Dear stevia sellers:
If you are jealous of the success that sucralose (Splenda) has enjoyed in the marketplace, and want a piece of the action yourself, here are a few hints for you:
1. Make your crap taste better. It’s nasty, 99 percent of the time.
2. Make it cheaper. It’s ridiculously expensive. For [...]
I think (not sure) I’ve gotten to the point where I can let most of this stuff roll off my back and not give a shit, and that’s pretty much where I am about this instance, but I feel a little bit like making an example out of somebody, so I guess I am [...]
So, like, I was hanging out at the Post Carbon Institute’s Facebook fan page? And they started talking about how it’s a good idea to go vegan to save water? And I’m like “there is no carbon in water dumbass”?* And I finally got fed up with all the liberal=vegan mental math** going on? [...]

Someone, I have no idea who, has bought one of my t-shirts recently. Pretty trippy. I haven’t sold something on Cafe Press in years. I’m a little intimidated now, though, for a couple of reasons:

Someone emailed me about my KFC post. I know who it was, but I won’t name names just yet ’cause I don’t know what he was getting at, for reasons I’ll get into in a minute. Just, here’s a wild violet for ya, dude…

My little girl’s dad said something in this vein the other night that got my mental gears a-turnin’. I’m fatigued from the brouhaha around the attack on Lierre Keith and all the hype about the ecological virtues of veganism and the solution to poverty and hunger being the eating of five servings of [...]

You’ve probably seen that new Atkins Quick-Start kit advertised all over the internets lately. You give them your name and address and they send you three free bars.
