  Is this a virtual crime or a real one? Surprised the dude was actually arrested (lol). Seriously, this just goes to show how dishonestly can get serious out of hand. Straying from home is one thing (that I nevertheless detest), however, arson to cover up his indiscetions is another.

  All…

  Aso is working against the clock. If there is an election in Japan in the near future and the LDP does badly (as predicted) he is headed for the high jump. As such, as a four-time failed PM aspirant, he is seizing his short time at the top to try…

  Would this have anything to do with the fact that Japan was recently caught red-handed for falsifying its catches of South Bluefin Tuna? Perhaps everybody (the Europeans included) are finally waking up to the rort that is Japan's tuna fishing industry.

  Reminds me of that old Dead Kennedies song whose lines go something like this, "The economy is looking bad let's start another war."

  What a joke. If there was a legitimate target, why didn't they go in and fix it up on the quiet. Helicopters and all the rest is…

  Aso only has the job of PM at the moment because no body else wants it. Given the short-term past (and that is all that matters in Japan), the LDP is probably going to suffer a setback at the next election. Traditionally, who ever leads them to such a defeat…

  This has nothing to do with socialized medicine, so everybody should just get off their collective hobby horses. The issue here is that a hospital dedicated to treating pregnancy-related issues (the first hospital contacted), blew this woman off with tragic results and has subsequently tried to push the blame for…

  This Tsutomu Satoh is either out of the information loop or he is telling fibs. I am reasonably good friends with the local plod (both the station and the local police boxes), and one of them told me that the general opinion of many cops (at least NPA cops) was…

  Talking about trying to bring back the avatar from the "dead," what sort of compensation would the "husband" be looking for? Endowment like John Holmes?

  *I don't think McCain is behind this campaign strategy one bit. In fact, I think it galls him to have it play out as it has. He's been listening to the same ethically bankrupt jackals who did a hatchet-job on his reputation in the 2000 primaries, and they've essentially erased…

  Is this just another manifestation of Britain's feelings of inferiority with France? If they are serious about sex education, perhaps they should allow wholesale immigration from the Continent!
