  This headline really takes the cake.

  Given that they all worked at the company, you could also say that the man was stabbed by his own boss could you not?

  Can't quite see where the wife is involved other that coming to the door when they were struggling....

  Japan’s Vice Finance Minister Fumihiko Igarashi said cutting car taxes would involve a reduction in government revenue and be difficult to do “because there is no other form of tax income to make up for it,”

  Right, so they can't actually find a way to work for efficiently. Are we supposed to believe that they are already working at peak efficiency? Please.

  It's amazing that the press expect to be updated by "the top dog" on a daily basis. Surely he's got more important things to be doing.

  The thing that gets me with all of this, elections cost a lot of money. With all of this calling for resignation and running new elections etc, where is this money coming from? Surely the current batch of politicians can see that Japan needs that money elsewhere for now?

  “I have been talking to Japan and they say, ‘What do you need? What kind of project are you able to do?’” Rosero said. “The Japanese come to make business and the States come to explain.”

  So how is this not buying votes?

  hmmmm I wonder how this is going to affect the "spend 1050 yen and get a pack of eggs for 1 yen" deal at some places.. I haven't paid more than 1 yen for a pack of eggs for years.

  Probably about as much as they had tried to stop people using phones whilst driving.... zero change after about a month of a little effort
