I started writing this whimsical little obit for the good Dr Hofmann, –and it turned into this whole History-of-LSD post… because the more I Googled for references, the fewer I found.

I realized, OMG!–I AM THE HISTORY NOW! (((shocked oldster voice))) When did THAT happen?

So, it’s a personal and social history, too–hope everyone enjoys it. :)

I’ve heard it claimed (though never seen the original research backing this claim) that there actually is a genetic element to fundamentalism.

I recently recieved a box of old Sunday comics section from 10-15 years ago. I scanned a few on my blog

And sure, why not. There’s this progressive-themed blog called Blue Herald and every once in a while, one of its bloggers does a feature called “Right Wing Cartoon Watch.” It’s exactly what the name implies.

I actually respect some of the cartoonists he showcases (I interviewed one of them for my blog), but it’s still pretty amusing.
