It drives me nuts when people play games with an established star system - and even more nuts to think that any of these retread hotels Archon manages would even be pushing 3 stars on an objective international scale!

LoveUSA, it's the WINTER olympics. Because some countries don't have WINTER should we have snow baseball or snow sprinting??

Plushenko just didn't skate well - he barely held on to certain jumps and overall did not give a gold medal performance. Lysacek didn't land the quad but it was a completely clean program with many more techinical elements and transitions than Plushenko's. A four and a half minute program shouldn't be decided by one jump.

Sad story, but very tacky to directly name your wife and air all of your dirty laundry. Tony, some day your daughter will be an adult and will be reading these childish "commentary" pieces on the net and will, sadly, fully understand her parents couldn't be adults and work it out. Really sad.

Bankers taking personal risk and responsibility...??? Whaaaa...?
People are clearly mistaking capitalism for banking.
This article is inane and I honestly have no idea what it's doing on JT. Filler anyone?

It boggles my mind that this is even still being debated. As someone mentioned before, Isn't denial a wonderful thing?
Here's hoping the trickle of revelations becomes a full fledged flood. I for one still have my fingers crossed for a Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld war crimes tribunal.

It's much nicer to use the airport bathrooms anyway.
Kind of shocking they're only now just starting to recycle basic goods.

Throw the book at him - kidnapping and forcible confinement. Crossing international boundaries for the purpose of committing a felony. He should serve hard time, no excuses.

They didn't "put" them into parliament. They were elected by the voters. Big difference.

bcbrownboy - aside from the cost tips, what in this list wouldn't apply to traveling in Japan? I actually thought this was a decent article, and I generally can't stand "how to..." articles.
