Amazon Review

This was odd. Check out top reviewer number 459. A two-way tie, and one of them, I never would have guessed in a million years.

Vidal on Vidal

LA Weekly drops in on Gore Vidal and readers get a chance to see the acerbic wit of the bitter liberal racontuer tear at Bush, Ashcroft and the American system. If you haven’t read any of Gore Vidal’s work, I highly recommend his book of essays: United States

Mmmmmm, Bacon

As my search for the total bacon and Guiness diet continues, I add this to the mix: A primer on the many ways and joys of cooking everyone’s favorite smoked pork product.

One Of The Worlds Richest Vs Bush

He isn’t Ross Perot but he has the dough and is willling to spend whatever it takes to get Bush out of office.

“America, under Bush, is a danger to the world,” Soros said. Then he smiled: “And I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.”

Sorros claims to have no political agenda, but has a track record of spending money to make a more open worldwide society. And it seems that Bush is getting in the reclusive billionaire’s way.
He recently gave $5 million to MoveOn.org and to date has donated $15 million to Democratic political causes in hopes of defeating the president in the 2004 election.

Beer Belly Myth Revealed

In a never ending pursuit to perfect my Guiness and Bacon diet, I present this evidence on beer bellies from the University of London. Good news for all of us beer purists.

Why Is He Not Running?

Al Gore has emerged again and lashed out at the Patriot Act and the Bush Administrations’ Iraq and terrorist policy.

“In my opinion, it makes no more sense to launch an assault on our civil liberties as the best way to get at terrorists than it did to launch an invasion of Iraq as the best way to get at Osama bin Laden,” Gore said.

And again, his speech was met with huge, standing ovations. I still think that as the election progresses, Gore could come out of hiding and play his “Bobby Kennedy” card and enter the race late and grab a ton of media attention. But he still maintains he isn’t running, so we will just have to wait and see.
