Oh no! It has begun.....

Look, if that translation of a translation of a phone call *was* 
Pynchon, it's not like he said anything most of us around here 
wouldn't agree with. CNN is a lot of propaganda? Hey, there's a 
surprise!  I admit he was a bit hard on the NYT, but his comments are 
hardly validation for Z-Net, Eat the State, Counterpunch, and so on; 
and even less so, are they validation for Doug and Barbara's 
hysterical and unbalanced views.....

PS: Barbara, in light of your last comment, I would really like to 
invite you of a tour of numerous other countries and governments. May 
I suggest we start in North Korea, spend some time in China and 
occupied Tibet, cut down to Iran and Iraq, swing through the Isreali 
occupied territories of Palestine, loop around the Balkan Funworld 
for a bit, spend a long vacation across various places in Africa, 
holiday in France, attend a few literary salons in Cuba, and end your 
tour hobnobbing with the powerful in a few choice Latin American 
countries? Not that the US Men in Black can't be creepy, Draconian, 
or even brutal; but, well, *really.*

PPS: I am just kidding about France. Sort of. Well, at least some of 
the cheeses they eat are creepy.
