Watching "Zeitgeist" reminded me of that Playboy Japan interview
purported to be a Pynchon quote.  "Most of The News Is Propaganda" and
"There Might Be No Bin Laden Ever Existed."  So I went over to Otto's
site and re-read it.  God, it is such a rambling mess.  Whoever wrote
that sounds like they have Attention Deficit Disorder (on drugs,
maybe?):
