The / Manchurian Candidate / in another demographic

Project artichoke was a CIA 
mind control program which
sought to determine if a sub-
ject under the influence of one
of many drugs could be made
to carry out an assassination.

A line from Stieg Larsson

Bruce Lee said it best — "Your 
coding is fine, but acrylic media 
are going to be your new best 
friend now it's your turn to ball-

room dance. Threats will come 
without fail, especially if the trans-
fer involves genetically modified 
material. It's why toddlers — un-

able to afford even a discounted 
DVD from Australia's leading on-
line bookstore — watch how their 
parents behave, & try to imitate it."

Atmospherics

Then the lights came on; &,
in the glare, a handful of 
singers squabbling over
who was the first to use
those lyrics in a song.
