After rereading and pondering Lee Lefler’s vilification of Rich Landers (April 17) and glorification of that storied American tradition of wiping out wolves, I’ve concluded that The Spokesman-Review has uncovered an unheralded satirist in the mold of Mark Twain, H.L. Mencken and James Thurber.

When can we expect more?
