           Daniel Julius:
           What does The Simpsons have to do 
           with Death to Smoochy, or The Daily
           Show?  I'm sorry if this is incredibly 
           obvious, I just don't follow!

Sure Danny! This link :  http://tinyurl.com/ywxf54

           The Evolution of the Daily Show

           “The Daily Show: Ten Fu@#ing Years (The Concert)”
           16 November 2006, NYC

           The Evolution of the Daily Show
           By Thomas Pynchon

Now, if you will be pleased to note, this
essay clearly has much in common with 
the content and style of the Simpsons. 
But wait---there's more:

          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. 

Quimby is a fake Teddy but he still has a Massachusetts
accent, thus [by the power invested in me by profound
paranoia] I figure they must be pointing at the town 
famously founded by Jebediah Pynchon, uh, I mean 
William Slothrop, I mean. . . .

And the only thing our friend Tom has appeared on so 
far is the back cover blurb for "The Harpooned Heart."
