LOL! You don't mess around, do you?
Actually, as far as Ivins is concerned, and I say this with no malice...but I couldn't care less if she lives or dies. I avoid her column like the plague - because it's so nasty and negative and condescending - so to me, she really doesn't exist anyway.
Even so, I don't wish suffering upon her. But maybe a little "poof" is in order. :^)
I despise false piety. Nobody could accuse you of that. :)
