    There has been a landmark political change in Japan, with the traditional ruling party LDP not only losing for the second time ever - but also losing so devastatingly that the new government enjoys a two-thirds majority.

    That inevitably means that Japan has a new prime minister, and a new first lady - and what an illustrious couple:

    This article quotes her:

    It also states she is known as a very good cook. Might be something she picked up from the Venusians?

    Still, the article says that this is only one of the things she wrote about in that book of hers. Can you imagine what the rest of it would be like? :confused:

    If she's a loon, from the picture she appears to be of the cheerful, friendly sort.
    She compares very favourably to the rabid loon a la Michelle Bachmann.

    Well at least she didn't mention if she was "probed" or not. :)

    Amusing but the First Lady isn't the one in power so what's the worry?

    To paraphrase "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", the man may be the head of the house, but the woman is the neck and she can turn that head whithersoever she will.

    I lived in Japan for 2 years. Lots of interesting new age sorts of groups. Lots of loonies on the streets, let me tell you. But make no mistake, if I had the opportunity, I'd go over there again in a heartbeat.

    I'm wondering if she isn't a student of Helmut Sparkle? It may have led her to the Venusians!

    Bah, that's just the smog-screen the Venusians use to drive away curious Terrans and Martians! Underneath it's a veritable jungle, I swear!!

    Come on! That's obviously just a close-up picture of some egg you have Morgoth! You expect me to believe that's a picture of Venus? Bah! Venus is a paradise with lots of hot chicks everywhere! Men are from Mars women are from Venus!!!

    [​IMG] Women are from venus, not hot chicks ;)

    Now consider the proportion of hot chicks relative to other women...

    Not so much of a paradise now :p

    Well, considering the name, I'd guess there are 6 more in there. How do they feel about it?

    Y'know - last I checked, this thread is still, for some reason, in the Alleys. Let's try to maybe treat it like it belongs here . . .

    DMC, maybe the sillyness of the entire topic belongs somewhere else? It's hard to take this one seriously... I mean come on, she rode a UFO to Venus? Seriously? Venus?

    What's with the "proof" pictures above? Didn't anyone study the solar system when they were kids? Venus is continually under cloud cover, which makes it appear white, scientists do not know what the surface looks like ... but I guess someone does.

    But I agree with Blades -- I mean I'd choose a different locale. Venus is simply too hot and humid. Now on my trip to Titan....
