I was joking by the way. My humor tends to be so dry people don't realize it's humor.
I heard some of this "Chomsky/Zinn" LOTR discussion dramatized on the radio last weekend and I thought it was some of the funniest stuff I'd ever heard. From the very beginning, the thought that these 2 guys are so deeply knowledgeable about every detail of Middle Earth...
The people who did this also did a right-wing commentary by Anne Coulter and somebody else on the movie Aliens, where they get into a discussion of the ethics of abortion if someone is impregnated by an alien lifeform. I don't know if this is on the web or not.

Good one, then.
When this came out 3 years ago, there were hundreds of people on various forums who took it seriously. Quite a flurry of righteous outrage.
You were so late to the party I wasn't sure if you "got it" or not. Apologies - I shoulda known better. The political climate being what it is these days (I do some work in that sector), I'm not always able to guage the correct temperature. I've had weeks and weeks of people being shrill - in my face.
A young neocon told me last week that as a political "moderate", I was "beneath contempt". Sure is a strange world.
Sorry for being sensitive.
The guys did a good job on that one.
