Sadly, their entertainment hasn’t improved much since then. But they still make little kids look like mature adults. Very strange.

According to YouTube:
Kouichi Toyama is an extreme left-wing activist (so said the official introduction, although he calls himself a fascist) who was among the ten candidates for the governor of Tokyo, and gave a way-wacky speech.
A bit of background here:

An insider’s account of military tests of LSD and other psychedelics

There were many acid tests happening in the 1950s and 1960s. Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters dosed sometimes-unsuspecting proto-hippies. The CIA was dosing unsuspecting mainstreamers. Leary dosed fully cognizant artists, therapists and students. But meanwhile, over at Army Chemical Center at Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland, psychiatrist James S.Ketchum was testing LSD, BZ and otherpsychedelic and deliriant compounds on fully informed volunteers for the U.S. military.
Now, Dr. Ketchum has released his fascinating self-published memoir, Chemical Warfare: Secrets Almost Forgotten, primarily detailing his times at Edgewood. The book boasts charts, graphs and experimental reports — a veritable goldmine of information for those who are interested in psychedelics, deliriants, or chemical warfare. It’s also a funny, observant, and reflective personal memoir, casting a light not only on Ketchum and his work, but on a decade that saw 60s counterculture and the military share an oddly intersecting obsession with mind-altering drugs.
The MP3 of R.U. Serious’s interview with Dr. Ketchum is just a click away.

Robert Anton Wilson died yesterday just a few days shy of his 75th birthday. Beloved by the e-liberty Internet hordes, magicians, dope fiends, gun nuts, conspiricists and other political artists, RAW’s death was immediately noted by Boing Boing, Reason, 10 Zen Monkeys and not a single newspaper or wire service beyond this web-only column at the Panama City News-Herald site.
National Security Agency “helps” Microsoft and Apple
Published by January 10th, 2007 in police state. 0 Comments
The fine folks who listen to your phone calls have been asked by the big boys to help keep your computer’s private data safe. Security technology Bruce Schneier weighs in:
Basically, the NSA has two roles: eavesdrop on their stuff, and protect our stuff. When both sides use the same stuff — Windows Vista, for example — the agency has to decide whether to exploit vulnerabilities to eavesdrop on their stuff or close the same vulnerabilities to protect our stuff. In its partnership with Microsoft, it could have decided to go either way: to deliberately introduce vulnerabilities that it could exploit, or deliberately harden the OS to protect its own interests.
A few years ago I was ready to believe the NSA recognized we’re all safer with more secure general-purpose computers and networks, but in the post-9/11 take-the-gloves-off eavesdrop-on-everybody environment, I simply don’t trust the NSA to do the right thing.
As a follow-up to this post about airport hi-jinx…
If you really want to cause trouble at airport security, you may want to purchase one of these shirts:
After reading about blogger Raed Jarrar’s experience at JFK (he was forced to take off a shirt with Arabic writing on it or miss his flight; new BBC article), I finally stopped being depressed about the war on terror and began being proactively pissed off. I made this shirt, which says “I am not a terrorist” in Arabic. I plan to wear it every time I go to the airport from now on.
I think the wardrobe for my next flight is now decided upon…
