Kesher Talk

Who blow up da owl? Who? Amiri Baraka - former Poet Laureate of New Jersey - is still in fine form. He has a letter in the Village Voice this week, responding to an article by Nat Hentoff describing Mugabe's crimes:

Dear Nat,

You (and the Voice) have sunk almost to zoo dirt. Mugabe's victims? Do you mean the ex-colonial landowners? That land is owned by the crown! As for "one of the most ceaselessly brutal dictators on the grim surface of the earth," you mean Sharon? Certainly his kill record rivals anyone's but Bush 2's!
