The Lunatics Have Taken Control Of The Asylum!
From Breitbart.com:
Noam Chomsky, the American linguistics expert and US foreign policy critic, was named the world's top public intellectual, according to a new British magazine poll released.Best known for his loud and consistent criticism of the Vietnam War and US foreign policy over the last 40 years, Chomsky, 76, decisively beat Italian novelist and academic Umberto Eco and third-placed Oxford University professor Richard Dawkins to top the poll."
Chomsky stated:
I don't pay a lot of attention to [the polls]," adding that "it was probably padded by some friends of mine."
I think I'm gonna be ill.

They have nothing else to contribute, except prizes, awards and bumper stickers.

Chill GM! After all, it's just a poll, not some long sought after truth.

For the love of GAWD. (rolling my eyes)
Give me a break. Noam? He's a jerk. But he does have a cult like following doesn't he?
Scary.

Books written by Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn are standard fare for very, very many "history" and "political science/government" courses held at colleges and universities across America. Many of those colleges and universities are public institutions....i.e. they receive money from the taxpayers of the state and the Federal government.
Stated another way, we are paying to shoot ourselves in the head.
