So It Goes
I'd just like to break my brief finals-related moratorium from blogging to draw attention to this wet load. That's right, folks; Kurt Vonnegut, one of the greatest authors of the 20th century, was "irrelevant" and "scatological", because FOX News wills it.
Speaking of which, did you see what they did in the first thirty seconds? Apparently, Kurt Vonnegut was just too lewd and vulgar for such a thing as a proper, stately obituary (though apparently, he was good enough to have Rupert Murdoch shit in his grave). I know this is becoming a constant mantra around this joint, but John Rogers already beat this topic into the ground. In the minds of the media elite, if you swear, you're vulgar. If you're vulgar, you're unhinged. If you're unhinged, then you aren't allowed to speak opposite that nice, proper woman who suggests internment camps for Muslims.
This is why, in one hundred years, we will still be reading Vonnegut's works, and FOX News will be regarded with as much shame as David Hasselhoff music videos.
