I’ve never met the person, but if **Litoris** is posting this true, with no embellishment, I know I’m superior. I don’t need congatulations. I feel sorry for her. I also feel thankful that I have a better class of friends. **Litoris** , why is your husband friends with her? ---

Her husband has his flaws, but overall, he’s a pretty smart, interesting, and nice guy. My husband and I figure that he must just love her enough to see past what makes us kind of stop and go, “uh, yeh, I have something else I need to be doing, nice seeing you” you know? The thing is, if she isn’t in racist mode, she’s not that bad. I mean, everyone bitches about their job at some point, and as seldom as we see her, it’s easy to ignore. It’s just her blogs are so…well, I cut and pasted them, the only editing I did was remove names of people/places. Seriously, it’s like driving by a wreck, I don’t want to look, I try not to look, I even make it a few days past her bulletin announcement of “Read my new blog!” but then I look. And immediately regret it. We haven’t been around her in several months, because neither of us are in the mood for it, you know? ---

If it is not permitted for posters to express such superiority, traffic on this board will plummet so radically (along with ad revenue) that the Chicago Reader will be in bankruptcy before you know it. It is our duty to Cecil and the Dope to express our overweening superiority at every turn. ---
