Cops in the Crosshairs
Isn’t it about time that the most significant threat to your well being—pigs in lipstick, robed in fashions and military gear—got theirs? It’s happening. I submit for evidence in the court of public opinion, your honors: Take it over 1,000 That’s the number of shares in my recent post: Skokie Thug Cop Michael Hart Needs to Go to Jail and Get About 20 “Boyfriends.” Interestingly, I only got like 2-3 protesters. The funniest one was a guy in Facebook…Read More
Paleo Cinnabon!!! That’s What Tears it For Me
When a few early Paleo enthusiasts stopped being enthusiastic, I laughed and dismissed them. When a few of those, and others, wrote posts of divorce, I laughed and dismissed all of them again. See, I’d written several posts prior—seeing what the low-carb Junk-Food “Revolution” Atkins had become—about what I eroneously took to be tantamount to a silver bullet or golden helmet. Since it was founded in human evolution, I didn’t see a way to rationally…Read More
Saturated Fat & Cholesterol Worries are so 2009
I love evolution, but particularly in thinking. It’s not an issue of right vs. wrong but a process hallmarked by honesty. Evolution happens in large swaths of time, such that discrete changes at any point in time are hard to identify short of outright re-evolution. Then one day, you realize that everything has changed. To my mind, the job of historical scholarship is to relate those seeming gulfs, such that people laf at the way…Read More
Russell Brand and Jeremy Paxman: Oh Myyy!
I must have received 2 dozen emails yesterday or day before making sure I saw this interview of Russell Brand by Newsnight’s Jeremy Paxman. Let me make this quick: Not Impressed; What a Mess. Brand is basically just spouting reformulated commie drivel regurgitate…with the added spice of not doing another Chernobyl or any of the other many Soviet era environmental rapes—by magic aparently, i.e., falling to grasp that commie-style egalitarian impoverishment—such that nobody has much more…Read More
Go Outside and Work—Where I’ve Been The Last Three Days
Isn’t there a “Go Outside and Play” meme that goes around? Background: We moved into a place about three years ago, around this time of year (early September). The backyard was a principal thing for me, other than all wood floors inside…because wall-to-wall carpeting is the stupidest fucking thing ever created by man and demonstrates the power of marketing—combined with the idiocy of man—in covering up hardwood floors coast to cost in the 60s and…Read More
Perhaps This Informs About My Passion
For 18 years now I’ve watched hang gliding videos. Originally, they were DVDs (I think an AHS or two as well). I only blog the very best. You won’t even believe the amazing Austrian scenery as he’s doing his aerobatics. I don’t do that stuff. I can launch on a yawn from the same place and have fun with a few high speeds, moderate wing overs and a half wang or two. I may try…Read More
Resistant Starch Ingestion Has No Effect on Ketosis But Blood Glucose Blunting Effects are Highest in A Normal Diet
For my next installment on Resistant Starch, the following post documents an N=2 (two study subjects) collaboration to record blood glucose readings in different states of dieting, with and without RS. The following was assembled by regular commenter Marie (a real life scientist in her day job) and 'Tatertot Tim', the guy who brought RS to Free the Animal months ago and has probably read more of the studies going back 30 years than anyone…Read More
Headline: “Stupid Party Caves Once Again to Evil Party”
What a “surprise.” But evil always trumps stupid, and the thing about stupid is that it is what it does. No way around it, no way to fix it. That is all....

The Dr. Terry Wahls Interview You Don’t Want to Miss
This is categorized both under health & fitness and politics & culture for a reason. The first is obvious. The latter is revealed in the last segment of the interview. Unless you’re an Original Vampire that Nicklous staked for some reason and missed the last few years, decades or centuries until just now, you know about paleo and about Dr. Terry Wahls. I blogged about her TED talk here (now at nearly 1.5 million views), catching…Read More
Is Sexual “Perversion” Paleo?
