Did the aboriginal guy from Alaska really call himself an "eskimo?
It is a racist term equivalent to the "n" word.

No! Before Kan raises taxes he needs to slash government spending across the board. The idiotic construction projects around here do nothing but create traffic jams, cut into my productivity and make me burn more fuel.

Danny Ayalon did not say "flotilla have connections to international terrorist organizations."
He said they were "investigated." They were investigated by Turkish officials and given body scans before they left.

Wow, only 1000. That really shows how well equipped, and well trained they are. I bet in the same 5 years any cohort of young men (and woman) of equal size has about the same or higher rate of death.

The most interesting fact that has come out of recent research into deleterious cell phone use is that in 75% of the studies funded by industry no adverse effects have been linked to cell phones but 75% of independently financed studies have found that cell phones pose a danger.

I assume there is a good DS emulator that can be downloaded so the games can be played on a PC. Nintendo could probably drive ipod sales down to zero if they really wanted to.

Terribly sad event. You would be surprised how many kids get choked by the draw strings on their hoods and by cords on blinds.

I don't know if it is a fake but somebody sure worked on it and not too skillfully. I could have done that in 5 minutes in photoshop for free and it would have looked better.
On closer examination; it is a fake; see the line traversing across the top. The background is a painting.

Did she get paid again? There is a lawsuit against the Tea Party over her payment for her last speech?
Watching the republican party doubling down on this loser is like watching an alcoholic ordering a drink; sad but nothing can be done until they hit rock bottom.

"Scooters are part of growing up for children in the United States, Britain, Australia and other countries. But they are not yet a common sight in Japan." That is so wrong it is funny!

Canada also strongly opposed a trade ban.
Japan supports placing Atlantic bluefin tuna under Appendix 2 of CITES not Appendix 1 as proposed. The EU supports Appendix 1 BUT the EU is backing exemptions for "traditional fishers." The EU will not define what "traditional fishers" are but you can assume the EU will continue to turn a blind eye to illegal fishing and quota busting.

Japan strongly supports strict limited quotas on Atlantic bluefin tuna but not an outright ban on all trade. Fishery experts will continue to monitor Atlantic bluefin tuna population levels by fishing for them. Japan wants the ability to import the research catch. And a certain number of Atlantic bluefin tuna will be bycatch that can be exported to Japan if there is no ban on trade. Also an outright ban on the species would seem to apply to any farmed Atlantic bluefin tuna as well.

The next time one of the miniskirt police gets fondled on a train I hope she gets a clue. Yeah, I know if I walk around certain parts of many cities with money hanging out of my pocket and I get robbed it is not "my fault" but the criminal's fault but in my opinion the miniskirt police girl that got touched on the train last year dug her own grave and the graves of thousands of woman in Japan.
