Plot Which Has No Name

          Friend Tom:
          "Remember that the Lord loves you. He loves 
          Mr. Pynchon for participating in the Christian 
          Simpsons show. we all wish you a Merry 
          Christmas, even to Jews (Christ was one!), 
          Muslims, Buddhists, transcendentalistis, pantheists,
          agnostics, atheists, communists and so on. We are 
          all God's people."

          Things that make you go: 
          "Oh My God, Am I Here All Alone?"

          Curious, there's no online edition of  
          "The Meritorious Price Of Our Redemption" 
          By William Pynchon and any other copies
          of this seminal text aqre few and far between.
          There is a history of Springfield, Mass:

          Then again, I think it's time we considered other 
          implications for this town of Springfield:

          At the same time, Springfield Massachusetts is the
          first Springfield and vocally and visually speaking, 
          Mayor Quimby is a Kennedy clone. . . .

          . . . .so I wonder how far back in the planning stages
          OBA was involved with the Simpsons. . . .

          ". . . .Actually, it all began with Death to Smoochy. The green 
          light had been given to proceed with Death to Smoochy 
          2 on the strength of the first weekend grosses, as well 
          as some unexpected merchandising feedback. It seemd 
          that “Smoochy the Rhino” items weren’t selling nearly as 
          well as those based on the evil network executive 
          “Marion Frank Stokes,” played by John Stewart. This 
          applied across the spectrum—mouse pads, lunchboxes, 
          T-shirts, McDonald’s tie-ins (the Happy Meal being briefly 
          eclipsed by the Anxious Meal, served in a takeout bag 
          bearing Mr. Stewart’s likeness)—you name it. Kids started 
          showing up at school in business suits and wearing the 
          same peculiar fringe haircut as the Stokes character, 
          provoking peer commentary and vice-principalistic 
          perplexity. . . ."

          And 'The Readers Companion To American History'
          Published by Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston in 1991
          and edited by Eric Foner and John A. Garraty,
          has no references to the Pynchons, though by 1991
          Gravity's Rainbow was practically in the canon and
          the historical import and literary importance of the 
          Pynchon family should has been beyond question.
          Interesting. . . .

          I'm sure some of you out there is radioland think I'm 
          stinking up the place with Red Herrings. At the same 
          time, the educational system is just another corporate 
          empire these days, just think of No Child Left Behind 
          and:

          The history we get is determined by corporate entities 
          such as Houghton Mifflin Company:

          "Houghton Mifflin Company traces its history back to 1832, 
          when William Ticknor purchased The Old Corner Bookstore 
          in Boston and, together with partner James Fields, 
          established a publishing house. By the mid-nineteenth 
          century, Ticknor and Fields had assembled the most 
          distinguished list of writers ever associated with one 
          American publisher, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 
          Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher 
          Stowe, Mark Twain, and Henry David Thoreau. . . .
                          ---------------------------------
         With those kinds of writers on board so early on, you'd
         think there would be room to mention the very first book 
         to both written and burned in America, you would think 
         there would be enough inclusion, that much slack available.
                          ---------------------------------
          . . . .In 2001, Houghton Mifflin was acquired by Vivendi 
          Universal, an international media group. Shortly thereafter, the 
          Company was sold to Thomas H. Lee, Bain Capital, and The 
          Blackstone Group, becoming a privately held company again. . . .

          . . . . History/Corporations, there's a deep connection there . . . .

          As long as I'm Stencilizing:

          . . . .To go along assuming that Victoria the girl tourist and 
          Veronica  the sewer rat were one and the same V. was not at 
          all to bring up any metempsychosis: only to affrim that his quarry 
          fitted in with The Big One, the century's master cabal, in the same 
          way Victoria had with the Vheissu plot and Veronica with the new 
          rat order. If she was a historical fact then she continued active 
          today and at the moment, because the ultimate Plot Which Has No 
          Name was as of yet unrealized, though V. might be no more a she 
          than a sailing vessel or a nation. 
          V., pg. 240  [Harper Perennial Modern Classics]

          Well, if "V.'s" a vessel, could V. be http://tinyurl.com/24jwkc ?

          Of course the plot picks up steam in that same passage, as we 
          turn to Yoyodyne [Boeing Boeing?] and Mondaugen, who is
          clearly an ex-Nazi picked up by Boeing, probably someone 
          TRP bumped into, or heard of during his recent stay at Boeing.
          There's Peenemunde, there's the V's 1 & 2, there's yet another 
          connector to "the The Big One, the century's master cabal", 
          the fall of the House of Pynchon and the rise of the House of 
          Brown Brothers Harriman and Company.
