Of Rat Shacks and Orcs

If I may, I'd like to share a description of "The Couple" I find supremely delicious:

"That dandy, that piebald pimp. And his rat shack wife, who was strolling down Pennsylvania Avenue today incomprehensibly dressed like one of the terra cotta soldiers from the Imperial Tombs of China exhibit. Only with a fatter ass. And snappers that looked like they could chomp through a cocoanut. How often has Obama regretted those marital banns, one wonders? "

The same writer also mentions the "orcs" surrounding Zero. One is instantly in love.

My new hero, brought to my attention by dear reader, Bill Henry....is the writer of Velociworld, this particular essay being: The Gloves are Apparently Off

Read him and enjoy.

  1. Gosh, thanks. Sweet praise indeed from a great writer yourself.

    And by way of self-satisfying navel-gazing I got another Wolcott link at Vanity Fair. I do believe I'm starting to scare the old feller.
