Oh, I definitely wasn't trying to take you too seriously, for I had no 
idea whether or not you really thought his or your politics were wacky 
or not. I'll tell you one thing though, in this very ideolotically 
narrow country, there are a great many reactionaries who consider the 
greatest intellectual of our time, wacky. So, I wanted to state for 
sure, that I for one, did not buy into such crappy perceptions.

Because they are Cambridge cafes near Noam's office, as opposed to 
Bostonian super snob ones, that doesn't mean they aren't snobby. :P~

haha, I hope and think you were joking here. Er, because, it ain't Noam's 
style to care about shit that doesn't matter (i.e. name tag incidents at 
right wing political events).

p.s. EMILY! Have you left Brown yet? If so, I'm pissed I didn't find the 
time to come up to visit, certainly I will try and get a weekend in up 
there next semester. I'm thinking of transferring to Columbia, believe 
it or not (as opposed to my other two considerations: Sarah Lawrence and 
Eugene Lang). The fact that it's Ivy makes me feel guilty as all hell for 
even seriously considering it though, for obvious reasons to you because 
I'm pretty sure that ya know me real well by now and all that. Call me if 
ya can when and if ya read this. :P~
