How to Succeed in Evil

I'm hooked on an Internet radio show that Jon recommended, How to Succeed in Evil. It's the story of how a consultant for super villains goes into business for himself. I like the writing a lot and here are my favorite lines so far.

Edwin didn't bother to explain that there would be no next time. A plan that relied on the extraordinary acts of one person was not a good plan. Edwin was a little ashamed that he couldn't have come up with something better. Edwin desired that all his machinations be inexorable, rather than spectacular. He did not mean to seize glory but, rather, crush it out of circumstance, as an anaconda kills its prey.
