What is this country coming to? Two year old kids with a death wish! Cleo and friends are definitely correct. Although this "accident" happened down in Osaka, you can smell the stench up here in Tokyo. If Dad was out of the house, the cops should start talking to the…

Must have been a slow "crime day," thus he literally made his own story. I actually heard there were 2 women who saw him commit this act. It is pretty serious, one of the women had a stroke! Unfortunately, the second women was not fast enough.

Would this "fast settlement of the gyoza issue" occur before or after the settlement of a certain banking issue?

Honestly, I don't know why the Japanese media continue to panda (sorry pander) to Mr. Ishihara and his motor-mouth. Although I understand that quotes from him sell newspapers, what comes out…

Because of his father (who played a key role in the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations back in the 1970s), Fukuda is probably one of the most pro-China members of the LDP. From what I know, over in Beijing Fukuda has a fair bit of guanxi with the upper echelons of…

Rather than "sleeping," a more appropriate term would be "passed out." What ever happened to the saying that "God Protects Drunks?" Looks like it did not help this guy.... At the same time, I wonder about the state of the driver? Were they also drunk?

The reference to these kids being potential future serial killers is a very good one. People who can torture animals without conscious can just as easily turn their attentions to humans.

Could somebody please tell me what phosgene would be used for in the current day and age? Furthermore, as one of the most infamous chemical agents used in WW1, isn't its production banned under international treaties?

Matsumoto Hitoshi - Never backwards in coming forwards. When he and his side kick used to be on TV (a lot more), I sometimes used to wonder if the guy had mental problems, some of his "social commentary" used to be outrageous. It is nice to know that somethings never…
