What a joke that he made the all-star team.

Let's see 8 homers through 2/3 of the season means he'll hit about 12 this year. After averaging, what, 20/year, in Japan? Is it fair to say that Japanese players coming to the U.S. will hit about 60% as many homers…

In my last job I took taxis on a daily basis and it wasn't always pleasant. I'm sorry but I don't have too much sympathy for them.

That's an amazing numerical coincidence -- the increase was as close as you can possibly come to being exactly 0.01% of the new total.

Has there ever been a year-on-year population change of such a small magnitude? All those people coming and all those people going, with the totals almost…

Is Hatoyama still there? He wasn`t mentioned on TV. Maybe Fukuda realized his minister "have killed" too many people or unnecessary fingerprint spouses of Japanese, PRs and the rest of legal residents.

netvistafire,

I am still suprised that you chose to ignore Sharon in 1982.

I chose to ignore him because his name is not Olmert. Can't you understand this is off-topic?

I did already come with an explanation about Olmert breaking the 4th Geneva Convention.
