Gnome Chomsky! I wonder what he thinks about the snails in my garden!?

This wonderful bit of humour came from BoingBoing.  Noam Chomsky is one of the most critically informed 'fringe' political analysts I know.  I have read most of his works on global economics and politics (for those who have not read him, I say that he is a bit like Michael Moore with a brain!  Noam Chomsky is actually a world famous Professor of Linguistics who has made some incredible breakthroughs in communication theory.  However, he is perhaps best known for his insightful political commentary on hegemony in Western politics).

Featured in The Nation's charity auction, this Garden Noam Chomsky sculpture, of a run "probably limited to less than 100".
