Letters to the Editor

Dear Madame/Sir:

It is unfair and species-hostile of you to keep accusing us of being like Roger Stone.  Stone is a flagrant racist, an unprincipled liar, a cheat, and  is so slimy he could slide easily over broken glass.  Plus, he mates with any female who will have him.

Shingleback skinks, on the other hand, don’t hate other  skinks for the color of their scales, we don’t lie or cheat, and we mate for life.  Sure, there are some gila monsters and newts, and snakes I wouldn’t trust.  The majority of us are, well, better than fing Roger Stone!  Even if he were a reptile, he would be shunned.  Have you seen those stupid sunglasses he wears!?  Pick on biped mammals instead!

Hurt,

Jeffrey P. Skink
