I've looked at life from both sides now, from up and down
through Iceland Spar, and now I'm getting strange
somehow,  and otherwise anticipating enlightment. . . .

          Michael Bailey:
          omg, nobody yet has quoted "if voting could change 
          anything it would be illegal" nor inveighed against the 
          whole process and encouraged people not to vote 
          because it legitimizes the illusion...
          where are all the anarchists on the list?

That was my High School Student Party Platform, where in my campaign
I urged students to monkey-wrench ballots so as to break the voting 
machine. I got three votes. My friend Tom Riccota ran on a surrealist 
platform, extoling the virtues of the then-present student body president's 
late model Lincoln Continental, begging for your votes so he can 
have the car's mojo, the champion's chariot. He got eight votes.
 
           Michael Bailey:
           also, leave us remember that there is major fixage 
           and finagling:

How much do you know of La Mayonnaise?

           that the winner has probably already been decided 
           in one of the minor subcommittees of the Bilderberger 
           Group in between more important matters...

          Michael Bailey:
          and that Nature & Nature's God (however you want to call 
          it) will still be in charge no matter who shits in the White 
          House bathroom.

. . . .one aspect being the Angel of Death, 
familiar company to us True Pynchonites. . . .

          Michael Bailey:
          As Gerard Manly Hopkins wrote:
          "nature is never spent;
          There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
          And though the last lights off the black West went
          Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs—
          Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
          World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings."

          Die liebe Erde allüberall
          Blüht auf im Lenz und grünt aufs neu! 
          Allüberall und ewig
          Blauen licht die Fernen!
          Ewig... ewig...

My dear dead friend Jason Halleman told me that Hans 
Knappertsbusch would conduct "Das Lied von der Erde" 
using an oar becasue "Der Abschied creaks without a paddle".

          Michael Bailey:
          anyway, how about that glow around Tancredi as he 
          approaches Vibe? 
          Puts me in mind of the glowing briefcase in Pulp Fiction...

Um. . . ., lunchmeat. . . .
