So It Goes: Kurt Vonnegut Dies at Age 84
There will certainly be many literary tributes over the next few days, but this New York Times obituary, just posted, does a fine job of summarizing Kurt Vonnegut’s works and life. It ends with an excerpt from “Requiem,” a poem that ends his last book, “A Man Without a Country”:
When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
“It is done.”
People did not like it here.

I loved Kurt’s comment:
He hates how Hollywood makes war respectable… Bush smiling: I am a War President” … is like he is saying “I am a Syphilis-President”
example: Bush and Cheney Warlords on Prime Time
