WELL, WITH the Mitt's suspension, it looks like John McCain is the new it girl. Ho-hum. And while I have vowed never to vote for the snake, what choice do I have—a fact he is counting on. However, I remain uncommitted. Let's face it, over here in Tokyo, the damage he does will be confined to American's that live in the United States. He can't raise my taxes. The Japanese government does a good enough job of that. As president he would be equally likely to as, in Mittt Romney's words, turn the United States into France as either HillBill or Obama. The cliche is apt—you get the government you deserve.
