The American Experience: Smoking big ol' doinks in the Amish with Young King Dave. He smells rank but he's very generous with the doinks.

I've been *****ing that a certain antipsychotic that I won't name to avoid the appearance of endorsement threw me bad dreams every. Single. Night.

Last night President Trump was showing me his collection of Song dynasty jades, which was highly plush: scores of exquisitely-articulated maximum-value figurines of dogs, elephants, waterfowl, water buffalo, chimeras, horses, cong (ritual hollow cylinders embedded in a partial segmented rectangular block) and bi (ritual perforated discs). Who would have thought that Donald Trump had such sophisticated taste in jades? He's reportedly affirmatively racist towards Jews, surrounding himself with Jewish lawyers, accountants, executives,
advisors, staff and son-in-law and puts his pimp hand down for Israel; he probably retained an elite bipolar Jewish jade dealer (most are, trust me) to find him the good stuff. He was very friendly and cared about what I had to say. I spoke to him with respect, but never thought to call him "Mr. President". I can't decide if this had been a bad dream or not.

A solar flare may have postponed North Korea's anticipated ICBM launch. Disappointed. Oahu hosts Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and the Army Jungle Warfare School. We could catch a Rodong. I miss the era of the Taepodong, which promised fewer possible local catastrophic outcomes.

God protect those in Irma's path. The television sensationalists aren't telling you that the storm is weakening and could conceivably miss Florida altogether. Florida's highway infrastructure wasn't designed to accommodate the evacuation of 6.2 million. Millions of vehicles heading north bumper-to-bumper until they run out of gas which isn't available at thousands of depleted stations sounds like a special kind of hell.

I read that Japan was done and only negotiating the fate of their emperor when the atomics dropped and the real motivation of the first nuclear attacks was to scare the Christ out of the Soviets. That's a lot of lives sacrificed for technological intimidation. Someone was still pretty upset about Pearl Harbor. Only a few years ago, the Russians declassified never-before-seen airborne footage of the devastation of Hiroshima, so we did get their attention.

Front side of US Office of War Information notice #2106, dubbed the “LeMay bombing leaflet,” a psychological warfare document delivered to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and 33 other Japanese cities on 1 August 1945. The kanji printed in the circles surrounding the bombers are intended target cities.

Several of my Japanese-American friends' parents were imprisoned in the camps. I found a kobijutsu gallery in Omotesando that reverently displayed an ordinary white oblong porcelain serving dish with gilded edges and a swastika in the center.

Speaking of Nazis, my father refused to purchase a German-made car. The Nazis killed far more Poles in my family than Jews.
