Japan Is America's Lapdog? Au Contraire!

[dingosatemybaby]

(Sorry, couldn't come up with a title as supreme as "Baht Pirates," and try as dingo might, he couldn't work the words "hairy beaver" into the title.)

Anyway, dingo is bleeding sick and dog-tired of hearing Japanese around him whine about how Koizumi is Bush's obedient mistress, Japan just does whatever the US orders it to do, Japan is wrapped around Bush's finger, blah, blah, blah.

As AK would say: BULLSHIT.

Japan sends a token, and dingo means superduper token, force of SDF boys to hide behind the skirts of the Dutch, British, and Australians in Iraq, and in return Bush pretty much lets Japan get away with whatever it wants - its venerable mercantalist trade policies, its abrasive policies toward China and Korea, its resurgent militarism and neo-fascism courtesy of the ubiquitous Jiminto.

Dingo really worries that the US is being gulled by Jiminto and the Japanese right wing into supporting independence for Taiwan (a pet cause of Ishihara, et al.), a pretty sure-fire way, to dingo's reckoning, for starting Big Trouble. Dingo only hopes that the forthcoming Hilary Clinton administration will set things straight, establish good ties with China, and tell Japan to go diddle itself.

No No No, It's gotta be all caps and bold.

The Jimento is translated by the English press as "LDP" or "Liberal Democractic Party". This is the loose federation of competing factions that joined together in the mid 50's to combat communism in Japan, and except for a brief 18-month stint in the 90's, has controlled Japan for over 50 years.

Mea culpa to my fellow Runnin' Ute. Jiminto is the Liberal Democratic Party, isn't it? Maybe dingo fucked up the transliteration. I like your Ski Bitch!

PS: About your Ski Bitch, to paraphrase Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog, how can something so petite and cute...be such a filthy and brutal whore!?

Yo, dingo was at the Fiesta Bowl, baby, along with his drunk-ass dingo dad (dad snuck his his hip flask into the stadium, and his alcohol-fueled cheerleading kinda made dingo cringe a little. And dingo's pretty shameless).
