RIP David Foster Wallace

Author of one of my favorite nearly-unreadable-but-if-you-can-stick-with-it-it's-worth-it books, "Infinite Jest". Hanged himself at his home in California at age 46.[/url]
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.
-- Robert G. Ingersoll
