Lileks on Rall
This cheered me up to
no end:
But sometimes just being yourself is punishment enough. I have no idea if Mr. Rall is personally happy, although the one time I met him he didn’t strike me as a jolly old soul. But it has to be hard to be happy when one carries around so much bile and rage. It’s tiring. Anger wears you down, especially when your anger doesn’t seem to accomplish anything.
Yep, that's the problem with being a leftie. Everything's an outrage, and the only time you can smile is when you imagine a
hero dying.
