Kurt Vonnegut on NOW says he's suing cigarette company...

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

For false advertising.

He said they have this warning on the side of the package that says they will kill him and he's 80 something and it hasn't worked.

Plus he's giving some great comments on this admin and war.

Tune in!

1. I love him :-)

2. Now that is funny.

Vonnegut is a clever one.

3. His appearance on the Daily Show was great!

By the way, here is the list of:

"LIBERAL CRAP I NEVER WANT TO HEAR AGAIN
Give 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."

By Kurt Vonnegut (The Daily Show, 9/13/05)


Absolutely Priceless! :D

4. Kurt just claimed (in jest) that he never got a Nobel because he

spoke badly of Swiss cars after manageing a Saab dealership.

5. Swedish cars, I think n/t

[slaveplanet]

6. Classic-

He breaks out the Beatitudes...

That most important part of the new testament that proves whichever God is talking to Bush, It surely isn't the same one that recited the Sermon on the Mount....

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

7. That was so perfect...What was it he said? Can you see that on the

rotunda? Blessed are the peacemakers?

8. Boy is he great. I remember Tony Randall chastising Johnny Carson

on the old "Tonight Show" about his smoking. And remember back then, it was acceptable to smoke "on camera."

Tony kept telling Johnny that he was doomed or something. That Tony was so much better after chucking the smokes.

I believe that Johnny outlived Tony by at least a decade.

[Kenroy]

10. Nope

Tony Randall died in 2004, aged 84. Carson died in 2005, aged 79.

9. Vonnegut is a national treasure.
