Another fine example of the "Religion of Peace."

Might be good for funneling beer! ;D I remember the plastic horn craze in the 80's in the USA. Every once in a while you will see and hear something like this at US high school football games. Incredibly annoying.

Shutter Island was a strange, weird, bizarre movie. Didn't mean it wasn't good, it was. It was just strange, weird, and bizarre.

Maiko Itai is truly cute, not in a supermodel way, but in a girl next door way. However, she could stand about 10 pounds on her hips. A little thin, but not dangerously so. A truly cute girl.

What is wrong with this picture? Pretty much everything. First, the princess in "Princess and the Frog" is supposed to be black. Not pale with blond hair (both totally wrong for a Japanese woman.) Second, the guy is a total dork. Third, two characters with darker skin would have been truer to the story.

Were they a starvened gang of nefarious crooks?

Where is the Japanese SDF or the US Navy (under treaty obligation.) These are foreign nationals attacking Japanese nationals. Japan's navy has the right to defend her own people. The SS (funny the initials are the same as the stormtroopers of Nazi Germany) are no better than Somali pirates and Japan's government should treat them the same. This is a issue of Japan's rights as a sovereign state. The Sea (terror) Sheepheads do not have those same rights.

PS: See the tape, the Ady Gil sunk herself by cutting off the other ship.

Guys, that is not a growl, but a yawn. This poor creature is bored as all get out. :D

Is anybody going to question why the guy stole the baby. Seems to be the bigger crime here. Or are we all going to be indignant about the silly Mum? Must have been terrible for her.

Mea Culpa. You are right, why the dude took the baby is a far more important question. And the mum is silly.

In the US o'A if you left your baby like that, social services would drill ya a new one! However unthinking this mother is, at least the baby is ok. Could have been far more tragic.

Hate to say it, but once again, us sumbitch Americans are gonna be expected to take the brunt of the rescue-recovery efforts, and a fat stinking bill to match.

And McCain should rebuff the questions. Come on, Obama won the election, and the press never vetted him. Still won't.

Is Simon a jerk? yeah. is Simon worth 36 million USD a year? Answer is yes, because some one will give it to him. Economic law rules again.

Everybody comments about either "drugs, the horror, the horror" or "legalize all of them and it will stop." Wrong answer, this is not a drug war at all, but a civil war. The drug lords are in the "people's war" of a sort. In the first stages of the war you simply shake out all of the weaklings, establish leadership, and get a experienced fighting cadre'.

In the case of Mexico, you would not need popular support to take over the failing government. Once the drug dictators control the countryside, they can use terror as a tool of "recruitment" aka conscription. Eventually, the professional solider class will side w/the drug lords to be on the winning side. Bada bing, bada boom, another junta type government south of the US border.
