Paul Ryan tells a tale of a fishing trip.
I went fishing with a couple of buddies. We were hanging out in nice New England town. It was an Island. A resort town called Amity Island. One of my buddies was a crusty old barnacle that was wise in …
Hello The Prospect. This is Cormac McCarthy.
I am calling to offer you the austere chill ushered in by a temporary retreat from societal expectations. The company I represent specializes in epicurean travel and respite from the shrieking madness of the autistic universe and you know something as this economy slouches towards the apocalypse we are offering the absolute best services for the absolute lowest prices. (deep breath) But I am not calling you to sell anything today. If …
Evolution is the process by which grammatical and stylistic mutations that enhance the appeal of fiction become more common in populations of writers.
Zaius Reads – A Publishing Evolution
Natural selection in evolution follows from three facts:
- Extreme variations in talent and skill exist within populations of writers.

As is typical of Federation bureaucracy, this proposal usurps the constitution to solve a problem–if it existed, which I don’t believe it does–that would be …
Speeding in Post-Paul Alabama – One Way Ticket to Hunger Games.
License and registration, ma’am.
I’m afraid you were going 55 in a 65 speed zone.
