I am subscribed to humor mailing list. The below story was recently received via that list: Subject: Gas PainsOne Man's Good Fight I went grocery shopping recently while not being altogether sure that course of action was a wise one. You see, the previous evening I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented "You're definitely going to $h!t yourself" chili. Tasty stuff, albeit hot to the point of being painful, which comes with a written guarantee from me that if you eat the next day both of your a$$ cheeks WILL fall off. Here's the thing. I had awakened that morning, and even after two cups of coffee (and all of you know what I mean) nothing happened. No "Watson's Movement 2." Despite habanera peppers swimming their way through my intestinal tract, I appeared

Remember Margaret Seltzer? She wrote a "memoir" claiming she grew up in South Central Los Angeles and ran with gangs, although she grew up privileged and actually went to private school.Well, this is a video that was going to be used to promote the book, which has some of the worst acting I've ever seen. She's got a really severe case of the wiggers.How can you watch this video and not think this woman is either a shameless opportunist or just completely bonkers? Authors, please refrain from exploiting those less fortunate than you for your own personal benefit.It's bad enough when I see rappers who grew up well-off pretend to be thugs, but seeing some chick who looks like one of the trust-fund kids I see here in New York everyday going all gangsta is just plain ridiculous.

The Seminal is honored to welcome writer, activist, and semi-professional pain-in-the-ass to right-wing talk show hosts Mike Stark to our pages. From his bio:
Mike Stark is an creative opportunist and entrepreneurial activist with a personality disorder that regularly compels him to confront and shame bad guys. George Allen, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and…oh, yeah…Bill O'Reilly…and many others have spent nights lying awake wishing Stark hadn't been born.
When Stark isn't pissing off the right-wing uglies, he's probably playing with one of his two young children or sitting in a law school classroom.
Yep, that's Mike with Michelle Malkin. He's funny too!
Look out for more of Mike's work to come in the near future. In the meantime, say hi everyone!

I posted a new article on Almost Fit today that includes a few resources on identifying what "Real Food" is these days.

One of the books that I just received today on such things is by Robert Arbor, the owner of the Le Gamin restaurants in the Northeast, entitled Joie de Vivre. It is essentially about some of the little things in life that the French do to add a layer of quality, texture, and satisfaction to their everyday existence; things that are so often overlooked in our fast-paced culture.

'Alwan called on the Arab world to acknowledge the Jews' right to Palestine, because justice demanded it and also because doing so would end the violence and the killing of Arabs, as well as intra-Arab strife. He added that such a move would also open up new avenues for the Arab world that would be more consistent with the values and needs of modern society.'Alwan writes that the Arab League is to blame for the refusal to recognize the 1947 U.N. partition plan, for starting a war to prevent its implementation, and for the results of that war, which the Arabs call the Nakba (disaster). He points an accusing finger at the Arab regimes, the Arab League, and the educated circles in the Arab world, saying that they had all used the term "nakba" to direct popular consciousness toward a cultural

They haven't left him alone since "Gomorrah" – his fierce critique of the Neapolitan mafia, the Camorra – hit best-seller lists in October 2006, bringing fame, fortune, and some powerful and ruthless enemies.

GamePolitics reports that Blizzard is claiming that World of Warcraft bot author Michael Donnelly has made a cool $2.8 million by selling his Glider software. This comes from recent motions filed in court. Glider is a downloadable software that automatically plays the game for the user, letting players go up to level 70 without much personal effort. Donnelly, its author, was sued by Blizzard in February 2007 and both sides have been locked in a legal battle since then. “Blizzard’s designs expectations are frustrated, and resources are allocated unevenly, when bots are introduced into the WoW universe, because bots spend far more time in-game than an ordinary player would and consume resources the entire time,” said the company in a legal statement. Interestingly, Donnelly claims th
ABOUT THE AUTHOR The Early Years EJ (as his friends call him) spent the first eight years of his life on a family estate near Ashton, Southern Africa, consisting of three farms, namely: Stockwell, Karpad and Waterfall. Moving from here with his mother, father and younger brother to, first, Ashton and thereafter, Robertson.

Until about four years ago, Chetan Bhagat was an investment banker who was distinguished from the suited phalanx of his colleagues in this city's crowded financial district only by his secret hobby. While others planned weekend excursions on the golf course, Bhagat, then employed by Goldman Sachs, indulged a passion for writing, laboring in his private time on a racy and comedic little novel about life on the campus of an elite college in his native India. In the early morning before going to the office he would work on draft after draft of the book, trying to get it right. He did 15 drafts in all. He almost gave up when publishers kept turning him down. Today, Bhagat is still an investment banker, now with Deutsche Bank. But he has also become the biggest-selling English-language novel
Sorry for the bullyish title. I just can't resist it ;-)

The author of the book, What Does a Progressive Christian Believe? commented on the post I gave to this book. I want to make sure his comment doesn't get lost, so here it is: John, thank you for setting aside your discomfort with the title long enough to read my book. Thanks even more for the review (forwarded to me by a friend). As you quickly gathered from the Preface, by "a" progressive Christian I meant "this one, the author," but that was not clear from the title alone, I know.You and your readers might be interested in the discussion of the book forthcoming shortly in the March/April issue of The Progressive Christian.Thank you, too, for your progressive Christian leadership where it counts. You and your colleagues in parishes are the ones making the difference. I hope some of th
