Via WFMU's Beware of the Blog I've discovered the writings of Francis E. Dec, a fine practitioner of the art of insane rants that fill every square centimeter of a page, sent randomly to thousands of people and businesses. He was probably schizophrenic, but as the site devoted to him says, he also had a way with words.

In weaving his surreal worldview Dec likes to string descriptive words together: "laser beam knife robot arms" and "proliferated degenerating parroting puppet con artist..." (that one goes on for quite a while). And then there is his central concept, the Worldwide Mad Deadly Communist Gangster Computer God. The style viscerally conveys his panic and paranoia. It reminds me of Radiohead or Flaming Lips lyrics, and inspires me to write some of my own. The illustrations that have been made to go along with the writings at the above-linked site also had me laughing pretty hard at work.
