Interesting is a dangerous term. Especially when used outside some 
reference frame that gives it a less volatile meaning. What is 
interesting to you is uninteresting to others. What is interesting to 
Those in Power may well be uninteresting to the Little People. & so 
on. I don't think you'll go very find using that tool. While there 
are heaps of evidence that Pyn. is deliberately, relentlessly, 
mercilessly and sometime angrily poking fun at the right-wing Reagan 
weltanschauung (ok, world view is a less highfalutin term... though 
the meaning is practically the same). Which is more or less the dish 
being served right now in the US and in Italy.
