But, Pynchon comes back to the topic of the Bush
family again and again.  If Pynchon thinks it's a
worthy topic, why should it be inappropriate for
Pynchon-L?  

In the Foreword to _1984_, Pynchon appears to refer
directly to the Bush Administration:

"It has become a commonplace, circa 2003, for
government employees to be paid more than most of the
rest of us to debase history, trivialise truth and
annihilate the past on a daily basis."

from _Vineland_:
"Harken unto me, read thou my lips, for verily I say
that wheresoever the CIA putteth in its meathooks upon
the world, there also are to be found those substances
which God may have created but the U.S. Code hath
decided to control. Get me? Now old Bush used to be
head of CIA, so you figure it out." 

Don't forget the Playboy Japan interview, where
Pynchon made the effort to remind readers, not long
after September 11, 2001,  that the Bush and bin Laden
families have been in business together.
