Back in the mists of prehistoric time at the dawn of the Reagan Era, two young writers - Benny Jay and Big Mike Glab - met in Chicago. We've spent the last few decades arguing about anything and everything and generally looking for ways to avoid conventional employment. We ain't young anymore. This is our world. Meet the losers, lovers, weedheads, out-of-work philosophers, fast-talking lawyers, sleazy politicians, hip-hop wannabes and all the other jugglers and clowns who wander in and out of our lives. Enjoy guest posts by luminaries such as Milo Samardzija, Gary's Greatest Writer and others. Now pay attention: this is American history unrolling right before your half-lidded eyes. Peace....
