Kurt Vonnegut is gone, and way too soon.
He was only 84.
As regular readers of this page may have noticed, I've been having trouble putting words together lately -- blogger's block, maybe? -- and this news is not going to help one bit.
I'll come back and start something -- even if it's only an open thread -- later in the day. But in the meantime, if you're looking for me, you'll find me in mourning.

Chris Floyd has more.
