The Japan Times

The article starts, "Disgraced Peruvian ex-president Alberto Fujimori will run for...election next month."
He is suspected of having death squads kill the people who opposed him and of stealing money from the Peruvian government. Is this a man Japanese people want in their government, no matter how small the post? I hope not.
In an interview he stated, "...members are convinced that the style...of my government in solving problems can be transferred...to Japan."If he is talking about killing people,I don't think he is talking about a government post AND I don't think the Yakuza bosses are elected by the public.

Good Evening


Well I don't know about you but I have my American Football World Cup championship tickets! I wonder who will be in the finial game? Germany won the last one and they made it to the finials again. Japan won the first cup in '98 I believe, and they are in the finials. Also, the USA decided to field a team this year and they made it to the finials. So with so many possibilities it is hard to tell, but I'm hoping for a USA vs. Japan match up. And I hope that Japan wins. Why you ask, me being American and all?
Well I love American football and I would like to share this great sport with my students but I can't. I'm hoping that with a win against the USA, it would make my school think a little harder about having an American football team.
