The Useless Critic 2.0

I've been putting this off since March. So let's do this! I'm on vacation and that means the UC comes first for a few days. And family, I think. shut up Norman Rockwell.  you sassy bastard. Getting back to the task at hand, has there been anyone as vitriolic as Dorothy Parker? No. Never, and never again. Pippa Middleton can only dream of this! ... MY HERO. and you know, she did a lot for civil rights as well! Miss Parker is perhaps best remembered for her wit. I say that like I know her. Ha!
