I'm all for equality between men and women, but why do women also have to do the stupid things men do?

So Mr. Loopy has found his calling! MCing fashion shows. Congratulations. Now get out of politics and give your seat to someone who knows what they are doing.

Back pain really, or just nervous about coming to the irradiated quakeland?

Well, maybe tokyochris is right. After all, the vast majority of his victims are his fellow Mulsims.

We can worry about this issue after we definitively know whether OBL was actually killed. Of course, if he wasn't, he would probably have sent out a video to that effect.

Seems though that for a culture based on Christianity with its 10 Commandments, one of which is "thou shall not kill", this is a great failure. Whatever happened to "thou shall not kill"? There were no footnotes stating "except in the case ...". It seems very simple: thou shall not kill, no exceptions. The word of God no less. But nobody seems to give a flying fig about that. Wierd culture or failed culture?

By the way, you can bet that the far right will try to find a way to make this work against Obama. It is only to be expected.

Tonight, Japanese cable TV showed a picture of the head, but partially obscrured I guess to hide the ugly parts. It did look like his mouth. So I guess the photos are out there.

Many commentators have remarked about the commonalities between US conservatives and the Taliban. We see them here in Dubya's attitude towards this young, gay politician (and gay's in general). Yep, total Taliban.

Well, if the US hadn't suddenly abandoned Afganastan after the Russian invasion and actually carried out its promised aid, Bin Laden would not have been created. Remember Reagans "Freedom Fighters"? Yeah, the US gave them arms and promises of a better tomorrow after the war ended. Then it completely lost interest in the place after Russia withdrew. And VOILA! Bin Laden (who was one of Reagan's original "Freedom Fighters"). 9/11 was just "blowback" from a botched Afganistan policy. And now look. You're back!!! More American's dying. Pitty.

It is remarkable not just for being gay but for being young. Young people don't vote so young politicians don't get elected. Well actually, young people get elected if they are inheriting office from their father and all the old constituents vote for him/her (like Obuchi's daughter, just to mention one). So policies are all geared toward old people and young people get squat. Good luck!

So what do you see in Ando's expression? She does not seem to be gloating or anything. Why isn't she at least smiling? Kim fell during prelims. Maybe it just wasn't her day.

Why did HNK have to spend so much of the 9PM news on this. There is more important stuff and problems here to report on. And what's with the hats?

The LDP is petty, petty, petty. We should fear for Japan if they come back to power.

When I was a kid I loved Alice in Wonderland. Cinderella was kind of scary (that wicked witch). We never hear about the people behind it doing the ground work that makes it all possible.

A US company kills 15,000 people in India, and nobody is held accountable. That's one of the great advantages of doing business in the US! Let's all sing! "Oh say can you see, by the dawns early light!!!"

I don't give a rat's derrier if he is a bigwig. He is a politician. The only question he has to answer is "What have you done for me lately?"
