Noam Chomsky Wants You to Wake Up From the American Dream
10 principles of oligarchy.

If you've just seen Michael Moore's movie and are wondering how in the world the United States got diverted into the slow lane to hell, go watch Noam Chomsky's movie. If you've just seen Noam Chomsky's movie and are wondering whether the human species is really worth saving, go see Michael Moore's movie. If you haven't seen either of these movies, please tell me that you haven't been watching presidential debates. As either of these movies would be glad to point out to you, that's NOT HOW YOU CHANGE ANYTHING.

Since we are in the primary season and President's Day was on Monday, I thought I would post ten fun facts about our Presidents.
