Some people would argue that my own writings have a rather tenuous connection with anarchism.

They are bound to be disappointed, because my focus this year is on publishing articles and books.

I'm thinking about a clever essay on the AP's coverage of this news out of Vegas.

Back in 1994 I ran across a new tidbit in Publisher's Weekly about how much money the publishers of the Anarchist Cookbook had made. The number was in the tens of millions if I remember correctly. The AC has long been a popular coffeetable book, probably for young people who think they are being "radical" or something.

The original author of the AC disowned it several years ago.

And I once got a cease and desist letter from Barricade Books relating to the cookbook.
