Far East Cynic

What’s on the menu……

A tasty dish of crow that is. Deborah , I’ll have my crow sauteed with mushrooms please…….. And as for the Tribe? Well, I guess the razors can go back on the shelf for another year. I’m a Cubs fan after all-I thrive on dissapointment…………. At least the Yomiuri Giants

A little break…..

And a huge bit of begging. S.O. and I are going up to Nikko for an overnight-to watch the turning leaves and hopefully get me (and her) out of this simultaneous funk we are in before we kill each other. Can anyone help me figure out how to set content

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.

5 years and counting………….

Since Congress authorized the use of force in Iraq.  I’ve been trying hard to fix in my mind the recent controversies over remarks made by LT. Gen Ricardo Sanchez, as well as the testimony of Gen Petreaus last month .  I’ve been very confused about how to encapsulate where the Iraq

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
