I read today that President Obama is going to ask Congress for around 80 billion to finance the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I seem to remember George Bush doing the same thing a year or so ago. I understand that money is needed for bullets, tanks, helicopters, missiles, machine guns, M16's, etc to...

The World Waits.
The world waits - as I write this - to see if North Korea's missile will rain down on the nation of Japan. "It's a communication satellite, that's all!" the North repeats adamantly, but the rest of the world is skeptical. Obama slams North Korea's provocative launching of this "satellite" and...

Say What?
I lived in this country of Japan for many years and I still find it incredible that the Japanese still screw up English signs. Below are a couple of signs, you tell me if you can figure them out.
