No News & Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Just up after a few odd winks. Turn on the TV for a daily fix of news. I just missed headline news- that some other guy from the Hamas outfit was exterminated by the Israelis. Crap, so over to NDTV to hopefully catch more details on this interesting event. NDTV had a reporter outside a hotel waiting to talk to elusive Indian Cricketers, as if those fucks were involved in the Israel-Hamas thing. It seems the cricketers were going back to their homes w/ spouse & kids in tow & were being secretive. Somebody ought to shoot the NDTV crew in cold blood. Nah better still batter the crew w/ cricket bats & pour the pepsi over them. WE NEED NEWS, don't tell us that no news means stalking cricketers. Hats off to Aljazeera , they seem to be doing some serious reporting for the rest of Asia.

I've been reading Kurt Vonnegut Jr. for quite some time now. U could say I am a fan, although his sarcasm (in certain novels) made u want to through the book away from fear of turning ur brain into tofu. He has written an award winning novel called 'Slaughterhouse 5', its abt the fire-bombing of Dresden during WW2. Its partly ( How much?, I don't know) based on his life as a P.O.W. But in my opinion his greatest book (I hope not) is 'Bluebeard'. Its abt an artist. No more- read the book its worht it! I came across this American Magazine w/ glaringly un-American views - In These Times. In it I found a few articles & interviews by Vonnegut Jr.. Ta Da....
