The Moron Mayor of Osaka Speaks: Metaphorical Tomatoes Are Thrown

Toru Hashimoto the mayor of Osaka gave a speech in Tokyo castigating Allied Forces in World War II for setting up military run brothels just like the Japanese Imperial Army did in Asia.  Of course there is no historical evidence to back this morons assertions but that won't impede a racist, ultra-nationalist,  war crimes denier and historical revisionist like Toru Hashimoto.

It's rather amusing that this idiot was once considered to be a future Prime Minister of Japan.

Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto, who was once seen as a future prime minister, argued in a weekend speech that Japan must admit its own historical wrongdoings while also pointing out the mistakes of others, the Mainichi Shimbun said.
“After landing in Normandy, allied soldiers raped French women. ‘Comfort stations’ were built after things became too much,” he said in the speech, using a euphemism for brothels, according to the newspaper.
“It is a historical fact. It is an unfortunate past. We must never repeat it,” he said in the public address.

What ever drugs this classless conservative fool is taking he'd better stop or he'll find himself completely marginalized from politics. Wait, no he won't because the rest of Japan's so called political elite are just like him.    

Climate change: Can disaster be avoided?

Yet another UN report on climate change warns of dire consequences if no action is taken.

The one country that lead the world in addressing climate change is completely gridlocked over the issue thanks to the news media and the Republican party. America could be leader in dealing with climate change but given structure of American government the Republican party can block any legislation proposed by the White House or the Democrats in Congress by refusing to allow a vote. America's media plays its part by trying so hard to appear impartial they invite comment from climate deniers even though the science refutes everything they believe.
