Vonnegut on Bush

Kurt Vonnegut is now 82-years old and no longer cranks out wonderful novels such as Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat's Cradle, and Breakfast of Champions. But he does still contribute occasional articles to various magazines, and he recently published a non-fiction collection of essays called A Man Without a Country. "It's a nice glass of champagne at the end of a life," said Vonnegut of his latest literary accomplishment.

As would be expected, Vonnegut has a few words of criticism for the Bush administration in his new book. Among the many choice nuggets is this observation:

George W. Bush has gathered around him upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography."
