Happy Birthday Noam Chomsky

I first came across Noam Chomsky's political writing when I was in college. This was in 1996 at my University's first computer lab with an internet connection. I was reading the famous article in the San Jose Mercury News about how the C.I.A was facilitating the drug trade. From there I found a link to Z-Mag and a bunch of Chomsky's articles on political dissent. I found it absolutely fascinating that he was not a full time political writer even though his political writing is prolific and he is just as prolific a linguist and that he revolutionized the field. I have yet to read his most famous Manufacturing Consent. Today is his 80th birthday hopefully he will have many more.
