Gayle "Obama is an Arab" Quinnel: End of story?

Sorry for being so political all the time, but I'm genuinely obsessed with this election. Like, I need to check myself into a twelve-step program. If Obama wins, you'll read about me in the papers for exuberantly and singlehandedly overturning cars in Tokyo and setting them on fire. On the other hand, if McCain wins, you'll read [...]

Seriously, I get heart palpitations when I imagine Sarah Palin as second in line to a 73 year old president whose father and grandfather both died before age 72. She's in waaaay over her head. Three years ago she was the ceremonial figurehead for a small town in Alaska. Three years from now she could [...]

I'm going to go out on a limb and declare this clip will become part of US Presidential election history, like that humiliating photo of Michael Dukakis driving a tank. Huffington Post has a transcript of the dialog if it's difficult to hear. My favorite quotes are Peggy Noonan saying "It's over," and, "The most [...]

Democrat Brad Sherman of California last week said on the floor of the House of Representatives that "someone" (he won't say exactly who) threatened that if the House didn't pass the revised Wall Street bailout bill, the US could be facing martial law. Whoever threatened martial law isn't bluffing. As you may know, on October 1 [...]

As far as a 500 yen can of air goes, there's not a whole lot you can do with it that's interesting. But there you have it.

The Buddhist definition of true love, which to me sounds a lot like true friendship. Maitri: Loving kindness; the ability to make someone happy. That "someone" can be: Yourself Someone you're very fond of Someone you have sympathy for (I forgot to mention that one) A neutral person An enemy; someone you perceive as the cause of your suffering Mudita: transformation of [...]

A link to this video showed up on BoingBoing today. In the 18 years I've lived here, the only establishment I've seen that refused foreigners and wasn't a shady pub or run-down love hotel in a neighborhood full of foreign prostitutes or massage parlor-type place was a pachinko parlor on the outskirts of my hometown.

His cover of the Rolling Stone's Brown Sugar is pretty good too. An excerpt from his blog: Even though I'm a ukulele player I don't own a Hawaiian shirt. It's not like anybody made a rule that if you play the ukulele you have to wear one. I never wanted one so I've never bought one. But this [...]

I can still remember when Tony was a baby who only knew how to drool, eat, sleep and poop his diaper. Now he surfs the web all by himself. He even knows how to switch the keyboard to Japanese input mode and type out words in romaji. I have no idea how or when he [...]

By far, the best thing about having kids is the hugs. It more than makes up for the all the lights left on, the water pitchers and ice cube trays left empty, and the pee left on toilet seats. Sponsored By: GD Language Programs Virtual Fair

I think this might be the funniest video I’ve seen on YouTube. Someone lovingly remixed a few scenes from the first Star Wars movie with audio snippets from other James Earl Jones movies. A lot of work must have gone into this, and the tie fighter scenes at the end are the best part. What’s [...]

In 2005, Stephen Wiltshire, an autistic British artist, toured Tokyo by foot, bus and helicopter, then drew the entire city from memory. (Like Motoki, at age three he still wasn’t talking.) You can see the entire panorama here. I watched the YouTube video with the volume off. From the comments it sounds like the voiceover is [...]

You’ll, ah, want to listen to this with headphones. The people around you might not be as in tune as you to the deep and profound wisdom in the message. I can just picture all the people in the control booth and behind the cameras, completely speechless.Maybe you can tell, but I have the utmost respect [...]
