According to Michael Naumann on "Rasterfahndung" contrary to his "early
years" Pynchon is quite "handsome" today. But I'm still not interested in
how the guy looks like as long as he writes . . .

Well, as you say, "sort of famous" -- I'd call it infamous. This last one
really doesn't make we want to read the other 23 ones:

"Doch nicht Saddam, nicht Ladin, noch sonst ein bärtiges Terrormonster -
Bush jun. erweist sich nach seiner Machterschleichung und dem
WTC-Reichtagsbrand als eigentlicher Wiedergänger Hitlers."

Saying: "But not Saddam, not Ladin nor any other bearded terror-monster --
Bush jr., after having stolen the elections and the WTC-Reichstagsbrand,
turns out to be the real resurrected Hitler."

I wonder if it's enough to have read the increasingly boring various R.A.
Wilson Illuminati-trilogies to get an own column on the web to spread
disinformation and spew propaganda . . . he quotes one "witness" (a doctor,
living in Britain) at the beginning of his article and gets the "truth"
about Al-Kaida. If it's that simple, if bin Ladin had been such a fool to
let everybody look into his organisation . . .

I'm very much concerned too about the "Falcons" in the Bush-government but a
little bit of critical thinking should remain even in times of war. People
like Bröckers are discrediting any criticism of US-foreign or domestic
policy.
