(9:58 AM) | Adam Kotsko:
Noam Chomsky
Wouldn't it be funny if the title of Chomsky's latest book were Hegemony: Or, Survival?UPDATE: So apparently Iraqis are turning out in large numbers despite attacks intended to deter them. As we've learned so many times in Iraq, deterence doesn't work. I just hope this doesn't turn out to be another one of those trademark "catastrophic successes."
A related idea, and a possible slogan for something: Unlike God, George W. Bush has a Salvadoran option for the poor.
And my biggest worry right now? Comcast is trying to charge me $150 for the rental modem that I returned to them -- they're "looking into it." Also, I got two parking tickets in one day, both of which were wrongful. And I'm just really really upset about that, because I feel like the government and the corporations could just team up to extort all my money from me, and I'd have no recourse -- except, of course, for the fact that I am a white, male, educated American citizen, so I do have recourse, and both of these problems will be cleared up by the end of the week. But yeah, that's what really gets my dander up -- parking tickets and inaccurate bills for my high-speed Internet service.
