Go kōi dake itadakimasu*

A tall, bald, self-assured and decidedly palid charmer is wending his way towards you.

No, it's not MTC...lucky you.

No, it is the world's second most difficult-to-locate** and least-sought-after hunting dinner companion.

米副大統領、訪日で調整　早ければ来月にも
東京新聞

ワシントン１３日共同-日米両政府は１３日、チェイニー米副大統領が早ければ来月にも訪日することで調整に入った。安倍晋三首相と会談し、日米同盟の重要性を確認するとともに、イラク新政策などについても説明するとみられる。日米関係筋が明らかにした。

具体的な日程については固まっていないという。

"No problems with arranging the schedule."

Imagine that.

The actual president Vice President of the United States has no appointments lined up that could interfere with a trip to Japan even next month.

Like I said, imagine that.

For the Abe Cabinet, yet another feather in their cap. A coup. A smart, sassy move.