I skimmed Sex at Dawn way back when. Skim, because I saw so much of it as pretty self evident to me, especially in the context of having two long-term relationships with non-promiscuous but nonetheless: “cheating” women—in the context of “social norms.” One lasted 7 years and encompassed three countries on two continents. I pretty much dismissed all criticism of the book that lacked my level of perspective in that regard. Caught this viddie this morning,…Read More
Get Over the “Paleo Pizza” Habit and Just Make a Really Good Fucking Pizza For a Special Occasion
I’m totally guilty. I completely fell head over heals for the “paleo Pizza” craze years back. First, it was cauliflower crust and then, meat as “crust” or, “meatza.” Thing is, I haven’t made either in years. Why? Pain in the ass for the former and for the latter, just make a meatloaf. So I ask you: what’s better, an indulgence you call “paleo” every week because you still have “pizza night;” or, getting over pizza night…Read More
Here’s The Thing: Alec Baldwin is an Amazing Talent
I used to like to make fun of Alec Baldwin’s fat face. I’d been a fat face myself and basically going for real food corrected that. Made fun of him and Val Kilmer vs. me in 2009. I juxtaposed that with Russel Crowe’s ability to get hot for the ladies in 2010. But dammit, Alec Baldwin has kicked me right in the teeth and I couldn’t be happier about that. Fucking-A-Good for him, wherever he…Read More
The Inessentials
It’s hilarious for me to point out to various people that because what they do is on federal government furlough, it’s safe to consider them inessential. Can someone please pitch a new TV program: “The Inessentials.” It involves a “The Office” cadre of laughably incompetent fucks; but, unlike real bottom-line business where such could never persist, these people easily spend all day, every day, trying to justify their existence and why you should be forced…Read More
Skokie Thug Cop Michael Hart Needs to Go to Jail and Get About 20 “Boyfriends”
That’s absolutely right. Yep, I’d celebrate and laf at hearing he was anally gang raped until dead, just so everyone would have a new place to take a piss. How about that? Revolting? Yea? Brutal? Yea? Well then check this out: More detail here. A Chicago woman, Cassandra Feuerstein, 47, is suing the town of Skokie, Illinois, claiming she was a victim of police brutality, reports CBS Chicago. The above CCTV video shows Feuerstein just…Read More
The Doctors and CBS is Still On Soap and Shampoo, For Now
Twitter and FTA Facebook Pagers got wind of this, but back some weeks ago when I went on HuffPo Live over—once again—not using soap or shampoo (washing with water only) for nearly the last five years, it turned into an inquiry from CBS to be on their national daytime show, The Doctors. You know me. I’m like, “sure, when?” “We’ll be in touch.” Then I didn’t hear anything for 2 weeks and just assumed it…Read More
Frenched Pork Chops With Resistant Starch Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
What a difference a day makes. I still might not blog much over the next week, but at any rate, got interested in this during a trip to the market yesterday and so made it so. Thick, Bone in Pork Chops with a Nice Cut Other Side If you don't do them Sous Vide, then I like a cast iron skillet, on high always, lard as cooking fat. Brown very well on one side (about…Read More
I might be taking a week off from blogging
At least that’s how it seems at 2:13pm on this Monday. I can call it off at any time, of course, but if I don’t, at least you’ll know what’s up. I need to occupy my limited mindspace with a few other things for a while. Anyway, next post up will be the data Tim & Marie collected during their N=2. That would have gone out last Wed. or Thur., but when putting it together,…Read More
Alright, Now I Have to Work Out a Proper Paleoish Shit on a Shingle
This is my increasingly common first meal of the day, nowadays—10am-1pm, typically, in terms of timing (i.e., when I actually get hungry). Sorry, I just hardly ever eat bacon, anymore. Tastes like I'm eating a block of salt, to me. But, Go paleo!!!; bacon, the exclusive favorite food of the brand. Pretty Simple If you prep them properly, beans can be quite amazing. After a 24-36 hour soak, drain, rinse; and then, where I plop…Read More
Just look at what you’ve done with your government shutdown.
Government shutdowns are no laffing matter. First The Washington Monument, now this. Mt. Rushmore Laf. Good one. ;)... This content is for Annual Subscription and Monthly Subscription members only and is a preview. Login or Join for access at the level you choose.Login Join NowRead More
No, Really: Fried Egg Sandwich on Gluten Free Bread with Pastured Butter and Cornichons
OK, that’s exactly right. I’ve been working on a post about my take on some of the more funny dissenting comments from my 3 political-religious-government-shutdown-axis posts yesterday, but just couldn’t put it together in a way that made me happy: Dot-Connect of the Day: Government “Shutdown” = Big Fat Yawn Government “Shutdown” Juxtaposition (Real Hunter Gatherers: Hadza) Blasphemy is the Coolest Thing (Yea, hold your horses. I’ll get to the food.) …As I was saying….…Read More
