Our Man stopped believing in conspiracies about the time he first got laid, but he still has a thing for Marxist critiques of the status quo, it's just that the solutions the hard lefties propose sound worse than the problems they are trying to fix. Anyway, here's Brother Noam talking sense about the power of advertising and the decline of the popular press. Yeah, sure he generalises big time and Our Man doesn't believe the capitalists sit around figuring out their latest scam to screw the little guy, it just kinda works out that way. BTW, you right-on younger folk might be tempted to hail the internet as the great leveller, but let Our Man gently implant in your mind - Google is not your friend. Sure, The Big G lets you see Our Man for free, but who pays the piper ultimately? Mr Advertising Buck. Oooh, but my video could go viral and change the world!!!? Yeah, you could be the lucky one-in-a-million tadpole who becomes the frog (Susan Boyle, anyone?), or like Our Man, you could just be another insignificant piece of pond scum. Errr, here's the vid, enjoy!
Can't remember where Our Man lifted this from, sorry fellow oppressed proletarian, wherever you are.

If I am not mistaken, the scum rises to the top.
Where would we be without Grandpa Noam. He should be required reading. Maybe he's not always right, but he'll always make you think a lot harder.
