The content is worth reading but the writing (by a University of Illinois grad student) is absolutely first-rate. It's so good, that I started re-reading the article, just to look for errors!

From the webzine: The Ethicurean

Quoted: (...) I truly believe that humane slaughter is important and possible, but, as I have been learning, here’s the truth about any slaughter: it is both morally difficult and really gross. (...) With a public unwilling to acknowledge the living nature of their food source, the meat industry has been free to institute practices that no compassionate person can countenance.

"Tom Wolfe Got It Right"
Commentary on Wolfe's "My Three Stooges".
The fucked-up thing is that the Fort Bragg novella that immediately follows Wolfe's amazing essay, supposedly underlining the principles of literary realism, is one of the most unreadable pieces of crap ever written...
The moral of the story is: It's easier to edit and critique than to write fiction.
But Sheets is great: a pissed-off, right-wing, unpublished academic dyke writer who wants to shoot someone! You go gurl!

This was a great idea from a blogger I thought I'd pass along to challenge you all with.

Can you write a six-word story? Post them as a comment to my Dot.

Quoted: Ernest Hemingway was once prodded to compose a complete story in six words. His answer, personally felt to be his best prose ever, was "For sale: baby shoes, never used." Some people say it was to settle a bar bet. Others say it was a personal challenge directed at other famous authors.
