What would Bill Hicks say?

Soft Skull Press recently published the highly recommended book, What Would Bill Hicks Say?...a collection of rants, monologues, and dissertations the late comedian just might spout if he were to return today (Hicks died in 1994). Including in that book is this entry from none other than yours truly:

So you’re telling me that since I left, Bush’s son stole two elections and is bombing the #### out of Iraq, the Twin Towers are gone, Arnold’s a governor, Hillary’s a senator, no one eats carbs anymore, sit-coms have been replaced with reality TV, O.J. killed his wife and walked, Mumia and Peltier are still in prison, and so is Martha Stewart, Cobain blew his brains out, and half the planet drives around in giant fuckin’ jeeps, talking on their own private phones?

Later...
