Atkins hesitation, 10
Today’s lunch: an 18-ounce tenderized veal cutlet, rolled in a mixture of 2 eggs (beaten), 4 tbsp melted butter, white pepper, and fresh oregano—pan-seared in chorizo fat and wrapped in 8 strips hickory smoked bacon. With a raw red and green pepper medley. Let the pound-shedding begin!

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: Glenn Reynolds paid it $20 to watch it “shake that sweet little chicken ass for me, you nasty fowl bitch.”
“Graduation”: a protein wisdom short fiction
One chicken was dead. Its head was oddly twisted, stuck between the rusty wires of a knee-high fence. Its eyes, such as they were, fixed on nothing. The other chickens pranced by it occasionally, but they had long ago forgotten about the dead chicken.

The staffer for Senator Mike DeWine who got her moment of fame by writing an anonymous blog about her sexual exploits with various political types? Well, her book—a “fictionalized” account of her story—has just been published, but she faces a lawsuit for invading the privacy of one of her many sexual partners
University of Colorado Ethnic Studies professor and anti-American firebrand Ward Churchill and 70s Kung-fu expert and counterculture icon Billy Jack discuss the social and aesthetic eventualities of Billy’s imminent return to the silver screen
“I don’t know, Billy. I think you’re taking an awful big chance coming out of retirement like this. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s not you—you’re still the man. It’s the medium, brother. Film. Today’s anti-authoritarian social texts, such as they are, take the form of video games and graphic novels. Movies these days are all about packaging and commodification. The only artistic thing about them is the marketing.”*

Another moment of unabashed pragmatism
Always leave ‘em wanting more. Unless, that is, you have no stake in what they want—in which case, whatever.
