Darlings, This Is Jonathan Franzen Week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girls, I am telling you, the mud doesn't stop slinging when it comes to Jonathan Franzen. Newsweek has gotten into the same act as Mesdames Weiner and Picoult, by declaring him, basically a pretentious, elitist snob (which The Raving Queen happens to be, girls, and damn proud of it), for one reason that he considered the Tony award-winning musical, "Spring Awakening" a bastardization of the play. Well, duh, that is a no-brainer-it WAS and it IS. Too many Americans are so damn dumb they do not appreciate genius, and, like those in the Emperor's New Clothes, cannot see the truth when it stares them in the face. What is it that Franzen cannot write something without people getting all worked up about it. People just resent those who are smarter than others, and Franzen is far superior to most members of his generation,which means he is on a par with MOI, darlings.

Did you know that his classic "The Corrections" was published the week of 9/11. Now, no one who died in that tragic incident deserved it, BUT Franzen has been taken to task by some for actually opining, girls, that modern, free-market capitalism is a cause of evil in America. Well, duh, that strikes me as a no-brainer, too. However suddenly hitherto liberals are reduced to the rhetoric of tea paty-ers. Has anyone stopped to consider that the reason 9/11 happened was because when the World Trade Center was built in 1973 it went on to become a monument to American corporate greed, so that, in a snese, we as a nation were philosophically asking for terrorists to attack us by tooting our horn too much???? Has this occured to anyone?
It has to me, and I am sure it has to Franzen, and God forbid we should state this or otherwise we will be shot by both left and right. To all of these self-righteous hypocrites and Franzen dergoators, I say--FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile, girls, not since "Gone With The Wind," or the final Harry Potter, has such a book been awaited. Tonight I am traispisng down to Three Lives after work, to meet the lovely Monsieur Davide, and if I can shake my chassie to get a copy, you better believe I will, while comforting Monsieur Davide for his ill mannered Uncle Ernest, who hasn't learned (and probably never will) that to get treated nicely, you have to treat others that way.

You can bet we are all ready here to treat Franzenn nicely. To think, that a serious, literary event has knocked Paris Hilton and her drug arrest off the pages of this blog. Perhaps there is hope for America yet. Meantime, loves, I hope for success for all of you in obtaining a copy of the NEW JONATHAN FRANZEN, which is entitled "Freedom!" Amen to Jesus! Sometimes I feel like a Motherless child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love to all my children, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
