Here we go, the day following his victory and Obama is already under the LDP microscope. With Japan's self deception that they are themselves a unique and homogenous nationality, they have never really understood other countries in which people of various ethnic backgrounds live together. Moreover, the LDP has always…

Bigtime Charlie, you are so wrong. Did you even check the website? Our good friends at BA may have made a mistake (or is it JT?). The online price is actuall JPY66,000 return to europe, and adding charges makes it JPY130,000 just to get to the UK. Adding a "free"…

Yes the idea that some loonie might try to assassinate the president-elect is is just so off the scale there.....ridiculous, ludicrous. Only a fool would even consider such a thing.

That's why Obama gave his victory speech from behind inches-thick bullet-proof glass. Next we'll see him riding everywhere in a…

Wow, this article has been up for 3 and a half hours, but not one of JT's resident Republican pundits has commented yet. I eagerly await your, as always, thoughtful and perceptive analysis of the situation.

What an honorable gesture for the memory of their slain son, who cared so much for other less fortunate in this world that they gave their own lives for it. If only more people were like this in the world instead of whining and bitching about everything in life, then…

I'm kind of hoping that Obama DOES take an interesting in the kidnappings - those kids taken by their Japanese parents back to Japan. Why does Japan cry about such a thing when they continue to allow their citizens to do the same thing - and in greater numbers??

While perhaps it was better he did not say anything, what he said is hardly unique. Several people I know have expressed concern over the President's future safety. Now I know people here don't live in a box, only a few weeks ago the FBI prevented some lunatics from carrying…

Molenir,

Change for America. Damn right . . . weak defense . . .

Seriously, you guys couldn't argue your way out of a wet paper sack.

It was only a few days ago that GOP supporters were warning Americans that Democratic presidents presided over WWII, the Korean War, and…
