Hugo Chavez Is the New Oprah

Apparently, Hugo Chavez can sell books. Hegemony or Survival, Noam Chomsky’s latest work condemning U.S. foreign policy and claiming America has imperialist ambitions, hit #1 on Amazon today because of his rant at the UN.

I’m not a big fan of Chomsky but I must admit I haven’t read much of his work other than what I’ve perused at my local Barnes & Noble. What I did read was mostly polemic, unequivocally condemning, and outlandishly partisan.

The books I like to read are those that are driven by facts and supplemented with opinion; instead, works from Chomsky, Coulter, Limbaugh, and Franken are driven by opinion supplemented by facts.

But maybe I’ll drink the KoolAid and pick it up at the library. But probably not.
