• Commented on Hemp for Victory: 1940s US Gov. Film Urging Folks to Grow Tons of Weed
  Holy crap - I uploaded this video years ago and later realized there were other versions already out there. Didn't expect it to be picked up by BoingBoing years later. Sweet! Oh, government - how you shine with hypocrisy. Remember...
• Commented on <em>Arcade Mania</em> by Brian Ashcraft and Jean Snow
  Being at Ground Kontrol in Portland just this past weekend, and seeing the packed house they had, I would hardly say that they were "dead". It's like saying that bookstores are dead. People who read go to bookstores. People who...
• Commented on Schmuck Alert - videos of people interfering with media
  Regardless of whether or not the photojournalist covering a school event "hit" his car intentionally or unintentionally with her elbow - that officer is out of control and clearly has anger issues. Notice the 3-4 times he tries to change...
• Commented on Gentleman insists he's not a "douchebag," sues book publisher
  I think a lot of people here are missing a simple and obvious flaw to most of the complaints in the suit: The author of the book did not take any of the pictures in question. If you know (from...
• Commented on A VERY DELICATE TIME
  The show in Portland last night was BRILLIANT. I would suggest finding the appearance that you will make that will be closest to one that they will make and attempting to fly/run/hobo on over to see it. Worth every penny....

• Commented on Esozone this weekend in Portland
  #11, #9 - Yes. The Dark Age. New Age religiosity. Feel free to stay far away. They don't want you there anyways. Have fun with your global economic meltdown. We'll be having much more fun with the mental meltdowns....
• Commented on Hard questions for Palin on billboard opposite LA rally site
  #4 - I'm sure that she'll stop being fodder for BoingBoing once she stops spouting such nonsensical, wonderful and deranged word-salad. It's interesting and topical. There's a good reason BB is covering this kind of stuff. If you don't like...
• Commented on Esozone this weekend in Portland
  Already bought my weekend pass for Esozone. It's going to be brilliant! If only you were going, Richard. Huge fan of your work and you would make an awesome addition to the speakers-list. But seriously everyone - look at this...
• Commented on Large Hadron Collider hasn't sucked us into a black hole (yet)
  From what I understand - they have yet to actually collide anything yet. That apparently will not be taking place until October. So - keep your britches on everyone. We've still got a way to go 'til #doomsday....

• Commented on Bush administration wants Europeans' family details, the right to put armed officials on European planes, and a pre-approval for European visitors
  #6 - Don't think its over that easily. Not only has a left a terrible reputation, but he has also left it so that whoever takes over can do much worse without much work at all....
• Commented on <i>Star Wars</i> Toys That Were Not to Be
  I would totally go for those Galactic Game Trophies hanging on the wall. "Oh that old thing? I bulls-eyed it in my T-14."...

  As #2 pointed out, reminds me of some old Mao posters....
• Commented on Reports of 5th undersea 'net cable cut
  @31 - "Also, 4-7 cables severed all in one area of the world. That is not events clustering together, it is not coincidence or a "sea-monster". It is very clearly an intentional act of sabotage by someone." Thank you. I...
• Commented on Robert J. Shea's SHIKE released with CC
  Mike - I've sent a .PDF copy of Illuminatus! your way. I greatly appreciate you releasing this copy of Shike. And any work you could get towards getting Illuminatus! to the public is something that I can get behind. I...

  Jeff said, "The fact that my country was attacked is valid, and that event changed a lot of people. Don't try and discount it, please. I'm someone who lost a friend, a man who was turned to dust by an...

• Commented on FBI buries docs showing US officials stole nuke secrets?
  There was an article about this a while ago in the New York Times - must have been around 2-3 years ago. It was on page 15...at the bottom...2 paragraphs...under a half-page ad....

• Commented on Los Alamos surplus documentary online
  This will possibly become one of my favorite mini-documentaries. It combines many interesting subjects - all rolled into one and regurgitated by an interesting elderly man. Surplus stores, the nuclear science business, and old men with money. What more can...
