Apocalypse Not! or What Pynchon got wrong: Bill Joy or Kill Joy?

[Robin Landseadel]

This is my question—how would T/A/F deal with the following passage,  
like many passages of a similar nature provided by the narrator of  
Bleeding Edge? This is not one of the characters/mouthpieces/political  
placeholders speaking but apparently the author hisself, busting  
through some theoretical fourth wall:

	Now and then a taxing entity like the NYC Finance Department will hire
	an outside examiner, especially when there's a Republican mayor, given
	the party's curious belief that private sector always equals good and
	public bad.
