Chomsky #1 at Amazon

While I'd heard about Hugo Chavez's speech at the U.N., I didn't know until this morning that he urged Americans to read Noam Chomsky.

At the start of his talk Wednesday, Chavez held up a book by Chomsky, Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance, and recommended it to everyone in the General Assembly, as well as to the American people.

"The people of the United States should read this ... instead of … watching Superman movies," the long-time critic of U.S. foreign policy later told reporters.


I looked at the Amazon sales ranks a short while ago and lo & behold, Chomsky is atop the list.
