What's All The Fuss With Food?

Ms. Moore deserves great credit for being so open-minded about the state of food production in the United States and for taking the necessary steps to not only educate herself on better alternatives but for spreading the good word on such valuable initiatives as Community Supported Agriculture.

Escapism In Mallorca

Wilfred Finn did well to discover some of the few patches of joy left in Mallorca. It was long ago over-run by the drunken hordes he speaks of, and the island's eagerness for tourist dollars has left it perhaps terminally scarred.

Ezy Reading: Struggling With Hypocrisy

David Vitter is exactly the kind of politician whose re-election leaves observers outside of the U.S simultaneously scratching their heads and yet nodding in agreement when they hear talk of 'decline of empire'.

It is with deep regret that I report that my country has fallen so in love with itself over our reputed foundations built on such things as 'liberty', 'justice' and 'freedom' that we've become arrogantly blind to the conceit, deceit and absolute hypocrisy that Mr. Kanarakis is referring to.

Fox News seem to want to tell us that 'the end of the world is nigh'. The end of the world isn't nigh, however- the end of American prominence is.

Two Poems: From The Metropolitan Museum Of Art, New York

I remember seeing Trebonianus Gallus at the MET and often wondered of the fate of the man's sculptor. 'Nude, paunched, bald' indeed! But was this sculptor a little too honest? Let's hope he lived to hammer at another block of marble..

I very much enjoyed 'Bronze Of A Roman Ruler'. Mr. Head's poetry in The Cud is always intelligent, thoughtful -and often quite witty!

Pesky Persians, Scythian tribes, barbarians at the gate- I'd probably have turned to food and wine as a release from stress as well!
