Reuters: Mind your language, Japan PM tells parliamentarian
A question in Japan's parliament on Wednesday peppered with English financial terms had Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi warning a lawmaker to mind his language.X)
"Who understands (English) words like 'compliance' and 'governance'?" Koizumi asked the embarrassed opposition questioner.
"Use words that ordinary people can understand," he said to loud cheers and laughter.
"Some members know English, I've studied a bit, but debates shouldn't be limited to those who understand English. Debates are for everyone."

Man that Koizumi says the darndest things doesn't he? Man, this is why he's so cool. He's more than a man, he's the hair, the hand-gestures, the living legend. The coolest, in my opinion, country leader ever. And it seems like he can't do wrong, with that hair and those hand gestures he makes during speeches. Btw, does that hair EVER move? Is it real? Is it really an alien that lives off his scalp? Thoughts on these please. ^.^

I swear I made a post about Koizumi's hair once--specifically, about the salon he goes to to get it styled so that it always looks exactly the same--but I can't find it.
