Dan Piraro has made it pretty clear he doesn't especially like ol'
squirrel head.

Todays column excerpt:
So my friends in Copenhagen are asking, “What’s going on in America
that you got so crazy so suddenly?” Danes take an interest in us
because their country is flat and if our emissions melt Greenland,
they’ll have to move to Norway where the vowels are different and the
beer tastes fishy.
I tell them: the Big Snapper is the result of a longstanding American
dread of meetings. Liberals adore meetings and whenever there is
uncertainty in the air — salmon or salad for dinner? The Woody Allen
movie or the documentary on income inequality? — they plop down with
their lattes and everyone has her or his say, which takes hours and
results in a report that leads to a task force and then a twoyear
study. The Snapper is not big on meetings. Short attention span and
superior intelligence: Let’s go. Get her done. Move on.
The second reason for his nomination is The Fascination of the
Unthinkable: when the rational fails to satisfy, then why not the
counterintuitive? If your car won’t start and you don’t know why, push
it over a cliff and watchit blow up. If you’re tired of the same old
same old in Washington, why not elect Bob Barker, host of “The Price
Is Right”? It’s like having a walrus in church Sunday morning. The
minister tries to explain the parable of the vineyard and the walrus
says, “BLEAUGHHHHHH.” Which one do you remember for weeks afterward?
