#1 I was at the World Bank book store today (don't ask why its nerdy and stupid) and noticed they have one of Chomsky's anti American anti Israel books on a prominent display (away from the technical stuff).

The World Bank book store also sells world bank hats and world bank t shirts, fyi.

#2 "Christopher Hitchens Silent Genocide Air Quote Dance"

Some things are beyond parody. But I still want to learn the steps to this one. I imagine a lot of en-pointe with arms in the air, crooked at about thirty degrees, index and middle fingers bent sarcastically.

All done deliberately so as not to spill the drink in one's hand. Cigarette in the corner of the mouth is optional(but it does help with the squinting)...

#4 Like the man said, " I know art when I see it."
This ain't it.

#5 Regardless of the merits of the piece itself, Christopher Hitchens Silent Genocide Air Quote Dance sounds like a title Zappa could have been proud of.
