The Men Who Stare At Goats

[Grislygus]

I imagine most of you have all read this already, but but just in case some of you haven't, this book is awesome.

Exploring "hidden military history" and "the most whacked-out corners of George W. Bush's War on Terror", it covers everything from secret space agencies to the "reactivated" supersecret psychic government agent Uri Geller. It's quite a read.

I haven't heard of it :O

Read it. It starts off a little wierd, then it just devolves into complete silliness. It's like the political equivalent of the Weekly World News.

i h8 the weekly world news.

[Grislygus]

So do I. But when it's in "official" book form (one that was praised by various legitimate news magazines, no less) it instantly becomes interesting.

Besides... Uri Geller.

Who's Uri Geller?

[Grislygus]

One of the more endearing 'psychic' sheisters of our time.

i saw a psychic once and i just had the feeling that smoke was being blown up my asshole but not coming out my mouth and that's not a very good magic trick at all.
