We understand exactly who and what got us into this mess. Now, we don’t mind cleaning it up… But don’t just stand there and say, ‘You’re not holding the mop right.’ Instead of standing on the sidelines, why don’t you grab a mop? Help us clean up this mess and get America back on track!

I think Heller’s argument was not with war or with death but with God. That the novel is less about the death of Snowden than “the death of God,” as that theological tendency was known back then. That what the novel is really about is theodicy. Theodicy being of course the subcategory of theology which attempts (and studies the attempts) to reconcile human suffering, cruelty, and evil with the existence of an all-powerful, all-knowing, loving God. Heller doesn’t think it can be done.

He makes this extremely daring, radically blasphemous argument—essentially that God is, if not evil, then hopelessly incompetent—most explicitly in the chapter about the soldier who “sees everything twice.”

and from that day forward, women embraced their diversity and realized that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. Ah ha ha. No. I’m totally messing with you. All Beyonce and J.Lo have doe is add to the laundry list of attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person the closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.
