DeLillo Blogging

A few months too late, but this Onion blog post by "Don DeLillo" is hysterical. The title - "All The Electric Premonition That Rides The Sky Being A Drama Of Human Devising" - tells you all you need to know. Another taste:

In the morning, Electorate, he passes people trooping away from home with their newspapers, bearers of a weight that goes beyond pounds and ounces. They headed up an avenue still blistered with the flotsam of campaign advisers, of newspapermen. Men and women, almost in single file, leaning into wind, faces steeled against complaint, obligated to carry this load. They are standard-bearers, foot-soldiers, walk-on spear-carriers with tiny but necessary roles, of an idea first given a name by ancient Greeks. No one can say for sure yet if it really works.
