The Chicken We Eat. Top Story - May 2025.
It’s Tuesday again, which is wild because it was just Tuesday the other day. Tuesdays entail eating dinner at an impossible speed so my husband and I can race both kids off to their overpriced dance classes where they learn a routine they then perform for one whole minute to an auditorium of hostages at the end-of-year dance show.

The Insanity of the English Language: Making Our Way Through A Maze Of Linguistic Twists & Turns
I am a writer. I can cajole and tantalize an idea into a climactic explosion, much as I would entice and seduce a lover. The romance I continue to have with my native language is deep and real, her whispers of sweet nothings seducing my fingertips as they dance over my keyboard.

"Hayek’s Hangover: A Love Story Between Markets and Mayhem"
Once upon a time in a snowy Swiss chalet—not quite a James Bond hideout, but close—a bunch of intellectuals gathered with a dream. It was the 1940s, and the world was crawling out of the rubble of fascism and world war, trying to piece together what kind of future it wanted. In a resort town named Mont Pèlerin, a group of academics, economists, and political thinkers formed what would become the world’s most powerful secret club that no one had ever heard of: the Mont Pelerin Society.

Existential Dread and Mismatched Socks: A Deep Dive into the Human Condition
Let’s talk about something we all grapple with but rarely discuss: the fact that every morning we wake up, put on mismatched socks, drink liquid bean juice, and pretend everything is fine. Meanwhile, we’re hurtling through space on a giant rock, completely unsure of what we’re doing here. But hey, at least brunch exists.

The Ransom of Red Chief
Part 1: The Brainstorming and the Snatch It looked like a good thing: but wait till I tell you. We were down South, in Alabama—Bill Driscoll and Me when this kidnapping idea struck us. It was, as Bill afterward expressed it, “during a moment of Temporary mental apparition”; but we didn’t find that out till later. There was a town down there, as flat as a flannel-cake, and called Summit. It contained inhabitants of as Undeleterious and self-satisfied a class of peasantry as ever clustered around a Maypole. Bill and I needed capital. We had a fraudulent town-lot scheme of ours down there that we wanted to pull off, but we needed a little ready money. So, one evening we kidnapped the son of old Dorsey, from Summit.
