Why I don’t want to be PM
October 30th, 2008
Apparently when you take on the top job the important things in your life can be cut into:
TOKYO (AFP) — Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso complained on Sunday he cannot find enough time to devote himself to his lifelong hobby — reading comics.
Aso, who takes comics on trips abroad, said he finished reading two weekly magazines last week but has yet to find time to read two others.
“It’s hard to read comic books as my time is now restricted,” a smiling Aso told an audience of hundreds in his first street speech since taking office on September 24.

I mean it’s hard enough I imagine sitting through hours and hours of meetings about… I dunno… stuff I suppose. But then when comic book Thursday comes around and all you want to do is curl up on the bean bag in the back of the office and read about the Deadpool and people keep bugging you about bloody national this and stupid international that.
What I’d like to see is less of this whole income protection marlacky and more about combatting the exchange rate which importantly affects the prices of import comics.
I mean come on, priorities people.

No time for stitching either. Although I could probably stitch during those boring meetings about stuff, provided I wasn’t expected to take notes or anything

I guess you’re the PM - you get other people to take your notes for you:)

a good thing he’s honest about it..he should just plan in time in his schedule and cancel a meeting because he’s got important stuff to do!
It’s a funny name though.. aso would be short for asocial overhere.

an investment in iron man is also good for the economy. It’s good for the middleclass shops.
