This obituary of Kurt Vonnegut is as ill-informed and spiteful as anything else that’s come from FOX News — I really wish they’d just stick to distorting current events and stop short of impugning the work of one of America’s greatest literary minds. I had a hard time figuring out if this was meant to be an obituary or an op-ed piece. Take this particular gem, for example:

“Vonnegut, who failed at suicide 23 years ago, said 34 years ago that he hoped his children wouldn’t say of him when he was gone: he made wonderful jokes, but he was such an unhappy man. So I’ll say it for them.”

I’m sure his kids appreciated the initiative, as well as hearing their father referred to as “rich and irrelevant.” Don’t you go to hell for this stuff?
