NWR: RIP

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

Vaclev Havel.

Inevitable, passage from the stage of life is still inevitably sad. Together with Lech Walesa of the same era, Havel has been a contemporary hero.

 

[Cory Cartwright]

That Havel's death should be balanced with Kim Il-Jong's is fitting. RIP, Havel.

havel and zappa were great friends and fans of each other. (do i recall correctly that zappa was havel's first minister of music, or something like that?) i like to picture zappa providing the processional for havel's entrance to the great beyond.

and wasn't jerry garcia lech walesa's minister of music too?

But the new guy's face is fat and round, just like his father's, and I understand he has a mean streak.

means that he has had little time to consolidate power, instability...

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

therefore easier to topple and install a western puppet, which is what we all want

 

[Sharon Bowman]

at least we have toppled the tyranny of capitalization and punctuation
