I started reading, then skimmed ahead to see how long it was, and noticed he
mentions Ayers ghost-writing Obama's book.

Well, I thought that stupid meme was over and done with. Ayers? Who cares?
Is that still alive and kicking in reich-wing circles? Jesus christ, that
garbage and the secret Muslim stuff is enough to make a rational person cry.
I saw some poll showed that about 25% of Texans thought Obama was a Muslim.
Geez, you think the fear and smear campaigns are working? 

In any case, I stopped reading at that point. 

I hope Hopey wins. Not that I think he'll be all that much different
than Bush in actual practice, but to keep that insane witch from Alaska as
far away from the levers of power as possible. If McCrackers had picked
someone sane and competent as his partner, I wouldn't give a darn either way,
really. They are two wings of the same party. But he didn't.

Anyway, I don't think the people subscribing to disaster capitalist dogma
should fret too much about Obama getting into office. I seem to remember
that Naomi Klein said his economic advisers are of the Chicago School
variety, so we'll probably see more of the same old, same old disaster
capitalism neoliberal stuff we've had for the past 20+ years...

Chomsky didn't say as much about the disaster capitalism here at home and
abroad, but he's just as pragmatic about what he expects as far as "change"
when it comes to foreign policy, too...

Oh, and while he lets both parties have it, as he typically does, he really
gives both barrels to dumb old Bible Spice. :) I mean, it's really hard NOT
to comment on stupidity of that magnitude, though...
