Sir chad sent me this link the other day, and I had to share the fury. Yes, it's Fox News and it's bad and you'll want to look away. But, seriously, don't turn it off before the final line.

"Irrelevant"? FOX News, as dystopian a TV network as you can imagine, calls Vonnegut irrelevant?
And why the hell is John Podhoretz the "expert" on Vonnegut? It's like getting the neighborhood bully to comment on the life of Gandhi.

John Irving tells some funny Vonnegut stories in this Entertainment Weekly piece...
