He'd make a great grandfather to gain wisdom from.

This story really speaks to me about just how far our standards for achievement have fallen over the years. We live (at least I, an American live) in a culture that far and away prizes not feeling anything resembling bad ever above actually accomplishing a damn thing that's actually worthwhile. And I absolutely hate it.

How many creative Geniuses are assholes in real life? Does that mean that we neo-serfs, vulgus, should be deprived of what little pleasure we can still afford? Garrison Keillor's replacement on public radio is a fine fellow I am sure but I doubt that his best day will ever be even somewhat close to Garrison Keillor's worst.

Now we live in amphetamines' horrors dens.
