On Aliens

Last night, the new Prime Minister of Japan became drunk and stuck his head out a second-floor window and yelled to the news reporters below, "I am an alien." Incidentally, his wife also claims she has been abducted by a UFO and taken to Venus.

As far as I am aware, aliens are not allowed to become prime minister in Japan, although that may soon change under DPJ rule. Anyway, the mass media in Japan, in reporting this, have portrayed him as a charming fellow, despite all the bashing they caused when the previous prime minister was drinking at an expensive bar.

I honestly don't know where this country is headed.
