Richard Gere won a two thirds majority in the Japanese parliament enabling him to carry out his postal reforms. In the news last night and today we have seen many victorious politicians with these things above. Thanks to Davecat, I learned that it is a Daruma. The politicians recieve these things with one eye only painted in. They make a wish and if their goal is attained, they paint the other one in.
