“Spring is here! Spring is here! Life is skittles, life is beer…”
-Tom Lehrer: from Poisoning Pigeons in the Park
He spread the “seed” on the ground and his “pigeons” eagerly choked it down, wobbled and then fell down: dead. He smiled and moved on to another batch of “his pigeons.”
Scribe would love to tell you he had horns, a tail: but some days he wore a business suit, some days he was an anti-abortion protester, some days anti-war. His defining characteristic: selling hate while calling it common sense, love: any label that would get “his” pigeons to gobble it up.
And hate sells well. Hate is its own advertisement. Hate makes for more hate.
He has been around a long time, and “he” not always a “he.”
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends…
-T.S. Elliot
Any way he can make it happen.
