The List ~ The Other List
in a perfect world i might link to counts of those slain since the dawn of time, willingly or no, in the name of god and, ideologically- or ecomonically-speaking, country... save that in a perfect world, i would be spared such a need.

The Year of Vonnegut

one of my heroes has passed,
into whatever lies beyond...
if anything.


"everything was beautiful,
and nothing hurt."

thank you, mr. vonnegut.

Many lines from various Vonnegut works came to mind. The first to flash through my memory upon hearing "the news" on "Morning Edition" is from the front of "Cat's Cradle", a line that reads, "Nothing in this book is true" and, there I was, wishing that "nothing in this newscast is true" while wondering if Vonnegut was letting me in on The Joke just one last time and guessing that he was probably lying somewhere on his back, thumbing his nose at You Know Who.
