Why are people wishing Mark Twain happy birthday?

If Mark Twain were alive and witnessed 9/11, phony pretexts for war, more
lies than you can possibly invent, Abu Ghraib, recent Pentagon report that
it's not communication that's the problem for the US in the Middle East but
policies, God Thumpers, Anti-Evolutionists, and on and on -- he'd be
eagerly awaiting the joyous arrival of death.

Stay dead, Mr. Twain, and enjoy it.
