J.D. Salinger

Well many of you have already heard the old news that author J.D. Salinger passed away last week in his home in remote New Hampshire. Well Stephen Colbert from The Colbert Report talked about it, and of course The Onion did a short article about "the phonies" that now mourn him. I'm not going to sit here and say that Salinger was one of the greatest authors of all time, the only thing I'm going to say that after reading his book it opened my eyes to my own character and how brave of a author he really was to write his widely criticized novel. Thanks J.D...

Bunch of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger

CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn't do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. "He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers," said hot-shot English professor David Clarke, who is just like the rest of them, and even works at one of those crumby schools that rich people send their kids to so they don't have to look at them for four years. "There will never be another voice like his." Which is exactly the lousy kind of goddamn thing that people say, because really it could mean lots of things, or nothing at all even, and it's just a perfect example of why you should never tell anybody anything.
