Pop Goes the Weasel
Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay.
Now, I don't know much about politics, much less Japanese politics, but soon-to-be-ex-Prime Minister Abe of Japan and his posse are something that has been mildly entertaining over the past year.
What do you do when your public, your opposition and your own posse doesn't like how things are going down? In a public address on Wednesday, Abe decided to get while the getting's good. Blaming it on clearing the political gridlock surrounding the debate on continuing in Afghanistan, he did not announce a specific date. He did, however, make it clear that there is a necessity for a new prime minister. Huh, perhaps he can provide some inspiration to a certain North American president. Or so I thought.
Just a day after the prime minister's public address, he was checked into the hospital for stomach pains from fatigue and stress. These symptoms had apparently begun a month earlier and Abe's condition had since deteriorated considerably. With the confirmation of the rumors of his bad health, those who had witnessed his address began to wonder the real reason for his hasty departure from his position. Toshifumi Hibi of Keio University Hospital confirmed in a news conference that the prime minister would not be able to perform his duties from within the hospital. And, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kaoru Yosano advised there would be no need to replace Abe with a temporary prime minister since he'd soon be leaving anyway. With the recent happenings people have begun to wonder if his somewhat noble intentions are just another scandalous coverup. Well so much for inspiration.
