It goes well beyond the underworld of rodents. Some years back I was a regular caller to Susan Estrich on a weekend talk show she had in Los Angeles. We actually had some civil discussions. Her audience, of course, hated me. On two occasions, she did an hour on WHY YOU HATE DOUG FROM UPLAND. It was funny stuff. One of the things they couldn't handle was that I actually called a spade a spade. No, wait. I called a rapist a rapist.
LOL... a whole hour on that? Wow! I am impressed!
Some people have all the luck. Here I post in relative obscurity, while others get the glory, the fame, the hate mail...
Sigh...

Good thing you corrected that; spades are still a protected species.
