'In case you haven’t noticed...' by By Kurt Vonnegut
Well, the real title is
"I love you madame librarian"

Very nice prose about our current aweful state of the country...
The link is...


http://www.inthesetimes.com/site/main/article/i_love_you_madame_librarian/

Some of great lines from this short prose are...

'In case you haven’t noticed, we are now almost as feared and hated all over the world as the Nazis were.

With good reason. "

'My last words? “Life is no way to treat an animal, not even a mouse.”

Napalm came from Harvard. Veritas!

Our president is a Christian? So was Adolf Hitler. '

I found this from one of my favorite links in Japanese.
If you can read Japanese, you will like the following.
BTW, it has a link to DU.

2. Did you read the comments posted beneath the story?
"Bush didn't lie about WMD"?????

"The Florida election wasn't rigged"???

My head hurts!

3. It's printed out
and ready to mail to my apolitical father, who is of the age that he better start caring about whether his social security checks are going to still come next year, and, if medicare is going away.
I'm educating him gently, he loves Vonnegut, and respects his intelligence, thank you Mr. Vonnegut.
