Yeah, they pretty much are, in one way or another.
To paraphrase a great man...
If you meet somebody and think they are a wanker, they’re probably a wanker. If you think everybody you meet is a wanker, chances are that you are the wanker...

I don't think Mr. Twain lived in Massachusetts.
Also, I don't think Mr. Twain said that quote about assholes.

Beethoven was known to count out coffee beans obsessively in preparing his morning waker upper.
And yes, he had a reputation of being something of a disagreeable wanker.

Funny you should mention. Years ago, I listened to Greenberg's biography of Ludwig. He (Beethoven, not Greenberg) was such a horrible, horrible person. The account of his dealing with his sister-in-law and the custody of his nephew made me really, really dislike the man. Granted, it was an emotional response, but it was a long time before I could enjoy his music without thinking of what an asshole he was.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

You can't deny that infection rates are on the rise some places, enough to be worrisome. As much as I want everything to open back up, vaccination rates are not there yet.
How much extra tax are you willing to pay to keep things closed? You will be funding this.

I'd still rather listen to him than Tucker Carlson.

Seth Myers said of Tucker Carlson that watching his facial expressions was like watching Templeton the rat trying to read Charlotte's Web.

I find Seth Myers as funny as a bout of gastritis. As illuminating, too.
-
In the interest of balance, I don't like Seth Myers, either.
But Tucker's facial expressions are pretty odd. Particularly for the smartest conservative commentator since William F. Buckley Jr.
-
I try to watch the first part of his show. I figure that's the cool stuff that can get him in trouble with the SJW's.
Facial expressions? I find him rather expressionless.
Now, don't shoot the messenger.I was only joking

@doctor-phibes
That's you, Phibes. Admit it! -
I don't see how Carlson's tone helps to dampen the country's growing animosity toward one another. I do see how it could be pretty effective in keeping conservatives pissed off.
I don't need any of that shit in my life so I don't listen.
Please love yourself.
