I noticed that now that I am back in Japan, all of the buttons in Blogger are in Japanese! I have guessed correctly and gotten this far, but am currently wondering whether to choose the orange button or the blue button to try and post this. I tried changing the language in my web browser under tools, but it already said English, so I dunno what else to do. I thought you all might be amused to know of this issue which I suppose only applies to me...any advice Uncle Bill? That is alway why I didn't comment on Sean's news, even though I was totally impressed...and wondering how incredibly proud his mom was to read the quote in the article that gave me goosebumps. :)
Now to the point...I am grading papers (can't you tell???) and watching the Today Show (at 8:30 pm) and I hear that the Prime Minister of Japan resigned…curious and clueless, I checked out the web (because it was more interesting than the papers) and found

Probably since you don't live here you don't care (I do live here and it was only a minor blip on my who-cares radar), but the most interesting statement on the page was something I can't imagine any American politicial (Republican or Democrat) saying and it kind of blew my mind:
"I find myself unable to keep my promises — I myself have become an obstacle to fulfilling those promises."
What do you think about that??!?!!
