This recipe is quite easy to throw together. You’re hardly doing more than just opening up cans of things and dumping them into a pot. It contains a couple weirdo ingredients I myself would never have entertained using: “Taco Seasoning” & powdered Ranch dressing. (Who the hell buys crap like that?) But it turns out [...]

Yemen’s Salta
Salta is a dish that does not, to my knowledge, exist anywhere beyond Yemen. (Though I’ve heard you can get it in Dearborn, Michigan, a town with a high concentration of Yemeni people.) Salta is nothing but a fairly simple stew, containing vegetables and bits of meat. It’s traditionally eaten, not with utensils, but by [...]

Books of short stories by Tatsumi
Looks like they’re putting out material by Tatsumi on a chronological plan. Each book below represents material from a stretch of 1 or 2 yrs. I like the design for this series. These are really pleasing hardcover books. You might be able to check them out from a local library – but they’re worth buying [...]

Yoshihiro Tatsumi
Tatsumi wasn’t well known in North America until his work started appearing in English translation several years ago. But he’s apparently been known to Japanese audiences for decades. The Canadian company Drawn & Quarterly has come out with five different Tatsumi volumes since 2005. D&Q appear to be issuing new Tatsumi volumes on approximately an [...]

A “Textbook Case” of Thought Control
There’s a pro-torture statement in the following college-level English textbook: Evergreen: A Guide to Writing with Readings, 8th edition, by Susan Fawcett, Houghton Mifflin, 2006, pp. 576-578. The statement is entitled “The Case for Torture” and is credited to a Michael Levin (described in Wikipedia as “a libertarian philosophy professor at City University of New [...]

Miscellaneous Reflections on US Politics …
or: “A Comprehensive Manifesto on American Political Life” It’s true that Democrats and Republicans are little more than two feuding factions of the same corporatist political establishment. But there could be actual differences between them, inasmuch as they aspire to inflict slightly different kinds of grievous damage on society. Both parties claim to champion [...]

USA: CRAZYWORLD! — Episode 3
This time, we’re exploring the personal costs tied to intensive AM listening. A harrowed waif stands poised at the precipice of madness, but receives the consoling tones of a caring “life coach” or similar figure. A lesson in hard realities. Questions to ponder: Does the young waif actually in fact swear off AM listening? Is that his own hand switching [...]

USA: CRAZYWORLD! — Episode 2
aI guess you have to make at least two of something before it can be technically called a “series.” I’m not entirely comfortable with the flippant, satirical usage of Jesus Christ here … but as one can plainly see, the humor is never at Jesus’ expense. (How have they been able to make the “Blondie” strip [...]
