Gotta love Japanese politics.

Just recently, a politician from Fukuoka got caught for lying. What was the lie? He said he graduated from UCLA. After he got called on it, he said that it was an honest mistake and in fact, he attended UCLA for a while but graduated from Cal State LA. Upon further investigation, it was found that he didn't graduate from CSULA either. He then, backpedaled and said that he graduated from Pepperdine which is in the LA area. Now, it looks like he didn't even graduate from there.

In an news interview, he was quoted as saying that he needs to investigate (possibly go to the Los Angeles area) to find the truth. My question... what does he need to investigate? Doesn't he know where he graduated from? I think everybody knows what school they graduated from. There's no need to "investigate."

Taiwan might have the fighting politicians, but Japan might have the best press interviews with their politicians.

Doot doot doot... News Flash. He had a press conference today for his constituents in Fukuoka. With tears in his eyes, he announced that he's resigning from his political party. However, he's not resigning his post as a member of the Diet. He also did not admit to any lying or wrong doing. How anti-climactic.
