Murdered By Capitalism - TRP Support Notice

Pynchon's words for Murdered By Capitalism: 

               "It is a ripsnorting and honorable account of an
               outlaw tradition in American politics which too seldom
               gets past the bouncers at the gateways of our national
               narrative."

I guess that means that he will let pass (fuckit, man, look---the dude's 
jumping up and down in his goddamned chair) when he's reading---

"What labor needs is dynamite, the only means to make the plutocrats 
and the white collar mob  know they are hated." or "The U.S. Media 
reported the first Gulf War as if it were good clean family fun, an exciting, 
educational video game for all ages. the murdered and the maimed 
never showed up on TV dead or alive." or "About time," snarled Darby. 
"I say let's set off our barrage tonight in honor of the Haymarket bomb, 
bless it, a turning point in American history, and the only way working 
people will ever get a fair shake under that miserable economic 
system---through the wonders of chemistry!"---oops, sorry, Pynchon 
wrote that last one now, didn't he? Check his blurbs for all the books 
he's recommended, then read the books he's recomending and then 
tell me who's doing the talking here, what the intent of this master 
narrative voice really is, where we can find the "point" of these 
Menippean Satires. Cause if it's satire, somebody's gonna get skewered. 
And something tells me it's more likely gonna be Jay Gould than 
Mario Savio.
