With Angry Scorn!

Hugh Hoyland is angry.

In fact, the Monrovian could be one of the angriest men in the San Gabriel Valley. For decades, no one has listened to his simply presented evidence of greater truths. In fact, many reasonable, yet timid, minds have turned their backs on what is irrefutably the most important issue of the human race.

Much to Hugh's abiding dismay and disapprobation.

On Tuesday, Hugh threw wide the newsroom door, shouted something incoherent (except for the word "myopic") and stormed out.

Long before I worked for the Star-News, stories of the infamous "Mars Man" reached me via my JPLer father and the odd media account. The Mars Man would stand in front of the lab and show up at various events with his placards mounted with photos of the Mars Face and other irrefutable evidence of Little Green Men.

So it was something of a personal treat when Hugh Hoyland camped out in front of the newsroom for 10 days or so last year. He never articulated the purpose of his silent stand, but it seemed a safe assumption that he was sending a message to science reporter Elise Kleeman that her shilling for the corporate-space-Martian-government complex's lies were not going unnoticed.

I wanted to believe, until I walked out to speak to Hugh. Insisting that I wasn't getting close enough to see the truth of his pixelated images, Hugh began screaming when I made a terrible mistake. I smiled at him.

"Laughing? Laughing?!! Just get away from me!" Hugh screamed.

In the ensuing months, Hugh has taken to sending all sorts of affectionate messages to Elise, including the above amiable sentiment.
