Book Shopping

While I was out shopping yesterday I came across this little tome: The book opens well: Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering

Taking a page……

From George Bush’s playbook. If Congress won’t give you what you want-just ignore them. The new Prime Minister has drafted a new version of the Special Anti-terrorism law-the one that allows JMSDF oilers (unlike our navy properly manned by Sailors) to refuel coalition ships in the Indian Ocean. Kenji Yamaoka,

She’s BAACK!!

The cartoon character I want to have sex with: That’s right. Lily Wong has returned to Hong Kong newspapers. It’s also got its own web site, so now blog readers can have something to read more interesting than Day by Day.(Which appears to be in hiatus). Particularly when you love

A really tough job…….

Boo hoo……….

Boo F**king hoo for Michelle Malkin. Seems she is all upset that the Atlanta Journal Constitution featured her in this cartoon.  She once again shows that she likes to dish it out, but she can’t take it when the slime sticks to her new (Fox news paid for) clothes. As a

Maybe its time…..

To break out the straight razors. My former brother in law used to have a piece of paper taped to the refigerator. It said: I will shave from the waste waist down and the knees up the day the Tribe wins the series.  I’m pretty sure he never figured on

Paying up front……….

I always loved the bumper sticker that was around in the 70’s, “Gas, grass or ass-nobody rides for free!” . It is a pretty apt description of most male-female interactions in my opinion. Yesterday was a cloudy, cool day here. The S.O. and I had played golf on Saturday and

Redefining terms.

PROFANITY ALERT! Spike has it right-America has gone off the deep end socially and politically. I also owe every freelancer from Orchard Road to the LA Cafe to Wanchai an unqualified apology. You see, I used to call Michelle MacaganlangMalkin a whore. Now I realize that by doing so, I’m

Coming along side……….

Here in Japan the clock is ticking. The one on the special Anti-Terrorism law, the one that authorizes JMSDF ships to refuel ships supporting operations in Afghanistan. This week the oldest ship in the United States Navy was drawn into the argument. The Minshuto (Democratic Party of Japan) is vowing
