Well, it is a sign of the times. A stock company university goes bust. Mismanagement is no doubt the problem. Stock companies do not know how to run universities. They do not even know how to run themselves these days.

The Republicans are really desperate. Unfortunately, Obama is not a Socialist. It would be nice if he were. Given the temper of the times, people might like Obama more if they thought he was a Socialist.

The US is the only major industrial country without universal health care of some…

Best bike parts are now Shimano. Campy has come back but not as great.

Hey, what this guy should have done is hire those two teenage girls whom the cops let go for snatching a woman's purse on their motorbike. If you are cute you can get away with anything.

I was referring to homegrown Islamic violence and, specifically, to attacks on military recruiters. Islamic violence outside the US is well-known, the slaughter of thousands of leftists by Jihadists in Indonesia being one example out of many. Military recruiters have been subject to protests but I do not recall a…

So far we have had one incident where recruiters were physically assaulted, and killed. The US has a sorry history of racist killings and assaults, including those by cops. The same goes with a history of harassment, assault and murder perpetrated against the abortion clinics and personnel. We shall see…

The best: JAL, ANA, Air France.

The Worst. United Airlines, United Airlines and United Airlines.

I have to fly these people unfortunately when I must be in North America. Whether in the air or on the ground UA staff are not only inefficient and rude but go out of their…

I happen to take seriously what creatures like James von Brunn say. He is the closet I've seen to a pure Nazi pagan. There were two Nazi factions, the Christians and the pagans. The latter were nostalgic about the Teutonic pre-Christian world. Hitler was a Christian, born Catholic, never apostated…

This actually a promotion of Japanese male sexual fantasies by the Foreign Ministry. We have school girl rape fantasy figure and the Lolita child pornography fantasy figure. Maybe they'll throw in a maid and sushi-cover nude. You really have to wonder about the mental age of the people organizing all…

This Sukan Gendai article is among other things outdated. There is a recession on, companies are canceling promised jobs to new graduates and lots of people are being tossed out of work. Young people are turning to the Communist Party. I must ask when was this piece of sensationalistic weekly…
