Tipping the Sacred Cow
The Best of LiP: Informed Revolt, 1996–2007

"Funny, refreshing, intelligent, and outrageous!"
—Howard Zinn

"In an era when most political magazines in the U.S. ranged from the tepid to the tedious there was LiP, fearlessly delving into the essential topics of our times and mapping the way to a revolution you'd actually want to join." 
—Patrick Reinsborough, co-founder of smartMeme

ORDER


For over a decade,
in print and online, LiP: Informed Revolt concocted a deeply imaginative, iconoclastic mix of politics, culture, sex, and humor that took clear, sometimes uproarious aim at mass mediocracy and capitalist miserabilism. All volunteer, never for profit, and always criminally underdistributed, LiP's diverse crew of co-conspirators devoted ourselves to imagining and articulating a vernacular radicalism unencumbered by the political deadwood of the day.

Collected herein are the finest fruits of our award-winning efforts: the very sharpest salvos from the oddly dangersome, overwhelmingly larcenous, vaguely apocalyptic, constructively negative, relentlessly persuasive, curiously unflinching, and often grossly unexpected pages of the best magazine you probably never heard of.
