feeding hungry people

[mike j]

doug is an angry man. and he's right, the 'net loss'
is fucked up, and cnn doesn't gve a shit. that's why i
turned off cnn. now if i could only just turn off
pynchon-l, i wouldn't have to hear doug complaining
and freaking out every other second. maybe if we all
send doug a dollar he'll calm the fuck down. what's
yer address doogie?
