The repentant former KKK leader Johnny Lee Clary explains how Reverend Wade Watts, an NAACP leader, disarmed him by being cool, funny and brave, engaging in some first-rate psy-ops. Be sure to listen through to the end for the chicken story.

Apropos of nothing in particular, if anyone out there hasn’t spent some time reading Ben Wallace-Wells’s masterful Rolling Stone feature detailing America’s failed war on drugs, they should change that. Print it out and read it over lunch. You can even feel smug in the knowledge that it’s a whole lot better than anything on Obama’s summer reading list.

MUST SEE THIS! The book was such a good read.
The Men Who Stare At Goats is UK journalist Jon Ronson’s terrific, absurd, scary, and funny nonfiction book about the United States military’s weird experiments with psychic spying, “Jedi” powers, subliminal sound weapons, and, er, the ability to kill an animal just by looking at it (hence the title). The book is coming to the big screen November 6 in the form of a dark comedy starring Ewan McGregor, George Clooney, and Jeff Bridges. What fun!
