Noam Chomsky, MIT, has been on the landscape a long time and has had made major contributions not only to linguistics but to computer science in the form of context-free-grammars. The fact that he is a social activist in his opinions and life has always attracted me to want to hear what he has to say. Since the 1970s when I learned about context-free-grammars and at the same time about his social activism I have seen or heard him again and again. It is no surprise to see him with Amy Goodman and on Democracy Now. This is I am sure not his first appearance. The interview is 13+ minutes on the 15th year anniversary Democracy Now - wide ranging with quite a few points about Madison and unions and events since February 11th.

Can A Bird Fly With Only A Right Wing?!
Motivated by the current (2011) political climate in Wisconsin it seems reasonable to devote some time and effort to comment on issues and some of the hyperbole. So we in the public should do what we can to help focus "journalists" on delineating real facts versus spin. If you accept the spin you do not understand the policy implications.
