   While the federal government cannot figure out how to appoint a new
   Governor General of the Bank of Japan, it's [1]had no trouble filling
   another important position:

     In a bid to help boost Japan's international prestige and
     disseminate its culture, cartoon character Doraemon was inaugurated
     Wednesday as the official cultural ambassador for Japanese anime.
     Cartoon character Doraemon is a catlike robot from the 22nd century
     and is considered a Japanese cultural icon.
     ...
     "Please work hard to let people around the world learn more about
     Japan and encourage people to foster friendships with each other,"
     Komura said.
     Doraemon replied by saying: "It's an honor to do such an important
     job. I'll work as hard as I can."

   Perhaps his first assignment will be to go back in time ot the day
   this plan was hatched, draw a cluebar out of his 4th-dimensional
   pocket, and whack some bureaucrats with it. Hard.
