Colfax Vibe: Into the Pynchon-Verse - a running compendium of politicos with Pychonian names

I've seen several examples in recent months, so why not a thread to catalog them all? Nominating Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon to begin the thread, as (doubly) pointed out by C. Grisso/McCain in the rolling politics thread.

I was contemplating an ILM style poll of favorite character names. AtD alone has too many for a button poll.

I guess that’s the opposite of what this thread is for.

Blanking on more, but seems like there was a fuck-ton of these working for Trump

That's what I looking to catalog right there!

xp - a Pynchon character poll would be fun, but I feel like it would take multiple rounds just to whittle down to the top 50!
