I wonder how long it will be before the first resignation comes because of a scandal or gaffe.

Gang? JT has made the first gaffe. If there isn't any respect in the media, then how can there be possibility of success? What happened to respect first, then disagreement?

Japan will not go to war with China. What does it have? Ospreys! It will do like other countries and let the USA lead the way. That won't happen because the global economy is based on two parties - China and the USA.

Do they just run the same photo every year and photoshop the faces in?

GANG has many meanings http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gang (I think all of them fits here...lol)

papigiulio -- 2 women out of 23 is hardly progress. Progress is what SK just did, electing their first female president. When Japan can even apprach that kind of progress, it should be embarrassed. It is just tokenism in a male-dominated society still stuck in an early 20th-century model.

Sorry, typo. "When" should be "until" in second sentence.

The guy on the far right in the back is actually the janitor. He somehow got in the picture.
