Whoops

I'd also be remiss if I didn't note:

1) that on Friday I finished "Imperial Ambitions: Conversations on the Post 9/11 World" by Noam Chomsky and David Barsamian, a fine collection of interviews with America's finest dissident thinker featuring all sorts of trenchant analysis on America's domestic and foreign policy. It's a real shame that Chomsky is banned from the MSM.

2) of course after starting his "Profit Over People: Neoliberalism and Global Order" I can see why he's banned from the MSM: his common sensical debunking of free market hocus pocus and thoughts on the nature of power and who's got it absolutely has to be forbidden from coming anywhere near accepted mainstream dogma about why things are the way they are.

3) and the Tragically Hip's "Hipeponymous" boxed set is great. I'm still working through all 4 discs (2 cd, 2 dvd), but the song selections are a perfect representation of the Hip's enduring art, and the music video collection on the fourth dvd is a real hoot, especially for us folks south of the border who almost NEVER get to see any of them. A full report will be forthcoming...
