There's a tendency to pre-convict Sumo guys, because of the scandals. Asashoryu had to resign after that brew-ha-ha with 'some guy', whom we later learned was a bozuzoku ne'er-do-well who promptly got into trouble again. Asa on the other hand went back to Mongolia, started his own investment bank and getting rich off of Mongolia's mineral wealth. Based on that, I'm inclined to believe that maybe Koni-chan was pushed too far.

Tepco's credibility is nil. This is the company that announced a meltdown, took it back the next day, reconfirmed it three months later and then waited until the end of November to admit it had melted through to within 37 centimeters of the bottom. This is the company that blows off the discovery of fission-caused isotopes with short half-lives that can pretty much only indicate recent fission. Conspiracy theorists aren't the problem.

Some gun nut,
Really? China can have a million troops ready to go when it wants. Do you actually think "Red Dawn" was a blueprint for success?

I don't know, that Norikazu Otsuka guy was eating the Fukushima vegetables on TV and look what happened to him! Of course, they deny any connection.

For years, partisan hacks have been burping this conspiracy theory. Anytime you'd like to present some evidence other than, "some guy wrote a book about a conspiracy theory" or "my dad said so", please do. Until then, just face it: Democrats ended the Great Depression and led the government during the successful prosecution of World War II. Sorry if that doesn't fit your world view.

Why is it that 5 allegations of sexual harassment were no big deal to republican voters, but one allegation of a consensual affair was the deal-breaker? Harassment=okay, consensual=bad?
And where does this clown get off claiming he "made it to the quarter-finals" without winning a single primary election?
@globalwatcher, I do not think there was any polling any significant number of African-American voters were going to break off for Cain. Just like no significant amount of Democratic Female voters broke off after Hillary's primary defeats and went to McCain/Palin. Please give Black folks credit for voting in their best-interests and not for skin color. Shirley Chisholm and rev. Jesse Jackson didn't become president, after all.

Japan wants to bring a species back from extinction. Meanwhile, Japan is hunting dwindling whale populations because 5 or 6 rich guys like to eat it.

Isn't that kind of like putting the exit to a car wash right next to a spewing and tar pit? One it comes back out.....

The funny thing about rights is that they already belong to people. It's institutions like religious hierarchies and conservative governments that suppress peoples' rights.

If he's anything like his American conservative counterparts, "governing" has nothing to do with it. It's all about wielding power.
I see a lot of comments about how great it is to have new blood (without regard to whether the new blood is poisoned), can anyone point to anything great he has done? It seems that the only people pointing to his actual record say that he's messing up schools.

Wow! Restaurants? That will totally take the travelers' minds off of that whole "triple nuclear disaster spewing radiation all over the friggin place" thing that's got 'em all frightened right now.

Yeah, and return to that thriving economic powerhouse known as "the former Soviet Republic of Georgia". If he's lucky, he could work his way up to 'assistant to the guy who sweeps up Yak dung on Main Street'. Or just cut to the chase and break arms for the Russian mob.
There are all sorts of ways people are forced to do things.

If they're going to have a totally sexist and demeaning contest, why not go all in and have a "best uterus" award? For that matter, have one for the old guys in the boardroom, too: Best Jet-Black Hair Dye Job that isn't fooling anyone; Best Suit that looks exactly like every other suit everywhere in Tokyo.

I really hope this isn't going to be used to blow-off a zillion legitimate complaints about radiation in Tokyo. Since the disaster, a lot of people in eastern Japan have purchased radiation detectors, and they're finding radiation all over the place. How about this radiation in Hachioji station? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2BmZoH8jnM Did this come from bottles? Or from an old glow-in-the-dark watch face?
They found freakin' STRONTIUM in Yokohama, and that's even more to the southwest of the radiation-spewing meltdown in Fukushima than Tokyo.

Fukushima Daiichi is safe? Define "safe"? The plutonium melted through the basement floor, the ground water is effected, there might have been two new criticalities in July and August. Youtube is plastered with videos of people with radiation detectors finding it all over Tokyo. Typhoons rotate counter clockwise, so who knows how much nuclear nastiness was blown inland and south?
