Can't you feel it? The excitement? You know, all about Hillary coming over for a flying visit on the way to China? "Tokyo juiced up for Clinton visit" is an actual headline in the Japan Times. A very disturbing image indeed and not one that Our Man wishes to pursue much further. Must be something to do with Japan being run by 80-year-old men. Still, nice to see that in the Skype age we can still get excited by a personal visit from the extended family. Did Our Man ever tell you about his one and only near brush with greatness? The time he was working at a local paper in Arkansas and covered Bill's speech and would have had a chance to shake the first couple's hands, but Our Man had popped out for a quick smoke? It was back to breakfast fetching, weather reports and obits for our intrepid reporter. There's more than one reason Our Man has it in for the tobacco companies.

Well, as an American living in Japan I am not so excited about Miss Clinton coming for a visit. All she is really trying to prove is that Obama will not treat Japan the same way Bill did.
Our Man just hopes she will do something about the sorry state of the Abikan Maritime Self-Defence Force, like opening a naval base here so the good people of Abiko can get some decent pizza delivery companies established.
