Chomsky is right, but the point will prove to be moot. Kerry threw away the election when he said he'd have voted for the war, regardless of the WMD lies. Kerry's only hope now is to promise something liberal in an area where he hasn't already hung himself with meaningless evasion (e.g., his health care "plan"), like uncapping the FICA tax. He won't do it. I hope he does, but he won't. He's never taken a political risk in his life, and John McCain is his "best friend in the Senate," according to the atrocious "Air America Radio." Oh, yeah -- he's also a billionaire.

ok, classics scholars, it probably isn't "ipse" in the case of a living, breathing white guy, but you get my meaning. see the excerpted interview between noam chomsky and his boswell, david barsamian, featured today on commondreams.org. anyone interested in continuing to prop up the hard line on the alleged dime's worth of difference between bush and kerry are directed towards the end of the excerpt. it's a quarter's difference, and, for me at least, dr. chomsky's final sentence below says it all.

peace, jk
