Pretty good for a dead guy.  BTW, when Chávez said at
a news conference that one of his greatest regrets was
not getting to meet Chomsky before he died, was this a
joke -- i.e., a suggestion that anyone with the
temerity to make Chomsky's claims about the US would
of course get bumped off by the government?  Chávez
seems to be an exceptionally deft communicator --
unlike, say, a certain Supreme Pontiff of the
Universal Church whom I can think of -- so I wouldn't
be surprised if this were jest.
