I agree with pynchonoid.  It was clearly sabotaged by right-wing thugs who 
found they could not fit what Pynchon has to say about Orwell into their neat 
little box (they know who they are).  Maybe they should start a Hitchens list 
for neo-con ass-kissing.  To give credit where credit is due, though, I don't 
think one can put Otto into their gang, much as he does seem to have it in for 
Millison.
