Great interview with Kurt Vonnegut:

Great interview with Kurt Vonnegut: Kurt Vonnegut vs. the !&#*!@ at In These Times:

[In These Times:]My feeling from talking to readers and friends is that many people are beginning to despair. Do you think that we've lost reason to hope?
[KV:] I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup d'etat imaginable. And those now in charge of the federal government are upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography, plus not-so-closeted white supremacists, aka "Christians," and plus, most frighteningly, psychopathic personalities, or "PPs."
