“My friend Kenny, the socialist” (a protein wisdom micro fiction)

     “So. You’re eating a sandwich,” Kenny said, sitting down in the chair across from mine.      I barely looked up. “Yes, Kenny. I’m eating a sandwich. That I made this morning. And brought with me to work. For my lunch.”      Kenny smiled, grabbing one of my napkins. “Cool,” he said. “I’ll take my half now, then. I’m freakin’ starving!” ~finis~

“George Voinovich calls Barack Obama a ‘socialist'”

In it, the Democratic presidential nominee, who’s leading in most recent political polls, still bemoans the existence of Fox News because he feels he’d be doing even better in

The Mainstreaming of Bill Ayers

It took them 40 years, a new strategy of insinuating themselves into the existing power structure, and the perfect storm of GOP excess and a polished, true-believer front man of the right hue and temperament to play to Americans’ desires for novelty and “change,” but the New Left — a group who once openly despised bourgeois “liberals” but who now claims to represent them (erroneously, of course: there is nothing

Day 5: Still no reply from YouTube

And still no notification that my account has been suspended. As I noted before, this was no small account: I’d cut, titled, and uploaded 49 videos, all of which I wrote the descriptions for. I set up a youtube channel, including a personalized logo and custom color scheme. The channel had, in 6 months, garnered close to 400 subscribers and had received very positive feedback from grapplers and those interested
