Kurt Vonnegut's "Stardust Memory"

The Free Press -- Independent News Media - Harvey Wasserman

Earlier this week, I made a list of Vonnegut books and was checking off ones I had read planning to go to the library tomorrow with my daughters.

Kurt Vonnegut is a brilliant author and very interesting human being. He smokes like a chimney and every interview I have read with him is amazing. He is opinionated, funny, and he doesn't give a lick about what anyone things.

This article is about a speech at Ohio State. I *wish* I was there. My favorite quotes are below.

“I just want to say that George W. Bush is the syphilis president.”

“The only difference between Bush and Hitler, is that Hitler was elected.”

“We have no Democratic Party. It’s financed by the same millionaires and billionaires as the Republicans."

“You’re all perfectly safe, by the way. I took off my shoes at the airport. The terrorists hate the smell of feet. "

“I’m going to sue the cigarette companies because they haven’t killed me.”
