1994. Had a scrape with an overconfident colony of imperialist fire ants, whose swarming army of segmented maneaters—abdominal sacs flush with alkaloid venom—I managed to thwart with a can of non-stick cooking spray and the brass Zippo my buddy Dave gave me as a going away present in advance of my moving out west. Ordinarily, of course, I would have dusted my arms and calves with crumbled kieselgur and confronted
We realize it’s your wife’s birthday, but is there any way you can maybe find the time to coax—

And be honest: how many of you would actually dig seeing a nipple-pierced armadillo in a leather thong and matching wrist gauntlets nose his way out of a homemade tiramisu pie, shake the mascarpone cheese off his tail scales, and then—after a series of poorly executed Fred Berry-esque drop splits—lie down on a dessert plate, panting and

Man, you had best be mobbed up, is all I have to say—because otherwise, you’re about to be poured over ice into a highball glass, stuffed with cherries and orange slices, and turned into some poncy Sangria, then locked into a refrigerator with a bunch of rowdy Guinness draughts.

“I agree with Harry Belafonte and Cindy Sheehan that I am the world’s greatest terrorist. I’d have to go some to emulate my idols—Joe, Mao and Adolf—but a fella’s gotta start somewhere.”
Larry Elder offers up “The (blue) State of the Union address.” A taste: My fellow Americans, I am evil. I only care about rich people, and rich people only care about other rich people—unless, of course, your name is Kennedy. In fact, it is misleading to say that I only care about the rich. I truly only care about Republican, white, Christian males who are rich. I would say that
