Kurt Vonnegut didn't get to read his poem on the air during the Daily Show but this was later posted on the show's Internet site.
LIBERAL CRAP I NEVER WANT TO HEAR AGAINGive us this day our daily bread. Oh sure.
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Nobody better trespass against me. I'll tell you that.Blessed are the meek.
Blessed are the merciful. You mean we can't use torture?
Blessed are the peacemakers. Jane Fonda?
Love your enemies - Arabs?
Ye cannot serve God and Mammon. The hell I can't! Look at the Reverand Pat Robertson. And He is as happy as a pig in s**t.

What do you think of it? I think Vonnegut remains as fresh as ever.

I don't think he's senile. He's just a liberal realist.

I explained

I am pretty saddened about Kurt Vonnegut's death. He probably influenced - positive or negatively depending on what you think of it - my writing style more than any other writer.
I think I'll write a tribute piece to him this weekend.

I learned a lot from Cat's Cradle.
Because of Slaughterhouse 5, I'm a different person.
"Bluebeard" made me happy even in failure.
Now he has the semi-colon at the end of his life.
So it goes!
