This is bullshit. The ruckus is due to the banality of the content.
>I suspect it persists, however, because pynchon might very well be saying
>something you, some of you, at any rate, don't want him to say. Not quite
>sure what that might be, but ...
More bullshit. You make another baseless charge, and then you back away as
if you hadn't REALLY made it. If you're going to make a charge, then MAKE
IT! The truth is, the speaker (if it is Pynchon) says nothing really
controversial, only stupid. The "there might never have been a Bin Laden"
statement (is this the "what that might be?") is a lame rhetorical device.
I don't expect even the speaker believes that to be literal.
It's not Doug (though he wishes it were), and it's not controversial
content, it's the stupidity, stupid!
