May 4, 2007 9:00am: Al Qaeda Hates Your Commute!
Did terrorists cause SF's freeway meltdown? How about your lousy haircut? Spilled coffee? Sure!This is how it works: Random accidents happen all across America, every single minute. Water mains burst, light bulbs pop, smoke alarms wail, bad haircuts resound, you run out of hot water in the shower and the evil coldness rains down upon your humble flesh and your nipples are like oh my God someone please make it stop.

It gets worse. Traffic accidents wreak havoc, fires erupt in old buildings, trees fall and sinkholes collapse and birds die and Britney shows the world far too much of her labia as giant tanker trucks full of chicken fat overturn on a Midwest highway and everyone for forty miles around sniffs the air and thinks of rancid buckets of KFC.

Then the magic happens. The media gets ahold of the drama. It is spun and torqued and packaged and handed back to you like an unwanted gift, like that nasty polka-dot sweater you didn't want for Christmas, and everyone seems to lap it up like force-fed puppy dogs and of course in the never-ending wake of Sept. 11 that context invariably has something to do with -- say it with me now -- terrorism.

KURT VONNEGUT: 1922-2007 / Darkly comic novelist a counterculture hero: Apr 13, 2007 10:32am 1 review literature
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/04/12/MNGKFP79CJ1.DT...; "Vonnegut eschewed traditional structure and punctuation. His books were a mixture of fiction and autobiography, prone to one-sentence paragraphs, exclamation points and italics. Graham Greene called him "one of the most able of living American writers." Some critics said he had invented a new literary type, infusing the science-fiction form with humor and moral relevance and elevating it to serious literature."
