@cityslikr lights @SueAnnLevy up like a pinball machine

Word. If you’re ever curious about why so many of our fellow citizens seem ruled by fear, resentment, and ignorance, the Venomous Loser^TM  and her hateful little screeds are a big part of the reason. Sun Media’s toxic effect just wouldn’t be as toxic without her.

Some years ago, a singer / songwriter / satirist by the name of Tom Lehrer was said to have summed up his musical career thus:

He was talking tongue in cheek, of course.
