You might be called a racist toward Obama if:
1) You disagree with his NCAA final four picks
2) you prefer Stevie Wonder’s Songs from the Keys of Life over Innervisions.
3) Smoke cigars rather than cigarettes
4) Admire Thomas Sowell over Rev Wright
5) Enjoy reading Milton Friedman over Norm Chomsky
6) Believe Good Times was much funnier than the Jeffersons
7) Wonder silently why NO ONE at Columbia University in the early 80’s has any recollections of a young Barrack
All of the above.
“Enjoy reading Milton Friedman over Norm Chomsky”
That’d be Noam Chomsky. When I was a kid, I used to get him confused with Norm Crosby.
Apparently I’m not the only one.

Norm Crosby . . . Live, on Campus!

Dear Blowhards,
A couple of weeks back I got an invitation to see a performance by Norm Crosby on campus. I love doubletalk so I said yes, sure.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it wasn’t Norm Crosby but Noam Chomsky!
But it went OK. I was expecting a perfomance by a guy whose schtick has been stuck in amber since 1967 and instead I got . . . a performance by a guy whose schtick has been stuck in amber since 1967.
And hey, Noam was at least as good at doubletalk as Norm! (rimshot)
