So, noticed this morning that despite Aso's (Our Dear Leader) protestations to not stand for amakudari - the practice of giving cushy top jobs in private industry to bureaucrats who were supposed to be watching for wrong-doing in the same companies - he was in fact lying or just writing cheques that his body politic just couldn't cash. Or something. The story is here if you care to see in black and white more evidence that money talks. Incidentally, amakudari sounds a bit like the kind of sake brewed in Okinawa which Our Man is making heavy weather of getting through (much like this post, eh readers?).
Anyway, Our Man was wondering just what the hell the LDP (Aso's gang) is going to stand for in the general election (which must be just weeks away now). For the DPJ, it's a no-brainer:
We're the party of change (ish).
For the LDP????

even david cameron,no less.somehow missing the rather glaring error in his logic in that he proclaimed himslef to be -and is -the heir to blair
You want to know something depressing? They'll probably run as:
"The Party Of Change"
And they may well get away with it. You'll have a short campaign season, with most voters pretty apathetic. Throw in election laws that are designed to make it difficult for candidates to publicly dispute their opponents claims (it's illegal for you to change your campaign website once the campaign starts, even), and yes, many people may well believe the slogan (or at least not actively disbelieve it) and never hear anybody calling the LDP on it.
How about "Your Stuffed Brown Envelopes Are Safe With Us"?
DK - smart points, shame about the presentation. B-
JM - you are actually the most correctest, but too long. A-
TP - Smart, sassy and to the point. A+
