Subject: Kathy Acker, Good Riddance


"Kathy Acker died? Good riddance," exulted Hilton Kramer.
"One fewer ex-expatriate gutter artists who fled America to 
find fortune and notoriety in defilement-obsessed Europe then, 
nadir passed, slouched toward Bethlehemic California for wringing 
a finale of pitiful reruns of mogul arts grants before descending 
into the Baja underbelly for God's award of slow excrutiating
death of neglect, and once dead, pre-immemorialized by bizarre 
fundraising appeals of bisexual thieves -- ye gods, asking
in the PIN of John Giorno! of all sub rosa pennyforgerers."

On the same day, Kramer acclaimed: 

Soros donating $4.3 million to Acker erasure;

Cindy juxtaposing Acker;

Gillian mimicking Acker, at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35;

Canada shutting seven nuke reactors, "whose Ackers drank beer, 
smoked marijuana and slept on duty;"

And, Reno Ackering POTUS VPOTUS.
