The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated...

After addressing the United Nations, President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela lamented that he never got to meet Noam Chomsky before his death. Before you send your condolence cards, make note that Mr. Chomsky is alive, living in Massachusetts, and (given the fact that his book skyrocketed up to best seller status on amazon.com after Mr. Chávez's comments) is doing quite well.
