He never fails to bring something incredible to his latest additions to his worlds. I still break out laughing when i read his books for the first time. UK satirist, but he’s made no end of little nudges and quite blatant thwacks at the US (and anyone else being stupid while he was writing whatever it was at the time.) </p> <p>I still need to explore a bit more of the US ones, if only to see if Twain has any living heirs. We’re going to need them badly for the next few generations. If only to keep us laughing while we shoulder the load, and keep us honest.</p> My favorite and current satirist follows more in Jonathan Swift’s footsteps, which is Terry Pratchett.

There’s one but he’s no longer living. George Carlin. I still miss him so much after his passing earlier this year. That was an honest shock, last i’d seen him on a special he was ornery and amused as ever while dropping all the snark bombs he could in the midst of a single tv special. Reminds me i need to pick up some of the books he put out in the last 8 or so years. </p> <p>Vonnegut i need to experience. *grin* I’ll take your word for it. It’s insane that we’ve lost so many singular wits this year.</p> Wait. There’s one but he’s no longer living. George Carlin. I still miss him so much after his passing earlier this year.

Vonnegut i need to experience. *grin* I’ll take your word for it. It’s insane that we’ve lost so many singular wits this year.
