And not one man, in these last hundred years or so, has been crazy enough to put a bomb up the asshole of creation and set it off. The world is rotting away, dying piecemeal. But it needs the coup de grace, it needs to be blown to smithereens. Not one of us is intact, and yet we have in us all the continents and the seas between the continents and the birds of the air. We are going to put it down — the evolution of this world which has died but which has not been buried.”<br/><br/> - <em>Henry Miller</em>http://log.jhnmcknght.org/post/350174363http://log.jhnmcknght.org/post/350174363Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:01:33 -0500quotehenry miller“I feel like a jigsaw puzzle missing a piece.

It’s not your fault that a washed up hack of a comedian can’t let go of all he has left in his career; late night television.
