Wait til the next PM shows up, same story, same scenario. Ridiculous.

Wow that's amazing, a 60 plus year old dishing out fries at McDonald's, and even older workers elsewhere. I agree, as long as one is physically and mentally able to work whatever job, let them. I praise companies that allow much older workers that are able to work, work.

It's a way to stroke the egos of celebrities. Really not a unique concept, not too long ago in the U.S. there was an insane amount of awards shows every year. I swear, one year they had something like 30 different awards shows, everything from the usual emmy and oscars…

That's odd and tragic. Usually Jp operators/conductors at train stations are quite good at observing people in and around the trains. There must be more to this in that this storyteller was in some weird blind spot. I doubt it's anything to do with gross negligence, poor training, or other…

I wonder if their Tokyo show is any different from their Vegas show. I saw their show last year, and before that I saw their show in 2001, and they were practically the same thing. I mean, they were cool at first but it's time to try something different. I…

Do the math, he probably abused this kid, burn marks? Do unto him what he did to his kid (and to think people here think Islamic/Sharia type laws are all bad).

Typical career move for those on the 'comeback' trail or needing extra cash or to boost their ego: go to Japan! Think about it, where else in the world will you have thousands of screaming fans adoring you at the airport when you arrive? Ask Michael Jackson! The Jp fans…

Ominous as always. Not only are attacks rising (over 300 average the past several months, on what universe would any sane person consider Iraq stable and safe post surge with such attack numbers), but troop deaths are also rising.

And so the chorus will rise, "it's still not stable, the…
