This is the second part of an ongoing series covering the Tokyo Earthquake and it`s aftermath from my eyes. This may develop into a short novel, however that (for now) is in the air from my end.

You can read Part 1 here.

I found this video online and I had to share with you all. This is so classic, yet it makes sense and explains the incident in a way you will never see elsewhere. Anyway without further ado:

Looking at most of the bad information out there about the ongoing incident I decided to post up this fact sheet (which has been verified by my own independent research) regarding the ongoing nuclear incident in Japan. I would also like to use this as a live blog to update the community with news as I see it on NHK and Japanese news sources. I have noticed that the western media is about 24 hours behind on their reporting.

The source of the fact sheet was originally found as a comment on the MSNBC website by a user by the name of Sam W. I found it the best all in one breakdown of what is happening right now and what might happen in the near future.

While the title may be decieving because unfortunately I was too busy crapping my pants to take out my iPhone and actually snap some pictures or shoot a video which I imagine would have made me an instant YouTube sensation. Thinking back I could be partying with the likes of Keyboard Cat and Rick Astley if I had gotten this all on video, or at least the scariest 2 minutes of my entire life. But I digress.

Below the fold I will tell my story of the earthquake if only to get it off my chest.

Im sorry but I just spilt my shouchu and mitsuya cider on my shirt when I read this. If its already been posted, sorry.

Michele Bachmann Plans Iowa Trip; Is a 2012 Bid on Tap?

Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, a Tea Party favorite, may be considering a 2012 presidential bid - a possibility that her chief of staff confirms is not "off the table," according to ABC News.

In recent weeks, speculation swirled around the possibility that the Minnesota congresswoman might challenge the state's Democratic Senator, Amy Klobuchar, for her seat in 2012.

Please please I hope she runs. She is the epitome of moron right wingers currently in office (sorry Sister Sarah).

Its been a while since I posted regularly here at DailyKos, not because I have nothing to say but mostly because others here tend to post what I planned to say better than I could write it.

Today though I decided to post whats on my mind, even though GrannyDoc has a post at the top of the rec list which says a similar thing. One comment I saw was one of the usual apologists saying that it was a small minority in the left blogosphere who are upset with Obama. Well, apparently now I am one of them.

I did not come to this decision on a whim. In fact I have been one of the Presidents staunchest supporters and defenders.

Hey fellow Kossaks, its been a while since Ive posted. Been trying damn hard to do some work for some Democratic candidates back home and not much time for diaries. But I am here daily reading and rec'ing when I can.

Anyway I wanted to post this brilliant video which is made by a British friend of a friend which hasnt gotten any play (from what Ive seen) around these parts. Bonus.. special guest appearance by Julian Assange himself (looking quite dapper if I might say).

Follow below the fold for the vid...

While the news has been recently focused on the incident off the coast of Gaza, BP has been preparing an advertising ad blitz to remake its image and hopefully repair some of the PR damage from the recent (and on going) spill in the gulf.

We have recently got our hands on a early copy of some of their soon to be revealed attempts. Follow below the fold to see how BP is trying to spin this disaster...

Well guys I have decided to break out my crystal ball and with only my keen political instincts and mild psychic ability I will be predicting the 2010 Midterm Election. I am hoping I do as well this time around as I did during the 2008 elections.

While I didnt win the MacBook (I hate Macs anyway...)I was damn near spot on.

So without further ado, follow me below the fold for my 2010 Midterm Predictions..

As many of you who follow my diaries know I have been very critical of the Presidents handling of both the financial crisis and the health care debate (so far..I`m holding out hope).

However I am not only the first to find fault... I am also the first to find something to applaud.

As the father of a 3 year old daughter and a 4 month old son I am very worried about the future of our energy infrastructure and the sustainability of our way of life.

The investments announced today which President Obama commited to are great first steps in the right direction as you can see below the fold...

Well its the new year and I posted a nice non-political diary last night, but now its back to the trenches.

Today I got this email from Organizing for America (formerly the Obama Campaign website)

Michael --

Looking back at 2009, it turns out you were right.

Early this year, millions of you chose to keep working together and create Organizing for America, to build on the momentum of the Obama campaign, take on the defenders of the status quo, and make change happen.

Special interests thought they could steamroll you with hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying and attack ads. Meanwhile, you built a massive organization, driven by local leadership, that reached out to millions of fellow Americans and made your voices heard to Congress in record numbers.

So I wanted to take a moment at year's end to reflect on everything you've built, and to ask for your help one last time this year to hit the ground running in 2010. Can you chip in $25 to keep our organizing strong in all 50 states?

Follow below the fold for the response I just sent.
