As opposed to Apple making everyone iPod people

Doc Searls has an interesting extended quote from Kurt Vonnegut, presumably in reaction to last night’s State of the Union address, that calls Dubya a psychopath and laments what’s happened to this country:

I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been.

By coincidence, today’s headline on the Our Dumb Century calendar on my desk at work contained a report from 1957 that Eisenhower’s zombie replacement had announced that 85% of the American population had been converted into pod people with no emotions, with more to come.

I would link to the article the Vonnegut quote comes from, but I can’t seem to get through to that server.
