Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut

"He wrote a story one time about an optimistic chimpanzee who became President of the United States." Wow, he wrote this back in 1973; we recently had a terrible incident about a comic and a monkey reference. Was Vonn prescient or will he be burned at the stake? Ah, who cares, his writing certainly had some flair in this little gem.

O.K., I just looked, he died April 11, 2007 at age 84, so he won't be burned - or maybe he already was. Perhaps he's taken his Galaxie somewhere special.

I look forward to reading further from Vonnegut.
