Taro Aso Says Pull

I got an email the other night, which I presumed to be an elaborate wind - up. But no, it turned out to be true. And with it came the intriguing knowledge that Taro Aso, Japan’s Foreign Minister, still serving under Abe Shinzo - the new PM - is a dab hand with the old rifle.

He represented Japan in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal at Clay Pigeon Shooting, and is Chairman of the Japanese National Clay Pigeon Shooting Society.

I love the internets and all its tasty trivia goodness. Taro Aso is still a little troll though.

Thank you, Tony Rosetti for the heads up on Mr. Aso’s history.
