blaming Clinton-(Terrance)

[John Lundy]

Jasper,

You better be wrong about Doug and Babs being one and the same.  Every time 
Babs writes about her arse in the air or cum sliding down somebody or 
other's throat my mind's eye runs wild with the possibilities.  If the 
reality is that what I'm really fantasising about is a dalliance with Doug, 
then, boy, am I in trouble.

They're two fine writers, with much to say.  Now knock it off, I could 
raise similar concerns about the monolithic nature of the redneck claptrap 
of their opponents, but me?  I haven't time.  I'm sitting here with a nice 
bottle of French champagne on ice waiting for the announcement that Thomas 
Ruggles Pynchon has won the Nobel Prize for literature.  It will be great 
to see him turn it down.  Lots of you guys know the details of the man's 
life better than I do.  What was the award he refused to accept with regret 
because "not only was it a lovely statuette but is 24 carat gold and, thus, 
would have been a nice hedge against inflation?"
