VL-IV Rota Fortunae

[John Bailey]

Has anyone mentioned the "Z Dubya" echo of "G Dubya"? I've got no idea
of the political situation in the States during the time, but Vineland
was released when Bush Snr was in power, right? Was the younger fella
on the radar? Was Zoyd's useless slacker status similar to GW Bush's
itinerant early days?

Not that I'd *ever* put loveable Zoyd in a room with that destroyer of worlds.
