post a commentDude, you scooped me. I saw the headline an hour ago and had already planned an article on how we will not get any primetime coverage and discussion/reflection on the life and works of Vonnegut because it's not like he is Anna Nicole Smith or anything. And of course, to sum it up with "And so it goes". Maybe I'll write it anyway.
Slaughter House Five is an amazing book. Vonnegut was a genius. THIS is a death that we should actually mourn. Maybe instead of the death of a sexually peverse, drug-abusing former stripper, we'll focus on the death of people who truly contributed to society.
Amen. Maybe if he had a huge fake rack.
Write it anyway.
