Boredoms’ EYE sends a hello from Japan to Seattle and The Stranger. I asked him:

Who do you think should be president of the USA?
EYE: I think Barack Obama would make the better leader. It seems that his opponent wants to scare the people of your country and not lead them. I do not understand the Republicans, they do not seem to know the planet has limited resources. They spent all your money on this war for oil and now they wonder where the money went. Yet in the face of it all the oil companies make record profits. And your president is an oil man. I do not hear or read about anyone talking about that.

What do people in Japan think about McCain?
I am mostly in Osaka. Bush is not a liked person. We think McCain would be another Bush.

Did you enjoy the The Kweeks Of Kookatumdee book that I sent you?
Yes very much. I have since found The Wump World. Creatures of simple grass eating and grazing. Then Pollutions from the planet of Pollutus come to the Wump’s calm planet. The Pollutions have destroyed and ruined their own world. Pollutions want to start a new life in this new planet of Wumps. Resources are plentiful on Wump and Pollutions want them. Pullutions will destroy Wump. Pollutions are like Republicans.
