"If you want smart, hi-tech and no unnecessary decoration, go Lasik. Glasses are so not cool."

No risk of any vision problems after Lasik surgery. Nope, none whatsoever. You just might have angelic vision-halos and all.

I think Palin looks just fine with the glasses. She will make a better…

Americans are starting to see through this guy.

I think so too, Sarge.

It is hard for me to accept McCain as president, but I would rather have him any day than Barack Obama.

Anyway, the Japanese people have spoken and they would rather have the McCain/Palin ticket because of…

"This can't be anything but good news."

Maybe Sarge is on to something. Get the son in power and then the U.S. and the 4 other important countries in the 6 can start negotiating seriously about permanently shutting down N. Korea`s nuclear program.

Then Japan, the sidelined 6th country, could…

**Bush to pull 8,000 U.S. troops from Iraq **

McCain will send them elsewhere.

apecnetworks: The scenario you envision in the Diet may very well come true whenever the next Lower House election is finally held. However, I do not think any DPJ victory-however it is measured-will be a true public endorsement of what the party stands for, let alone a sign of unqualified…

"He just jumped ship before he was thrown overboard."

If the prime minister can do it, then a part-time baseball manager should not be particularly big news.

"While most political reporters at the Prime Minister’s Office are young and hesitate to ask critical questions, Domen is now seen as a journalist willing to toss hardball questions."

A more accurate description of him as a Japanese would be to say he is an "oddball," and, as such, will…

"Those three, if they can coalesce the talent in the DPJ, they will be a force to be reckoned w/."

apecnetworks: Ozawa, Kan, and Hatoyama have never been a force to be reckoned with, and Koizumi adeptly demonstrated this prior to the last Lower House election. They continually flop on…

"Some critics have pointed to the sloppy nature of the steps the JSA has taken since Wakanoho’s arrest, saying that tests were hastily conducted even though **no rules have been established on doping in the sport **and the consequences of doping tests were not taken into account."

It is easy…

This is such a lame article.

Waaaahhhh! Let`s make excuses for the 4th place finish.

The Japanese team lost all 5 games played against the other semi-finalists. This fact equals a lack of overall talent on Hoshino Japan. I saw a team comprising several top-notch pitchers, but also a lot…
