Etc. I'm actually interested in hearing what Momus thinks about all this since I don't recall him ever separating the country from the political structure (and those who inhabit it) in his appreciations of the place.

Same Song on the flap. True thoughts indeed.

Not really, most of them just fake it to impress their buddies. Or at least that's what they say in court after

four years pass...

Shinzo Abe has just announced that he is resigning after just one year in which his cabinet was plagued by scandals and dismal approval ratings. The leading candidate to take over his job is Taro Aso, who's view of the world is decidedly "foggy". Last year, the New York Times publicly criticized his "string of appalling remarks" in an editorial called "Japan's Offensive Foreign Minister".

This is not good.

Aso's statements don't sound that much worse than the stuff this deity says.

Yeah, but he's not in charge of anything. He's not even the boss in his own house.
