There's not enough positions for all the fat cats in Tokyo? Gotta come up with new ones!

What's next? Minister of AKB?

"Tokyo organizing committee president Yoshiro Mori welcomed the enactment" the foot-in-mouth disease.

Question is, who is going to pay his --let's be honest, it's not going to be a her is it, not here-- hefty salary?

2 ( +2 / -0 )

Japan already has a Minister of Education, Sports, Culture, Science and Technology and the 2020 Summer Olympics is a sporting event.

Other nations don't have a "Ministry/Department of the Olympics"! Not even us (the US)!

Was a very bad idea to have the Olympics here. Should have held them in Fukushima and help rebuild it.

Please make Mori the Minister, he is just such a great diplomat and leader.

Step right up and stick your head on the chopping block! This position should be called, the scapegoat minister!

I'm sure whoever they choose will do her best as the "Minister" the final boss of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 baby!!! Woot Woot!!

Instead of that, why don't we have a Fukushima Minister, who is TOTALLY responsible for making sure everyone who works there is paid properly and looked after, and not being ripped of my yakuza.

Really, there needs to be ONE person in charge of that place who gets things done, and knocks some heads together.
