Compare Rachel Weisz on this month's cover with The Five-Minute Guide to Lesbians and the article where the writer hires a team of bodyguards to see the reaction he gets. Breaking with a decade-long tradition, this issue actually features a readable short story (which means there were at least two other lame articles).

The article on poker, though not particularly insightful, was interesting enough to keep my mind occupied during air travel, which is about all I can ask of a magazine. Concur on the short story. Was it possibly written by one our own? Consider:
" . . . I remain many circles removed from some of the truly bad creatures roaming the planet. People who flirt with every waitress who has the misfortune to serve them, for example. People who hire Mexicans to clean their toilets and people who hire Mexicans to mow their lawns and people who hire Mexicans to raise their cocksucker kids. People who lie about their herpes and who leave their Mexican-raised kids and then fuck nineteen-year-olds working their way through state schools by dancing at the Gold Club, or fuck waitresses at places like Chili's or T.G.I. Friday's in towns on the outskirts of Dallas and in towns like Lake Forest, Illinois."
