If Thomas Pynchon finally gave an interview at age 88, who would be the ideal interviewer? Somehow it would make sense if it was Letterman. Two wiseass American icons, one a TV legend and the other a legendary TV addict

The other night, we watched the film Michael Clayton, and I learned the word "whickering" from its closed-captioned horses. The next day, I came across the word "whickered" in the latest Thomas Pynchon book.

I keep looking at this and thinking about that Pynchon character who thinks a national socialist chemistry can be built with ionic bonding and that covalent bonds are liberal and gay. RIP Laslo Jamf you would have tried to build a chemistry based on lead instead of carbon if you were real
