Obama Bows to Japanese Emperor

It seems the US president Barack Obama remains under strict scrutiny from the right wing, the Democrats. Now there’s a lot of discussion because the picture entitled: Obama bows to Japanese Emperor. Check out the picture below:

Right-Wing news channel, Fox, claims the move was a “bad form”, because this greeting means weakness and deference. But well, in Japan the bow is a version of the handshake. I’ve seen it many times, whenever two Japanese businessmen meet they bow as salutation. This is what the Obama administration explained.

Does this sounds to you like another lame excuse to attack Obama? Ordo you think Barakc obama should have greeted Akihito the occidental way? Does it makes sense to keep talking about this picture?

Is There Water on The Moon? YES!

After NASA’s attempt to find water on the Moon, many people are asking the question “Is there water on the Moon?”. Over the years many theories have raised about this matter, and many people were sure that with a little exploration, water could be found. Well, this week, NASA issued an official answer for the question:

Nasa has found ‘a significant amount’ of water inside a crater on the Moon in a discovery that could pave the way for the first manned lunar base. The agency announced that last month’s audacious attempt to smash two spacecraft into the Moon’s rocky surface to find ice was a major success. The £49million bombing raid threw up a mile-high plume of dust - which included chunks of ice locked away in a deep crater at the lunar south pole. The bottom of the crater had not seen sunlight for billions of years.

Quick answer? YES. So, is the moon ready for human settlements?

Portland Marijuana Cafe

Portland is the home of the first U.S. Marijuana café, it is called “The Cannabis Cafe”. They are the first in giving certified patients this herb and allow them to smoke it as long as they are not in public’s view. But that’s not all, currently there is a federal ban for this type of activity!

The café could be seen as a private club, but any Oregon resident, member of NORML and with a proper card can go to this café, located in what it used to be an adult erotic club.

“There are about 21,000 patients registered to use marijuana for medical purposes in Oregon. Doctors have prescribed marijuana for a host of illnesses, including Alzheimer’s, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and Tourette’s syndrome.”

Oregon has adopted medical marijuana laws. As you may remember, the government told federal attorneys not to prosecute patients who use marijuana for medical reasons or dispensaries in states which have legalized them.
