all…
