I just came back from Jr. High camp. Man, that was fascinating. It would make a great anthropological study. Someone described that age as "the only time when everything mattered."
Anyway, Michael Jordan was on Oprah Winfrey the other day. Wow! He’s aged. He’s got bags under his [...]

I’ve been delaying a few days to add to the drama before I lend my extensive knowledge of bizarre Japanese sex stuff. Actually I don’t know much. I remember walking into a curtained off room at a video store and wishing I hadn’t shortly after. They seem to be more into what bodies produce [...]

>> There are vending machines in Japan that sell girls’ used panties. No kidding. I don’t know why this guy just didn’t go there. Anyway, maybe Dan could weigh in here. He’s spent more time in Japan than I have. And he’s spent more time asking girls for their used panties than I have.

Correction #3: [...]

Correction: The man was offering $14 dollars to purchase the bra and panties.
Correction #2: The man’s name was Gregimoto Dorrishito.

I recently asked M.E. Russell what his opinions were of Japanese films after having seen so many. I think he said something to the effect that the gets the impression that every man in Japan is a sadist and/or a pervert. Here’s a classically Japanese news story:
YOKOSUKA, Kanagawa — A man faces [...]

Fascinating things out of Iran. I read another long article on their new President that was excellent–but I lost it before I could post it.
The jist of the article was that Iran’s new President is even MORE CONSERVATIVE than the old Ayatollah Khomenie. He is part of a sect that seriously hopes [...]

Since Hillary is a hickball, New Yorker, Fundamentalist, Jew, or Palestinian depending on the day of the week (and the polls), it may be hard for her to be elected President. Apparently Senator Fiengold is really hammering her for her support of the Iraq War. (of course she has to support a strong [...]

I went to the Onion to read my horoscope. I’m a Scorpio and this is what it said:
"Your death will be so protracted and violent that investigators will let your
mother down easy by telling her that you were sodomized in half by a horse."
God bless the Onion.

I’ve just finished reading two books back to back on African history and let me tell you….it’s enough to make you kill yourself. It’s absolutely miserable beyond belief. It seems that not very many elections (particularly in West Africa) can really be called legitimate.
Having said that, I’ve read a few analysis of the [...]

I thought it was interesting that Weah supposedly had the support of Liberia’s warlords and militias. I always thought he was a great personality and an apparently quite dignified character (and a total stud on the soccer field; who can forget that goal he scored against, I think, Verona, in which he ran the entire [...]

As John Edwards sensitively belts out Cher’s finest anthem, declaring a
mistake his 2002 vote in favor of authorizing the President to use
military force against Saddam Hussein, National Review Online’s Mark Goldblatt
provides a neat little service with this side-by-side look at real
world events since we invaded Iraq and the parallel fantasy world
Democrats pine for in retrospect.
Goldblatt [...]

Most people remember George Weah as a former FIFA World Player of the year and AC Milan star, but he was also a candidate in Liberia’s recent Presidential election. Since he is the most famous Liberian ever and the most liked, it’s hard to believe that he lost. But he did….to a [...]

Excellent, concise and so so accurate skewering of the French from the NY Post. I put the parts in bold that are so French…yet so ignored by the intelligensia.:

Paralyzed French officials complain of "unfair" media attention. Yet, hardly two months ago the French media celebrated the suffering in New Orleans — ignoring the [...]

For those who don’t know, Chriton’s latest novel was State of Fear:
From Publishers Weekly
If Crichton is right–if the scientific
evidence for global warming is thin; if the environmental movement,
ignoring science, has gone off track; if we live in what he in his
Author’s Message calls a "State of Fear," a "near-hysterical
preoccupation with safety that’s at best a [...]

What would the new internet revolution mean? Blockbuster out of business? My current internet provider out of
business? No more video rentals or even purchasing of videos off of shelves?
TV networks go under?
What would it all look like? Sounds kind of exciting. I feel a lot less connected to other media than to music.

Something like that, [...]

I thought PRN would like how quickly the US is blamed. I think it’s their fault. They have so many asian immigrants, that math education has crept across the border into our culture causing more educated engineers who are capable of making guns. I like the Michael Crichton article. It reminds me of a [...]

I’m never quite sure what to think or believe about the Environmental movement. Obviously if a country like China is churning out coal or buying lots of cars, that will have a negative effect. But also obviously a lot of the environmental movement is full of crap and their idealization of the past [...]

I don’t hate many celebrities any longer. I’ve grown almost too bored with them to hate them anymore. I used to loathe Robin Williams, Tom Hanks, etc., but now I rarely have to think about them.
There is one current celebritiy that I have a violent reaction to, and that would be Ty Pennington, the spikey-haired, [...]
