This is a good example of me laughing at me. I'm horrified by animal cruelty to the extent that I removed a few paragraphs of writing by my grandfather when he described blowing up a tree of birds that were threatening his burros. (They pecked at pack sores, which could cause infections and the deaths of the animals.) And I completely eliminated a poem of Henry Livingston's from his body of work because it talked about kicking a dog. I still remember our choral nun who had trained in Rome and was actually in favor of poisoning pigeons!

I loved that show and Don Addams. Did you know that he as a Marine in WWII at Guadalcanal?

Tom Lehrer is still living, I think.

The best quote from Tom Lehrer:

"If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been worth the while"

Tom Lehrer is good entertainer, and also a Leftist.
