Stupid, stupid, stupid………

That’s what Michelle Malkin is. Apparently, loyalty is a one way virtue within the Republican party and if one does not sing the hymn of “War without end-amen!”-the only correct response is to immediately abandon one’s fellow republicans.

Back to basics………

Well after that post yesterday, I had a really dirty dream last night. So much so that when I woke up this morning I almost felt like having a cigarette. And I don’t smoke. Golden Week is over and now its back to the grind for much of Japan: Tony

Made a decision

A tough one….filled with uncertainty. However it needed to be made. Watch this space for the drama to play out in the coming months. Its not the easy path-I could have put it off, but that would not have been the right thing to do. And, to tell the truth,
