Linkspam: good and evil edition
The Hathor Legacy has just completed a fantastic series of posts about Stephen King's Dolores Claiborne.
Also, WTF, I had no idea that Kigankai was "based" in Nagano City. Hmm, shows what I know. And "just north of Tokyo" is more like a five-hour drive even going at 110 km/h the whole way (*cough*). And yes, I know that 400 police officers was overkill. But this is Nagano-ken, and our police officers have nothing to do. It's not unusual for five or six squad cars to show up even when there's a minor traffic accident, because really, they have NOTHING better to do. I wish I could feel angry about 400 police officers raiding an entirely female group centered around fluffy-sounding concepts like "healing medicine," but really, Kigankai is just about as benevolent as Scientology. Which is to say, NOT. And I hate to pass judgement before I've heard all of the facts, but Okuno's death sounds awfully similar to the death of Lisa McPherson. Ugh.
And now, for some good news. And this is some REALLY good news.

I know on the campuses- they're worried as hell about the superbug, so that could be a reason. My gf is paranoid about it. She accidentally scratched it yesterday and she almost turned me into a mummy out of fear of infection. ^_^
It is a busy news cycle though: the Turks are beginning another campaign of genocide, California's burning up as bad as I've ever remembered, politics- it might just be that it's on the backburner- but it should at least be on CNN.com
