R.I.P. Kurt Vonnegut

Click to view video.

Kurt Vonnegut, one of America's greatest authors, passed away yesterday, at the age of 84.

Above is a link to an interview he did with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, on September 13th, 2005, shortly after the Katrina disaster. At the end of the interview he references a list of "Liberal Crap I Never Want to Hear Again".

Vonnegut was a brilliant writer and an amazing character. The world is less interesting without him.

ETA - Here is an updated link to the Daily Show interview.

I am so sad to see him go. I saw it on the news this morning. We just lost a great man, but at least we had him!
