7. Faux needs to change it's faux name
to something more fitting... like The Crap Channel.
All Crap. All The Time.
Fair and Balanced Crap.
We Crap. You Decide.
Crap Crap Crap !!!

6. Fucking assholes!!!!
Compared to the LOVEFEST at Ronald Reagan's BIRTHDAY, years after he died, this is simply disgusting. Talk about being lowbrow.

8. What greater obituary could there be?
Fox sneering at you when you die. I will do everything in my power to earn such accolades when my time comes. (Though, hopefully, by that time, Fox will be an extinct relic of our nation's love affair with Nazis.) KV would be in heaven smiling, if I believed in such a place.

11. They are clueless and
incapable of understanding anything about him .
I will not read it. I have to much love and respect for Vonnegut.

14. Just when I thought they couldn't get any crasser.
I'd bet that idiot was made to read Slaughterhouse 5 in high school and flunked the test and/or paper, and this was his way of getting back.
