"While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus," said Miyuki Hatoyama.

People of Walmart
Some say that the People of Walmart blog makes fun of misfits. And they're right. But if you ignore the unkind captions, the blog is interesting, like a kind of modern Secret Museum of Mankind. I'm marveling at these photos of human beings in all their diverse splendor. Here's a CNN piece about t... More.
Pfizer abandons property it won in Supreme Court housing battle
Remember the June 2005 Supreme Court eminent domain ruling that gave Pfizer Pharmaceutical the right to bulldoze a housing neighborhood in Connecticut to make way for a $300 million private development project? Some of the homeowners didn't want to give up their homes but Pfizer took them to c... More.

The math: $50k advance, half of it lost to agent and other costs, and even bestseller royalties d... More.

She didn't visit Venus; only her soul did. What's more, she said she only thinks her soul did, implying she's not entirely sure.
I wonder if this is in any way connected to Nancy Reagan's astrologist.
Apparently the Obamas recently hosted a visit with Serena Williams, but no Venus.
It is funny (and telling) that someone else immediately thought of Nancy Reagan. She seems to have spent a LOT of time on some other planet.
I totally did that a few times, too.
Hey, it was the Clinton years, and I was in college.
The part that amuses me is where she sais: "My current husband has a different way of thinking,he would surely say 'Oh, that's great'."
That is the proof that Japan new Prime Minister is ready to raise the national production of Weird Shit and Strange Memes.
And that´s great,
Interplanetary travel is not unfamiliar with Japan's Royal/Political Eilte history. During "The Ghidorah Event" of 1964, Princess Selina Saino of Selgina was reported to have travelled to Venus to bring warnings of future disaster. This foreknowledge prevented the total destruction of Mt. Fuji by nature's monster forces.
That's okay, Bush and Cheney both visited Uranus.
Hey, I just watched that episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000! There was an Asian lady or two on that ship...

Godzilla is real too...
Another report says she used to work at a Japanese restaurant in San Francisco. I wonder if I've ordered ramen and crazy from her before.
She rode a triangle to venus? *nudge*nudge*wink*wink*
Most world leaders spend time on another planet: it is called Planet Extreme Privilege.
Curiously it doesn't look like there are Japanese news sites picking this up. Just Chinese and Reuters from my albeit limited search. What gives?
world leaders doing astral projection? sounds like the age of aquarius is dawning. hail 2012!
Man, some of you people make it seem like there's something wrong with being a nut.
Man... the Japanese always get the best technology. They're landing on frelling Venus and in North America we still can't get a goddam cel phone with a 5 megapixel camera.
Oh man, the Japanese press are having a field-day with this story! They're calling her the "The Woman Who Came From Space". Especially weird is that her husband's nickname is "Alien".
#13: You're not looking hard enough! It's front page news in all the weeklies! If you can read Japanese here's a start:

A lot of coverage in the Japanese "serious press" seems to be about foreign reactions to this space stuff.

Check, please.
Yes, Hatoyama Miyuki loves new-age-things such as UFO, God, prophesy or anything.
Actually, Miyuki has been regular contributor of Mu (http://www.gakken.co.jp/mu/) , a Japanese newage magazine which loves conspiracy, prohecy, lost high technologies in anciant industry or anything.
Also, one of the interview article tells Yukio also loves new age staff such as Mantra or Meditaion.

See? Our new primeminister is a really really funny guy.
It's true. I was there.
Don't get me started on these crazies.
What's up with the election this year?
The "Happiness Realization Party" (kofukujitsugento - the Happy Science cult turned party who whitewashes their Wikipedia page regularly) is bad enough... but the Minshuto under Hatoyama (or political scandal tainted scuz-bucket Ozawa) is even more frightening - even if you don't include Hatoyama's ding-dong wife in the equation.
Irresponsible embezzlement sloppily blamed on subordinates, cutting up the national flag to make a frankenstein version of their own Minshuto flag for rallies, and a national policy that will eventually reduce Japan to a minor Chinese colony in the next half-century.
Sure, The Jiminto are unlikable dullards who can't get anything done... but sometimes doing nothing is what a government does best.
Sigh, where's Torihada Minoru when his country needs him most?
