Exhausted Noam Chomsky Just Going To Try And Enjoy The Day For Once

"LEXINGTON, MA—Describing himself as "terribly exhausted," famed linguist and political dissident Noam Chomsky said Monday that he was taking a break from combating the hegemony of the American imperialist machine to try and take it easy for once."

"I just want to lie in a hammock and have a nice relaxing morning," said the outspoken anarcho-syndicalist academic, who first came to public attention with his breakthrough 1957 book Syntactic Structures. "The systems of control designed to manufacture consent among a largely ignorant public will still be there for me to worry about tomorrow. Today, I'm just going to kick back and enjoy some much-needed Noam Time."

Onion does it again. :rofl:

According to sources close to the thinker, Chomsky also considered taking time to "plop down on the couch in boxers and watch TV," but grew suddenly enraged when The Price Is Right came on, commodifying the lie of American consumer satisfaction in a pseudo- entertainment context.

:rofl:

it's true too - you do need to take a break from this stuff cause "The systems of control designed to manufacture consent among a largely ignorant public" will indeed still be there tomorrow. I mean, don't go so far as to watch American Idol, but maybe read a book or something. ;)

Well, as a language person, I'll still never forgive him for tranformational grammar.

:P

I need to take a day out of life. I know it's a parody, but I really do. I'm so tired.
