chuckles re Playboy Japan interview, M&D's Washington

I think it's funny that people here who won't admit the authenticity of the
Playboy Japan interview with Pynchon are the same people who disagree with
what he had to say in the interview, i.e., people who in this forum
consistently read Pynchon as a neocon supporter of global capital and
right-wing nationalist politics in the Reagan-Bush-Bush line.

Rewriting Pynchon's portrayal of the Father of Our Country in a way that
would lend "respect" to the US Presidency as practiced by Bush Jr. is
pretty hilarious, too, but impressive as well in the way that watching a
sideshow contortionist at work is always impressive.

Speaking of laughs, you could do worse than read the comic strip that

"Oh yeah! Operation Enduring Freedom is in the house!"
