Japanese First Lady says ''I've been to Venus!''

[miraclefan]

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...by-aliens-says-japans-first-lady-1780888.html I'm sorry, but is this woman serious?? And here I thought ALIENS only abducted red necked idiot's, but I was wrong. And I LOVE this Quote. The 62-year-old also Knew Tom Cruise in a former incarnation - when he was JAPANESE - and is now looking forward to making a Hollywood movie with him. ''I belive he'd get it if I said to him, 'Long time no see', when we meet,'' she said in a recent interview. No wonder the ''ALIENS'' returned her!

Is this recent? Because I'm sure the Coast to Coast AM folks would totally eat this up and say it's proof of alien abductions or a government conspiracy to cover life up on Venus or something along those lines. They could do an entire show on just this topic!

Yes it is indeed recent!

 

[ManOnTheWave]

Yeah. I'm beginning to have a better understanding when people tell me they "don't know about the new administration."

On the plus side, Amazon is giving away Shonen Knife's new single as a free download.

Well, I liked The Last Samurai.

So, how new is Japan's current administration then?

 

[Brent]

Venus is nice this time of year, really

A few days. Major change, too - first time the previous party's been out of office since the war, basically. Mind you, that's not to say the new guys are all exactly fresh-faced. Still, maybe the new administration might shake up some of the stifling bureaucracy there. Would be nice if we saw Japan come storming back economically; the world economy could do with them booming again, but I don't see it happening any time soon... and there's a limit to how much public debt even Japan with its trading surpluses can afford to run.

Don't they have this -almost- tradition going that when they change their system (which indeed is very rare) they have an enormous growth immediately afterwards?

I sadly don't know Japanese economic history well enough to answer that, but that would certainly hold true for the major shifts that ended the Tokugawa shogunate isolationism in the mid 19th century, and also the post-WWII reconstruction. Whether this political shift (seismic though it is) follows through with equally seismic economic changes... that's the bit I'm not convinced by. But hopeful. Change is certainly needed there.

She clearly mistook an alien world for Venus. Confusion can happen if aliens manipulate someone during Astral Travel.

 

[Supreme Admiral]

Impossible!

No aliens can take her away to Venus!!

Absolutely not an expert myself either, but exactly what you mentioned is what I was thinking of: Nara to Shogun to unification and isolationism to adopting western-styled imperialism to pacifism and now this.

Hoping the best for them

confusion is common in cases of vigorous tentacle "probing"

Ahhh yes, the Japanese do love the tentacles don't they...

The trouble here TS is that I can't tell if you are being ironic, or if you are just being you.

 

[Dream]

Perhaps this lady is somehow related to Sarah Palin? That would certainly explain this.

 

[Star Wolf]

Sounds like she is very cleared up Scientologist.

 

[Brent]

The real question is though, has she been to Uranus?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

She's got it.

Yeah baby, she's got it.
