The “10cc’s ‘Things We Do For Love’ extended mix post” post (from the protein wisdom conceptual series)
1. walking through the rain
2. and the snow
3. looking for the answer in her eyes
4. agree to disagree
5. disagree to part
6. pay $250 a week for couple’s counseling
7. liven things up in the bedroom by, eg., asking her to bring another woman into the bed, or to dress like the Swiss Miss girl and yodel around your mountain tip
8. try X together
9. be daring: begin with shoplifting; progress to murdering vagrants
10. find out where all ex-boyfriends/girlfriends are living; systematically have them beaten up
11. adopt your partner’s religion — even if it means wearing a funny hat, or eating strange porridges
12. Or –
13. you know what?
14. fuck it. Plenty of fish in the sea, pal.
15. why tie yourself down to some crazy, needy bitch / asshole whom you never really respected to begin with?
16. Hey, you in the jean jacket! Wanna get naked and bump uglies? And don’t worry. I ain’t lookin’ for a relationship…
The “Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa at last distilled to its enigmatic essence” post (from the protein wisdom conceptual series)
I don’t get it.
Darned if I didn’t always think that it was an escaped toboggan … in the snow.
Is that second one like all one sentence?
That third one is a work of art.
This one here still creeps me out. It’s like the eyes follow me around the room…

17. Mandy Pandy and her promise up above me.
I never trusted that bitch with the smirk.
I second Diana. Who knew Mona Lisa’s enigmatic essence was a toboggan?
Learn something every day.
Di … it was a snow job.
I’m reminded why I love this blog so much.
Commies complain of election rigging, Putin takes it in the ear anyway. Who knew Pootie-Poot wasn’t a Commie?
More academic misadventures. Mankiw at Harvard teaches plain vanilla economics 101. The spoiled brats can’t have that, and of course the many leagues removed intellectual facilitators want to make sure that only a re-branded Marxist analysis is ever taught. Mankiw goes to the NY Times op-ed page to hold the little dear’s hands, have to make sure their self-esteem is maintained (I applaud the protesters for thinking beyond their own parochial concerns and trying to make society a better place for everyone.). After making his case for an ideology free study of economics, Mankiw asks his #OccupySomethingOtherThanSchool students to come back and school him (A few might choose to become economic researchers themselves. Their contributions will surely be welcome.). After Mankiw’s resounding defense of his intellectual and professional core, the NY Times helpfully inserts this bio blurb:
To the Times, that is all their readers need to know about Mr. Mankiw.
And, it’s revealing to see the kind of fearless, resolute, principled leadership Romney looks for in his team.

Damn, I’m dying here!

[…] Back in the earlier days of the blogosphere, when John Hawkins (now of Townhall) was taking polls and giving out blog awards, protein wisdom routinely finished in the top one or two in best original content — mostly because I mixed the politics with political satire and other surreal bits, from doggerel poetry to on-running narratives about my driveway neighbor, an ornery armadillo, Islamists in bunkers or a CIA-affiliated dolphin. The Martha Stewart Chronicles were particularly well received; and along with my “interviews” (most famously I suppose with Ted Kennedy), my convention coverage (which fooled some smarmy writer at Salon into sneering at the level of “right wing amateur journalism”), and short fictions, my site took on the reputation of a kind of strange, cultish entity, one where readers could find dissertations on the nature of language, hermeneutics, interpretation theory, and the post-structural attempt to decouple meaning from originary agency — which I would illustrate leads without fail to the institution of cultural assertions and kernel rhetorical and linguistic assumptions that promote, and then finally entrench, tyranny — coupled with “commentary” from washed-up celebrities, discussions with Kleagle hoods, and things like, eg., “the pinball post.” […]
