MY BROTHER, in his beloved-uncle role, is telling my daughter a bedtime story. We just finished watching Mystery Science Theater together (off the swell Rhino 1st-season DVD collection). So I thought I'd check my email and when I look I've got a bunch of messages from somebody using the pseudonym "Henry Flowers." There are a lot of them, with subject lines like "Den Beste reveals his ignorant bigotry," and "Typical lying Republicans." They're full of typos.
And I wonder -- what kind of guy sits up the night before Thanksgiving churning out that kind of embittered, yet utterly pointless, stuff instead of enjoying life and the holidays?
