Way to go Noam

Noam Chomsky, the American linguistics expert and US foreign policy critic, was named the world's top public intellectual, according to a new British magazine poll released.

And Noam was in some good company Umberto Eco-2nd, Richard Dawkins-3rd, and one of my personal heroes, Vaclav Havel-4th.

Non-scientific, but still..... And wouldn't you think that someone who would poll this high as the top public intellectual, whose name has been made in criticizing US Foreign Policy, might just once or twice find his way onto a cable news network during the controversial last few years.

Nope. Can't have criticism of the empire.
