Quirky Asia News: the Japanese Defense Minister and Godzilla

Does Japan's pacifist constitution allow it to fight Godzilla?  The Japanese defense minister wants to know!

Well, I guess it's good to know that he's thinking outside the box on defense issues . . . though he'd probably be better off thinking about China and North Korea . . .but what do I know? 

Link xie-xie also to Pursuit of Serenity, who sent me this alternate report.

Now if you will excuse me, I feel a strange and overwhelming desire to see a silly Godzilla movie.  "Mothra Vs. Godzilla," maybe.  Definitely NOT the Matthew Broderick "Godzilla" of 1998, though! 

Oh, by the way, remember this archived post about Godzilla versus the academics? 

GOJIRA!  GOJIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
