Oh, joy. Fukuda reshuffles the Cabinet.

Had to look around a bit to find this in English, but here it is:

from Kyodo wire service, via The AP, via Breitbart

Looks like we get...

...a bunch of Liberal Democratic Party insiders. Four non-economics types got the major Ministries responsible for the economy. A first-timer (from the Upper House, the retirement home) as Defense Minister...

...and no sign of Ms. Koike.

((sigh))
