Cracks are beginning to form in the hull of the Good Ship Aso. When the press turns against politicians here it gets interesting. Wonder when the rats will begin to jump of? This could be a slow sink though, at least until the Lower House is dissolved and an election called.

Oh ok, then I would really feel excited and jump up and down. Screaming to the top of my voice, "Thank you Zeus! You showed me great favor again!"

Ah, I think someone is really reaching with this name, not to mention unoriginal - the "Samurai Blue" from the 2006 Football World Cup. I guess they ran out of ideas after the first round of drinks in the bar where they held the meeting to find a nick-name.

Young people have a hard time here. They either flip out and do the cutting because of the pressure parents and schools put on them, or they get cut up by a nutter. Sad.

Dont have to worry about it, I'm not a citizen. But hypothetically to answer, it is a duty to serve when called and go through the voir dire process and get selected.

Perhaps the guy was stressed, tried of life and looking for someone to hurt. It will not suprise me if the perp of this hit and run says that if they are found. I hope the lady recovers.

This reminds me of the old Monty Python skit of the grannies operating a motorcycle gang. I guess they could get together here and name it "The Blue Hair and No Hair" - a coed gang.

Hopefully Obama will remember, as Pelosi and Reid, that many Americans voted Democratic this year, as in 2006, to get the troops out. Let Iraq run their own country.

Bears in forests, isn't that where they belong? Why blame a bear for being where they should be? Perhaps he was looking for hunters or others encroaching on its territory without permission, you know trespassing.

This guy looks nothing like Obama.and he isn't funny, saw him on the tube. As much as I don't like Sanma, he is funnier that this "comedian". At Sanma can make me almost chuckle every 15 minutes.

Have real non-smoking areas and actually enforce the non-smoking laws. Too many times people smoke in the non-smoking area and get nasty when someone in asks them to stop. Even most police will not get involved. Other than that, wait for the financial situation internationally to improve.
