Comparing Clinton to Pachinko Parlors

[Lisa & Ian Murray]

Pachinko Parlors are where Businessmen (I don't know if they let women in
there now, they weren't allowed in the 70's when I lived there as a kid)
play the equivalent of pinball while getting drunk on sake and eating cheap
sushi.  The sound of literally millions of balls in play in a parlor is
truly hipnagogic....mass entrainment - not entertainment -  of brains with
soporific effects.
