One of the greater What-ifs of lesser events that pops into my mind every once in a while is, what if they’d never given Daulerio the position they did? What if, say, Craggs had been the person given the final say in green lighting a stupid story… [more]

I can't figure out why anyone would kill a politician who would never have been in office again. Abe was in fact in office. Parliament works differently than the American system. The party (the LDP) has an election for leadership, the… [more]
