Here's one,OUT by Natsuo Kirino (the book, not the movie). It has everything, disfunctional families, downtrodden housewives, irresponsible teen mothers, gangsters and the sex industry, incompetent detectives, obsession with brand items. Japanese culture in a nutshell.

Again Obama playing politics with the middle east. So with the pending failure of these "last chance" talks, Obama tries to make it a world failure and not just his. Even if Abbas and Netanyahu came to some sort of agreement, there are too many in the Knesset and Hamas who won't accept any negotiated peace.

I would say "Taiko" by Eiji Yoshizawa. It shows that Japanese way of thinking and culture hasn't changed in 500 years. Mr. Baseball was good but more for if the japanese want to know how the look through western eyes.

Okay, this guy is a teacher (supposed to be smart people), he tapes a camera to a pipe and it is so obvious that elementary school kids have no problem spotting it, and, when the cops check out the camera, his pictures are stored on it. What was he teaching, stupidity?

WilliB: Usually Israel retaliates for shooting of a Jewish family by rocketing West Bank Palestinian camps and sending tanks into the Gaza. Anyway, you can't force peace upon people who don't want it. Clinton and Obama calling this the "last chance" for peace was just dumb, so now the people who oppose any settlement of the issue think all they have to do is thwart this effort. Sacrificing Israeli and Palestinian lives for a political ploy in an election year.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and he'll be out on a lake with a cooler of beer all weekend.

Like a position of nobility......appointed with no one to say " hey, we don't like this guy". So you like the term "czar" better? What's the difference?

O'Donnell actually considers the appointment of various positions often called "czars" to be unconstitutional on the grounds that it grants the appointee a "position of nobility."
That's not new, the appiontment of "czars" has always come under fire because it' not an official positionan and therefore not subject to congressional review.

Two days of questioning, how many questions can they have?? "Okay, I pleaded guilty to having a small amount of Coke in my purse, but it really wasn't my purse and the Coke belonged to Linsey Lohan."

She was granted asylum earlier this year by the same judge who said she could be in danger if she returned to her homeland.
In what way would she be in danger?

@northlondon: French administration of the former "French Consession" ended in 1943. So I guess chinese paramilitary police can stay.

I truly doubt it if they could have proceeded had she put up a firm resistance
Have you ever seen firemen training outside their fire stations? These are very strong men. I doubt she could have stopped even one of them, but THREE. Some of you people are just so delusional!

Coerce: to compel by force, intimidation, or authority, esp. without regard for individual desire or volition: And you think everybody does this!!!
