NN Friedman V. Pynchon

[Malignd]

<<To my way of thinking, F doesn't deserve to be
mentioned in the same breath as Pynchon, not as a
writer, and certainly not as a journalist. Pynchon's
articles in the New York Times are more interesting
than Friedman's, and Pynchon has the advantage of not
being an apologist for the US sacrifice of innocent
civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq.>>

A fair example of your way of thinking.  And writing.

Or this bit of rich irony:

<<-- they're probably still going over the details of
the PR junket that took Friedman to Google ... How
many shares of Google stock will Friedman own after
Google's IPO? >>

Yes, ha, ha; probably they are.

Shall we, since this is the P-list (and to keep the
discussion in the same vein), talk similarly about
Pynchon's log-rolling?  About his slapping his name on
the back of a Tom Robbins novel?  

Or shall we discredit his observations by noting his
cowardice and utter lack of conviction and commitment
in not using his position to speak out against the
war?
