A wild bear appeared near the Tochigi Prefectural Office in central Utsunomiya. (LOL)

It’s ridiculous that they moved the Tochigi Prefectural Office to a backwater like Utsunomiya—which is basically a mispronunciation of “Ichinomiya” in southeastern Tohoku—turning it into a laughingstock.

Utsunomiya specialty: “Southeastern Tohoku Bear Manju”
Utsunomiya specialty: “Southeastern Tohoku Bear Gyoza”...

Anyone weird enough to go all the way to Utsunomiya just to eat gyoza better watch out so they don’t run into a bear in the city center!

In November 2003, under Koizumi and Takenaka’s deflationary policies, the absurd “quantitative monetary easing” (2001–2006) triggered another round of lending recalls by private banks. This caused funding troubles to worsen again, reigniting the non-performing loan problem. As a result, Ashikaga Bank—located in the home districts of Toshimitsu Motegi and Hajime Funada—was forcibly shut down.

Toshimitsu Motegi and Hajime Funada, the two top fools from southeastern Tohoku, just stood by sucking their thumbs and watching.

What the hell are these guys even in the ruling party for?!
