Interesting how everyone is ganging up on Aso-san now. HELLO JAPAN? You need to stop tearing down anyone who stands 1 cm above the herd, you know? What the hell do you get from destroying the current PM -- you know there's no one better waiting in the wings. Japan…

Interesting aside: Sanyo was started by Panasonic founder Konosuke Matsushita's son in law. So they are already kind of connected.

Please, stop wasting money building roads to nowhere. Near my house there's a road the city started to build...then when it was half complete, stopped. WTF??

My mother once saw him pitching (Nomo) in San Diego and shouted the only Japanese she knew, "Nomo, ii kao shite" (which she got from my Japanese kids), and he looked at her so funny. He's a really cool guy.

My sister, who was a McCain supporter, told me she's going on family assistance as soon as she can because Obama will raise the tax rate to 100%. Uh, yeah.

Might have been better to say a cheerful and strong nation, to avoid the "me love you long time" Asian thing. Just sayin'.

If you're a Street Fighter the Movie fan, she was the girl who sang the theme song. I once rode my bicycle to 20+ shops looking for that single, and finally found it. Ah, memories...

Um, I came to Japan and now I have a business that does $6 million or more in sales. I'd say this should be taken with a grain of salt.

Jealous, Kameleon? Give the guy a break. He's a stranger in a strange land and I hope he keeps kicking butt. He seems to me to have real humility about his grandmother, and obviously got a lot of influence from her. Go, Jero.
