Left a bit, right a bit



Where is Our Man on the political spectrum? He thought he was left of centre, a man who believes in social justice, but wants reasonably low taxes and telegenic leaders (this is called the third way, readers). But now he finds himself swayed by telegenic losers and promises of future hardship. Check this out, courtesy of Guido:

 
Of course, you could argue old Fred Thompson is a stooge for the Republican elite, but darn it, he does talk a lot of common sense. Mind you, Our Man has never been accused of having much of that. On reflection, Our Man is an extreme centrist, or more precisely, a marxist-capitalist-democratic-elitist individualist. And then some.

Love that movie graphic. But it got me thinking and I try not to. You got quite the blog roll there, something to envy.

There does seem to be something unique about you and your roll. Are there any blogs by chicks? Do you know of any blogs on Japan in English, especially on Japanese politics or foreign policy, that are written by women? Ok, there is Casandra does Tokyo, but I learned that he just likes to dress up like a Chinese woman. That does not count; at least I don't think so. There you go making me think again...

Hmm. There's a good post topic there. Our Man, despite his obvious masculinity, tries to be asexual when it comes to blog rolls. Sorry to have made you think. There's that what's her name in Osaka blog. Er, will try to give a better answer shortly. Got a Christmas Party to go to, so might be a couple of hours...hic.
