Chomsky on the Election

"Kerry is sometimes described as 'Bush-lite', which is not inaccurate. But despite the limited differences both domestically and internationally, there are differences. In a system of immense power, small differences can translate into large outcomes."

An endorsement that might not help a great deal, and might even hurt. I am of two minds about it myself. Chomsky is for the welfare state and against the warfare state, and I have lost any ability to tell them apart. Chomsky would want an LBJ without the Vietnam. But Vietnams are what Great Societies do...
