I was reading about the just-happened election last night at a Knoxville News site, where I was reading about the jury verdict in the horrific black on white crime case that a jury rendered last week. The paper noted that the party which won was running on making the economy “less U.S.-centric.”

The next few years are going to be a political roller coaster ride for both of our countries as the fiscal poop hits the fan. One can hope the turnover in Japanese politics doesn't end here, as the DJP sounds like a turn for the worse for them overall.
