Apparently Steven Seagal is not just a professional badass--he's also a Deputy Sheriff. And he has a new reality show starting December 2nd on A&E, called STEVEN SEAGAL, LAWMAN.

From what I can tell, it's kind of like COPS, starring Seagal.

I should have put up a Mineshaft Warning a while ago. I have descended into the hermit cave of doom because all I am doing is writing, and watching occasional action movies while Tolstoy and J.D. grumble about Seagal's ill-fitting jacket.

It's hard to find a good badass these days.
