Oh Right, Japan

#3140 in your program, #1 in your heart

Maybe you, like me, are not getting through every issue of The Economist lately (even though you really should), and so you are not as up on how things are going in Japan these days as you might otherwise be. If that is the case, you might enjoy the lead story on the Globe and Mail webpage on this Thanksgiving Monday, aka No-News-in-Canada Day. "The hometown Rakuten Eagles are lagging in the standings this year, but it doesn’t matter," we are told. "The fact that there’s baseball being played at all in Sendai this year is a triumph." Well, sure. Absolutely.
