You cannot get more cynical, for at least a few minutes until the next horror is revealed in Japan.
But for now, Yomiuri Shinbun (10/3/2011) says that Yukio Edano, former Chief Cabinet Secretary and the current Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry (who is seen trying to suppress a laugh in the video I posted) will also become the Minister in charge of the nuclear disaster compensation scheme set up by the government and the nation's electric power companies that operates nuclear power plants to socialize the cost of the accident.
The position has been held by Goshi Hosono, who as the Minister of the Environment has submitted the Ministry's budget that is more than 5 times the size of the last year's, riding high on the decontamination bubble.

Will the people of Japan sit back and eat this or will they stand up? Where is your honor Japan?
its like the Devil opened his doggie door and let loose a whole raft of purulent hell-imps who are now rampaging through Japan, disguised at Japanese men in government and corporate positions, cackling at suffering and misery, pulling the Japanese into a deep dark place - on purpose.
Yes, indeed, it's like a second-rate horror movie...
even including low image resolution via the Fukushima Daiichi TEPCO camera.
Whenever I look at Yukio Edano I get the impression that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. He always looks dazed and confused whenever he's on TV. In some ways he has become the face of the government's and Tepco's handling of this disaster, and it doesn't give me very much confidence in them...
Edano is a very smart man, don't be fooled by appearances.
This man has proved that he can lie extremely well, making many people believe he'd be honest.
What else "capabilities" are required by a today's politician, especially for such a hot and potentially very expensive topic like people compensation?
I even could imagine that he'll get prime minister soon.
His great ability to lie while looking almost perfectly "honest" is rare even in the poltical class.
