Noam Chomsky's Nervous Breakdown
Noam Chomsky the philosopher, political activist, and in his spare time a linguistics professor at M.I.T. is bemoaning the results of last Novembers election. The elitist emeritus is biting his fingernails over the impudence of the unwashed masses and their rejection of the progressive agenda. The demigod deigned to come down from Mt. Olympus and gave an interview. Here is an excerpt:
“There’s other factors like the anger, and the fear and hostility in the country about everything carries over to this,” Chomsky said. “So if you look at polls, everyone hates Congress. They hate the Democrats. They hate the Republicans even more. They hate big business. They hate banks and they distrust scientists. So why should we believe what these pointy-head elitist are telling? We don’t trust anything else. We don’t trust them.”
And with good reason. But what disturbs his majesty the most is the outright refutation of anthropogenic global warming and what that means with the new republicans taking over House committees:
“One of the reasons is because they’re global warming deniers,” he said. “Almost all – that means the powerful House committees, like science and technology and so on, are in hands of people who think there’s nothing to it – or at least claim that they think that, but what they actually think is another story.”
Does Noam Chomsky live in a bubble? Take a look outside yahoo! I guess the Noam hasn’t heard of ClimateGate either. Maybe Professor Elitist Emeritus should read other magazines other than The Nation.
This hostile takeover has set the genius of M.I.T. into a feverish mind melting breakdown. The end of the world is coming, and it’s all because the “little people” rose up and threw the paternalistic snobs out of office:
“If this was happening in some small country, in you know maybe Monaco or something, it wouldn’t matter much, but when it’s happening in the richest, most powerful country in the world – it’s a danger to the survival of the species,” Chomsky said. “Nobody else is going to do much if the United States doesn’t do a lot, not just some but take the lead. So we’re essentially saying let’s kiss each other goodbye.”
I wouldn’t be surprised to see the philosopher king huddled in a corner, sucking his thumb and clutching his blanket.

You should go sit in a corner under a blanket.
