>You just got the ballot? What a nightmare. They used the wrong mailing

>That ACE mailer is a deceptive piece of crap put together by direct
marketing whiz Steve Brown, a man who got rich through late >night TV ads, selling junk to the gullible. He laid out the thing to make it look like I was endorsing the slate - and not just me, but >Noam Chomsky too. He quoted something I wrote and used my pic without ever asking me. He doesn't say it's an endorsement - >it's just supposed to look that way, which is how everyone takes it. He used a DVD of Chomsky speaking as a come-on in that >mailer without Chomsky's approval, and to his great annoyance. When I complained, Brown's response was basically, "tough!" Same >to Chomsky's agent.


>So fuck 'em. Just stick with the people that Esther & I & the rest
endorsed.

Meanwhile the conspiracy zanies are accusing you of laying down in the sack with the corporate takeover gang! Arrrrgh... double jeopardy indeed.

But look on the positive side, you are regarded as a left celebrity in the same pantheon as Chomsky...
