#7 "I thought Asahi was beer......? "

Well, it's a lefty, all-organic, Vegan sort of beer, made with synthetic yeast (yeast is a living organism, doncha know...)

Actually, when they say that the Asahi Shimbun is "left", that does NOT mean it is like one of those pamphlets handed out at ANSWER marches; it is more "left-liberal" like the LA Times, etc...

IOW, it is a real newspaper with a certain editorial slant...

#8 Well, the probability is that the whole thing started as a hoax, (not that it will finish as a hoax) so why is Cheney going to all this trouble

#9 I used to drink a bunch of Asahi when I was there - Asahi dry was my favorite.
