All 10 seats of the SDP in both houses mean exactly what? NOTHING. So go ahead and walk. Obviously their party is as meaningful as the thoughts in their heads.

Woo-hoo! Japanese-American Airlines, or Delta-Sort of Asia Airlines.
I hope hope JAL keeps their hot, chicky momma flight attendants, and not take on more hefers from the Delta crowd. The JAL flight attendants are the reason I fly JAL, and no others.

I thought after "Sicko", Blimpo said he was going on a diet. Did his fat a$$ fall off the wagon or what? He seems to be a ton bigger each time he sucks up the media attention, or does he eat it up?

Now, now. Let's be fair. It is expensive to keep the bloviating trio of Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity on the payroll. Also, it is expensive to post all those "talking points" memos for the hosts at Faux News...oops, Fox News. They report, you decide. Fair and Balanced. Fake...oops Fox News showed its true colors: It's all about the BLING.

My heart felt condolences to Miyako's family. Also the wishes of Mrs. Ptolemy and our little Ptolemy.
RIP angel.

For the love of Zeus!!! MRT in Miyazaki just ran all these details which means TBS has as well. I wonder how her family can possibly cope knowing all this. Sometimes it is best if the media zips it, especially in these details.
I would probably die knowing this kind of brutality was done to my wife or daughter. It seems after Nori-P, the Japanese media have lost what little ethics it had left.

@ starrise:
Yeah I've heard the coppers do some pretty nasty stuff to the katsudon before they serve it. The most mild being spitting in it. Even the worst would be better than what he did to Lindsay.

Mr. President, is Miller Lite less filling, or does it taste great?

Does the IHA know he said this? Did the IHA approve of this before hand? If not he'll be grounded for a while. No more walkies round the big pond, and they'll take away his microscope too.

Japanese kusobabas and kusojijis who eat smelly food stinking up the whole airplane. Then begin the flatulation fest 30 minutes later.
Oyaji that stink of cheap shochu and cigarettes and insist on talking to me.
People with a ton of carry on that pull out other peoples' luggage from the overhead and think they are some how special to have it to themselves.
Fat, sweaty people who stink and immediately reach over and point the air to themself, their nozzle and mine.
Kids sitting behind me that kick my seat, scream, and cry and the parents do nothing. Don't give me crap. I have a 10 year old daughter and when she was an infant to 3 years old we didn't fly with her. We also made it clear to her that she was not to be a pain people's a** when she does fly with us.
That pretty much is what bothers me.

Here in Miyazaki MRT ran this story for 15 minutes. I hope this animal (or animals) are caught soon.
Regardless of the race of the victim, it really touches me deeply thinking of the pain the family grieves for their loved one.
I don't think I could live another day if my daughter or wife were killed. Whether like Lindsay Hawker or Miyako Hiraoka. May both families find their peace. Sorry for typos, I'm have tears welling.

When will they just disappear, also Mister Children? I am sick of tone deaf wannabes.

And from Dec. 1 to Jan. 1 we have all the J-Post bikes out spewing CO2 to deliver the recycled cards, and regular mail deliveries on top. So this puts Hatoyama's "Japan is on the front line of the green revolution" where?
Nice try, but no cigar. Email is much more green than the paper cards, so get off it.

Well welcome to the 21st Century, I thought Japan was part of it. Email is much more convenient and "green". Don't need those CO2 spewing J-Post bikes to deliver an email right, didn't Hatoyama say Japan was on the front line of the "green revolution".
If not, then keep selling those paper post cards, that kill trees and in that process increase the CO2. Unless he is talking out his hiney like any other politician. Which happens to be the case.

Sawajiri said, "Betsu ni." pretty dramatically. I think that is about all she really did though. Seems to be her entire career. That and the "casting couch tango" to get the parts she had.

Oh, rats. I forgot:
"Boda boom - boda bing." It makes me want to scream when people say that.

Only three things really. Honey, you're out of (fill in any alcoholic beverage I enjoy).
Dad, can I borrow (fill in anything of mine, especially money)?
Honey, the trash is ready to take out.
