Sound like another famous princess who found royal life wasn't all it was cracked up to be? I'm not sure why she married into the royal family in the first place seems like a waste of talent.

I was surprised this didn't happen sooner but good show for Gates.

Good for Fukuda but I'll keep my airconditioner where I please home and business. I'm from the north and the Nagasaki summers come close to killing me.

Where are the people who regularily condemn the Japanese for their unwillingness to help people? This is a world wide epidemic of humans not caring about other humans. The world has just gotten a lot less cival in the last 10-20 years.

Zaphod you are right on the mark. Look what the EU's tolerance has gotten them. For a group of nations with far less religeous observance than the US (at least according to the pope) it seems amazing that they are so willing to allow Muslim immigrants to hijack the Eurpoean…

Yawn, the fight is over and now the real campaign begins. Uniting the party will depend on Hillary's supporters having a short memory. I've heard some pretty angry sound bites form her supporters so I'm not so sure.

Metabolic syndrome? or could it be the extras sweets, junk food and a sedintary lifestyle perhaps. There aren't near as many true porkers here as back home but it's changing. I used to see people that I would consider chubby but in the past few years I've started to see…

I think I prefer the old way of projecting power both soft and hard. America without it's hardline posture would be swallowed up by any number of its enemies. The Bush doctrine of preemption is really where America has gone off the rails. I don't think anything constructive can come…

I think Tokyo and Chicago are a tough match but I am biased because Chicago area is home. They share the same transportation challenges among other things. Chicago has more space for venues but Tokyo is safer. Rio is an exotic city but they'd have to have the whole army…
