The rest, alas, is history.

In Part Two, is the true author of Hatchet Man a cinematic savant and woman of the woods, or somehow an ancient tribe of celestial snails? It’s all getting a little foggy. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton, a mailman’s old videotape, and a very good dog lead a reporter to his first Hatchet Man episode.

Bogus quotes, badly-treated lambs, the abomination of the Donald and now someone has stolen leftovers from the company fridge. Don’t worry. There’s always Shredded Ralstons. It's full of that cowboy energy. You'll be just fine.
