Santa, Odin and the Castrated Chicken

I’ve always found it puzzling that my Christian friends find it puzzling that I celebrate Christmas even though I’m not a Christian.

Hockey riot? Or prison riot?

June 16, downtown Vancouver. This was not a hockey riot. And the lessons that are being learned from it are the exact wrong ones.

The Happy Anarchist

Reprinted from Liberty Magazine (October 2009) Over the years the people I’ve met who self-identify as “anarchists” tend to be among the dumbest and the smartest people I’ve had the pleasure or displeasure of knowing. Very few reasonable people attach that label to themselves. In an attempt to avoid

Astari: Hers

Reprinted from C-Arts Magazine (Sept 2008)  The goal keeper’s leap is fantastic, with sheer joy emanating from every gesture in her body, her face rapturous.
