Well done, Bill. That thesaurus you've obviously invested in is serving 
you well in expanding your limited insult vocabulary.
So the Covid shot felled poor old Fred, then. Lord knows there were enough 
warnings against taking it from the internet cognoscenti but he presumably 
trusted CNN more and paid the ultimate price for his misplaced faith in 
the legacy media. He will be missed.

accept Bill's view as being definitive this time. Even a busted clock is 
right twice a day.
