The Daily Show ran this short piece last week on just how dumb and tantrum prone Sarah Palin is:

Basically the critics accuse her of being stupid, ill-educated and prone to tantrums. Sarah Palin has since hit back by calling them “jerks” and saying “it’s not fair“… thereby pretty much proving their point. Well, one thing we can all be thankful for is that this nasty little hate-monger has been kept out of the White House. Only, apparently she wants to give it another shot in 2012 if God shows her “the open door”: “I’m like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I’m like, don’t let me miss the open door. Show me where the open door is,” says Palin (eloquently) and “if there is an open door in [20]12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I’ll plough through that door.”

How do you plough through a door? Please God – NO!!!

Meanwhile, here in Japan, we celebrated Taisho’s birthday at Joao last Saturday and followed the party by going to Alphabet Ave. and drinking till dawn. Here’s a picture of my gang all lined up at the bar:

Aren’t they lovely?

This is what happens to them if I play with them at Photfunia:

Last night I went to Woodnote which is a fine little 25 year old cafe in the Kitaoji area where you can hear Irish music and drink organic coffee and eat cinnamon toast. And you can see pictures of that here: LINK

And tomorrow I’m meeting up with Kageyama-san for the first time since Small Town Talk closed down in February and I’m really looking forward to it!
