Another caption to that photo:

Koizumi: "Okay... now stop me if you've heard this one...

There was a Japanese man who went to America for sightseeing.

On the last day, he hailed a cab and told the driver to drive to the airport.

During the journey, a Honda drove past the taxi. Thereupon, the man leaned out of the window excitedly and yelled, "Honda, very fast! Made in Japan!"

After a while, a Toyota sped past the taxi. Again, the Japanese man leaned out of the window and yelled, "Toyota, very fast! Made in Japan!"

And then a Mitsubishi sped past the taxi. For the third time, the Japanese leaned out of the window and yelled, "Mitsubishi, very fast! Made in Japan!"

The driver was a little angry, but he kept quiet. And this went on for quite a number of cars. Finally, the taxi came to the airport.

The fare was US$300. The Japanese exclaimed, "Wah... so expensive!"

There upon, the driver yelled back, "Meter, very fast! Made in Japan!"

Yes, in this case especially, a picture is worth a thousand words!

I think Bush looks like he's the leader of the Free World! And darn proud of it, too!

Oh, and Syria should "stop that shiite" too.

"Does that come with fried rice?"

LOL. Just my attempt at transliterating Koizumi's Elvis impersonation at Graceland.

Golly, I can't wait to see what the moonbats have to say about that pic of Bush and Merkel hand in hand.

>Blair is looking very old of a sudden.....<

Blair looks like he is in pain, definitely looks ill. I think the rest of the pictures were somewhat over-read.

Me too, but it's doubtful he will be a singer of Elvis songs. That just makes this one more special. :o)

Expert's view: Bush is showing willing - head back and turned, which is an awkward posture, to laugh with Chirac and Koizumi.

Weegee's view: Bush is in the power position as Chirac came to him.

Merkel looks like she is on top of the world! It's great. And what I like about the photo is that it's strong---of both of them.

She looks like she's on top of the world, but would have no problem saying "Now, wait a minute, George" and he would stop and listen.

Blair really did not look good in those pictures. Not old exactly, but very worried, almost grim. Either that, or in pain.

The one where he was walking very stiffly with the others seemed especially alarming.

Expert's view: Blair looks worried - vertical lines between the eybrows - while Koizumi and Chirac share a joke.

Weegee's view: The 'expert' failed to note that Chicarc is facing and talking with President Bush in the image. This is the "other side" of that image I posted above.

I agree with you, weegee (Bush is in the power position.)

Chiraq gets NO attention from Bush in this posture unless Bush decides to turn his way. And, as you can see, Bush only turned his head. Wasn't worth a full-body tilt! He kept oriented toward his real friend, the Japanese PM, while Chiraq obviously came up and interjected himself.

I saw him on C-Span yesterday and I thought he did not look healthy.
