Amusing

With my Japan trip less than month away, I am now doing some research on places to go. One of the places I thought my group should go is Meiji Jingu in Tokyo, so I went to their website and voila, there is the almight Hillary in her blue pant-suit on the home page. Here's an exerpt from the description:

"When Chief Priest Nakajima explained that Shinto is one of the fundamental elements of Japanese culture and that one of the most important ideas in Shinto is "balance and harmony", she nodded strongly in assent."

That immediately got me giggling (or is it scoffing?).  I don't want to offend any Shintoist, but what is a "nod" really in politics? What was she really thinking when she was nodding. I think it was one of those "I kinda get what you're saying, I don't give a damn but I will politely feign interest" nods. But then, that's why I am not the webmaster for Meiji Jingu.

My cynical rant of the day. Banzai!
