A CONFESSION BY NOAM CHOMSKY ON THE OCCASION OF THE ASSASSINATON OF OSAMA BIN LADEN *


“I told the left: Vote for Obama.
But what was I supposed to do?                                     
He was the black man in the drama.
McCain?  Mr. Redwhiteandblue.
My friends said, ‘Noam, You must be kidding.
Obama’s just like him. Committing,
Or will be soon, atrocities
On colored peoples overseas.’
I should have known that law and order,
Which I have always highly prized,
Is usually exorcised
When we take flight across our border.
No more.  I’ll never give advice
Since voting’s done with loaded dice.”
