BTW, Jean Beaudrillard has made a compost-load of money
doing much the same thing (although not with the emotional anti-
american animus), but with more justification, as he was a post-marxian
media analyst, whereas Chomsky was a relatively obscure proponent of
generative linguistics (but that expertise has been profoundly useful in
his self-marketing of his particular anti-american biases). I am
profoundly pissed off at Ralph Nader for his contribution to the disputed
election of Dubya Shrub, but at least he had more a valid and relevant
curriculum vitae.
