Found a show that the Travel Channel has called Deadly Possessions.  It's apparently about a guy that is collecting infamous objects to put on display in his "museum".  The Dibbuk Box and Robert the Haunted Doll are featured in the first episode.

... that it doesn't matter what political party that you support, the person that you support has been bought and paid for?

And it's been going on for some time now?

I mean fuck... the whole thing with bullshit happening under Bush 43 and continuing with Obama should have tipped you off on that.

It's set up so that if a guy that agree with the buyer's leanings gets in... shit goes down in the way that they want.  But if the other guy gets in... then the bets are hedged so at least some of the stuff will continue.

"I am determined to elect a president of our choosing this year and one who will be deeply indebted, and who will recognize his indebtedness. Since I am willing to go beyond all limitations on this, I think we should be able to select a candidate and a party who knows the facts of political life....If we select Nixon, then he, I know for sure knows the facts of life." -- from handwritten memos by Howard Hughes, early in the 1968 presidential campaign

There's a couple on YouTube, but not much at all.  The first one he did with Art is mistitled, and there's one he did with Ian about the Quran.  CTCAM website has him being on quite a bit over the years.  Anyone know where to find any of these?

I was surprised to see that he was going to be on the show tonight.  Anyone out hear ever hear of him?  He's considered to be one of the world's top experts in the field of mushrooms.  Tonight's show could go in many directions.  Some mushrooms have anticancer and other health benefits.  I've heard he's helped the gov't with finding mushrooms that remove radiation out of soil.  He wrote The Mushroom Cultivator, which is considered the "bible" for amateur mushroom growers.  He also wrote Mycelium Running: 6 Ways Mushrooms Can Save The World.  And yes, this could also go the Terence McKenna route...
