Nice. Witty yet reflective political commentary. However, don't think it would ever make School House Rock

Since the cartoon is tagged 'Noam' and 'Chomsky', my reaction is directed there.

If I had realized, back when I was a freshman in college, that I could secure a chair at a prestigious university simply by stating the obvious over and over and over...

Is Chomsky (and the cartoon tagged 'Noam' 'Chomsky') correct? Sure. Does it matter? No. Now don't get all wrapped up. I don't have a problem with Chomsky because he's leftist or anti-American. I wouldn't characterize him as either. The problem is, I can't tell from his endless monologe of the obvious exactly what he would want America to be.

The endless list of what America has done wrong is obvious, but so what? What does he want America to be. Does he ever talk about what America should be, or is everything only this endless list of wrongs?

When I listen to Chomsky, and I have tried, I always end up feeling just exactly as I do when I've tried listening to Limbaugh (although I gave that up years ago). As far as I can tell, Chomsky is just as big a bag of wind as Rush, just at the other end of the spectrum: one blowing from the right, and one, I assume, blowing from the left.

Cute cartoon, though.

everyone's got their opinion. Guess I still don't see how they think saddam, ossama, and whoever else they lsited were on the cia payroll.

I don't know that Chomsky wants us to do anything...about anything.

What he does do is put forth is information that is normally not well known, or that most could care less to know about.

and i cant remember what we helped saddam with (forgive me, im sick and i have had a splitting headache for three days now...)

just explaining, personally, im for the war on terror. if only we would actually FIGHT it... not saying the the corps men and women are not fighting, just that the higherups need to stop worrying about campaign issues and get this war finished...

We helped the afghans but not sure if it was osama directly.
