* Rev. Wright is Obama's priest, now denounced by the candidate. William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn might pose a bigger problem though. A few "independent" tv commercials portraying Obama as a "terrorist" will no doubt appear, based on his association with former members of The Weather Underground. Come November, he has no chance in hell at getting elected. Read about the connection here and here // Weather Underground documentary

Bizarrism #10 out now! Chris Mikul was kind enough to send me his latest issue of the unique zine BIZARRISM out of New South Wales, Australia.
This mag is only published once a year or even rarer, so it has taken more than 10 years to reach this 10th issue. Issues 5 thru 9 are still available and are highly recommended.
In this issue you'll find:
-- Fave Dictators #4: IDI AMIN (+ bonus dictator Saparmurat Niyazov)
-- The Tale of painter Anthony Langdon
-- The Murder Mystery surrounding Eloise Baroness Wagner de Bosquet
-- The Horse Mutilator of Albany
-- The Strange Life & Works of "Authoress" Amanda M. Ros
-- Who Was Ladislav Klima?
-- Death, indeterminancy and Claudine Longet
-- The Birdman of Kings Cross
-- Book Reviews
One of the best articles is the mind-boggling tale of the Collyer brothers, who collected thousands of newspapers and other stuff, rigged with booby traps. Until they both died in their own impenetrable maze, giving name to the "Collyer syndrome", also known as disposophobia.
Always interesting, original and highly readable, you owe it to yourself to check out Bizarrism.
