An Oprah Runs Through It

Matt Labash explains why Oprah must be stopped.

Good God in Heaven, is nothing sacred? I saw the same picture on Field & Stream’s Fly Talk blog. And not since they made us watch a slide show of partial-birth abortions at my Operation Rescue Father’s Day picnic have I been so disturbed by an image.

Jim Treacher responds to Labash's column.

Ask Matt Labash how he's going to sell any books now that he's alienated Oprah. If Oprah doesn't promote your book you might as well not have written one.

Nada Knot

A Hemingway parody by Ed Gilbreth in the Post and Courier inspired Hemingway's nephew to write in and share a parody he wrote called the Nada Knot.

He was a young man. He had gone twelve years without catching a fish on the fly. He had never fished with the fly. Now he had to face the knot of the fly. He had never done the knot. The old man always tied the knot. He wished the old man were here but he was not.

"Fish," he said, "you are a friend of the old man and he kills you. It is love, this killing. I cannot knot. If you cannot knot, you cannot truly kill your love."
