Brandon Boudet of Dominick's in Los Angeles wasn't so sure. A Spam virgin, he blanched a bit when it plonked out of the can, all pink like a newborn mole rat. After bravely sautéing some little squares of Spam--for Spamghetti carbonara--he tested one and was surprised. It was pleasantly hamlike and not as salty as he had expected. And it was eerily airy. He was so confused, he grabbed the can and scanned the ingredients. It was the potato starch. That's what holds the shape but kind of melts in your mouth...
...social issues - are spared neither the rod nor the lash. Huckabee writes of Gary Bauer, the conservative Christian leader and former presidential candidate, as having an "ever-changing reason to deny me his support."

Can you please explain the mole-men? I have so many questions about them. Many people do, and many of them will go unanswered. Mole-men became an obsession of mine as I was writing the first book. I wrote some interesting facts and a motto for all 51 states. For Virginia, I said the motto was "The Old Dominion," which was very arrogant of Virginians...
...mole-man just the underground version of the hobo? Not at all. Hobos came to represent the closest thing in America culture to Tolkien's elves, an unknowable, mysterious race of people who have a completely different world view and want nothing to do with us. They embodied a chaos that America didn't want to acknowledge or be a part of. Mole-men are creatures of pure enlightenment. They read Voltaire and Rousseau. They championed reason and logic long before the surface world did, they took on the scientific method. And they are really the foundational, dare...
