Just a Little Entry
I'm just doing a little entry today. It's sort of a funny addendum to yesterday's piece. Two funny addendums, actually. First, is this piece linked to by James Woolcott of Vanity Fair. I know nothing about Noam Chomsky. Literally. Nothing. So I thought I'd read this piece. Now I know EVERYTHING about Noam Chomsky, including what a lazy, good-for-nothing bastard he really is:
$5.00?They'rePaying$5.00?What?I'mWholesaleNow?
You have to read the comments to get the full measure of Old Man Chomsky, however. This one is my favourite comment on the piece. Possibly, my favourite comment ever posted on the Internet:
WHEN WILL PEOPLE WAKE UP AN SEE THAT MR. CHOMSKY IS JUST A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING. (A SHILL FOR THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY)

Second is a hilarious misreading of mine concerning that whole 9 year old IRANIAN kid and his family being held in a Texas prison thang, you know, because Stephen Harper and the New Conservative Government of Canada are anti-children. I had, for some bizarre reason, been reading it as ITALIAN. An ITALIAN kid and his family stuck in an American hellhole. So, there I was picturing Mama with her Federico Forquet dress and Sophia Loren hair and Papa with his Da Vinci shirt open to his navel and plenty of gold chains nestled in his thick black chest hair and little Pepe sitting on a stool eating his Chef Boyardi, waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more. And I was wondering... What could it be?... Mafia?.... Why won't Stephen Harper and the New Conservative Government of Canada let this poor Italian family into the country?
It was like being stuck in a really weird Fellini film. For me, I mean.
Oh - and third. Isn't the United States a ridiculous medieval backward shithole of a country? I bet Conrad Black thinks so. Imagine, facing 40 years in prison, or somesuch, for money crimes that really only hurt other rich bastards like yourself. I mean, I'm not saying we're the right way or anything, seeing as we never would have charged him in the first place, being meticulously respectful of rich white crooks, as we are - but still. The prison sentences down there in the good old U.S. of A. are like something straight out of a Monty Python movie.
There. Short and Sweet. Ou81aswell will be happy. AND his tongue won't get sore reading it.
