Shocker!

Wow, the prime minister of Japan resigned. That never happens! oh, wait, thats like the fourth time in four years. Japanese prime ministers all seem to follow the same pattern.
Step 1: Make a lot of promises
Step 2: Get elected
Step 3: Spend a lot of money on things to distract from not being able to meet any promises
Step 4: Have a scandal discovered
Step 5: Resign
Step 6: Repeat

Its getting a little ridiculous. Lets see how this Naoto Kan fellow can hang on. I give him 8 months.
In more scandalous news, Japan has been trying to get the ban on whaling lifted by using money and prostitutes. I'm not really sure how to explain this one except Japan is so dead set in its ways that it would rather bribe other countries than have to eat a few less whales. But I bet if Japan came along and ate and killed turkeys to near extinction and then told the U.S. they couldn't eat them anymore that would cause some unrest too, but I digress...

Instead of whale, why don't the Japanese focus on their more delicious sushi. One plate each of kyuri, inari, and natto maki is a complete meal in itself. No fish or endangered mammal required. Don't these pictures make you hungry??

Oh, I stole the pictures from Kappazushi's website.
