Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

There is more than one way to appreciate a squirrel

Definitely. I have to ask you a question, though. When you invited Evil Squirrel to the Squirrel of the Year banquet, were you inviting him
for dinner?

Some questions are better left unanswered.

I'd better level with you, then. Evil Squirrel makes me mad, and I yell at him a lot. He's my neighbor, though, which makes him my homeboy. I don't want anything reallyreallyreally bad to happen to him.
That's just the kind of girl I am.
I'm also the kind of girl that has big teeth.
I just thought you should know.

Annie, I just wanted you to know that I have never actually cooked a client...
at least not one who paid his bill.

So, would you like an excellent recipe for Squirrel Tartare?

Sometimes, I wish I wasn't a nocturnal squirrel....

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.
