[LJ2ME] Quick world politics related post...

Japanese PM, Shinzo Abe, announced that he will resign. I'm not sure how many have been following news about him in the past year, but even with the dismal approval ratings he's been getting, I am still kind of surprised. As I am at work and this is a post via phone, I won't expound on this. Articles, I am sure, can be read on any major news site.
