Strange yes. But stupid people have a habit of saying stupid things. I think it's just a coincidence. I fondly remember GWB suggesting that mankind and the fish can co-exist peacefully! I mean like... NO THEY CAN'T!!!!

Mankind and fish can coexist peacefully?
What planet are you from?

Sounds like she simply had a dream.

*COUGH NANCYREAGAN COUGH*

Glass houses and all that

I'm guessing she lived in Hiroshima or Nagasaki during the way. It would explain this.

Woo-hooo!

And the beat rolls on...

I'm just amazed they wrote a whole article and didn't say "prefecture."

And what's up with the dude's eyes again? They aren't slanted enough, so he looks "alien" to them? Homogeneous much, Japan?

Is it really kosher to call her "first lady" when Japan still retains its royal family.

I think the Empress Michiko would have a problem with that.

If only Michelle Obama lost it like this!!! I'm waiting for the Whitney Houston waving finger and this "I been to Venus. It ain't no hot hell!".

I've nevere been to Japan, and I know there are many people here that have and would know far more about this than me, but from I can recall, the Royal family only exist as a Status Symbol. I don't think they have any real political power over anything. The First Lady in question is still in a position to make decisions, but still falls under ranking to the royal family itself!

Meh. Still not as crazy as a birther or a deather.

What, no anal probe??? What the fuck is an alien abduction story without an anal probe???

Since this is in the Red Room......

what she needs is some old fashioned American-style DEEP DICKIN'!

South Park had it nailed - "you have large American penis!"

And not nearly as crazy as a truther, eh?

Well she did say she was "rode on a spaceship".

You're right. After WWII. The US abolished all imperial power and scaled back the powers of the emperor even worse than the British scaled back the powers of the monarch under the Magna Carta. IIRC from college, the Japanese emperor has NO reserve powers whatsoever. So they basically took everything except his house, clothes, and title. He's simply Emperor of Japan. The US kept the royals around because MacArthur thought they'd be great puppets for propagandizing Americanization.

That being said though, as far as "precedence among the people" go, I think they're still considered "first" amongst the people, including the president, government, et al.

On another unrelated note, Hirohito should have committed seppuku or something rather than allowing himself to be used like that. (In my humble opinion of course).
