Rich, rich irony coming from a Sudanese, but hey! There's more where that came from.

Naomi Klein: $100 billion a year in Danegeld is "insufficient". So what amount of tribute would be enough to satisfy all these people?

Mr roT said...

Naomi is very smart, Tecs. I think she went to Columbia or something.

Tecumseh said...

By the way, according to some poll, this Naomi Klein ranks as 11th "top public intellectual" in the world. Wow. And who's #1? You guessed it. Noam Chomsky.

Feynman weeps.

And, nah, she went to U. Toronto. To study basket-weaving, or something.

Mr roT said...

U Toronto's pretty good. Math Dept is all Princeton exes, I think.

Tecumseh said...

Correct. But how about the Basket-Weaving Dept?

Mr roT said...

Ex-Princeton basket weavers?

Tecumseh said...

Believe it or not, there is such thing as a Department of Basket Weaving. Join, Rot, join!
