Went to Machu Picchu – it is as extraordinary as I had imagined. Missed our Amazonian jungle connection – me and Lisa got a dose of some nasty parasites. Next stop – Buenos Aires.

Irish eyes smile on Chomsky
It looked for a while like MIT linguistics professor Noam Chomsky would be forced to postpone a series of lectures he was scheduled to deliver this week in Ireland. The reason? The absent-minded professor’s passport was out of date. According to the Irish Times, Chomsky was allowed to enter the country only after Ireland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Dermot Ahern intervened on his behalf. The chats by Chomsky have been heavily promoted. ”While Dr. Chomsky and the Irish government might not see eye-to-eye on a number of matters involving world affairs, it is important that his views and his voice would be heard as scheduled,” said Ahern’s spokesman.
Why not take this obscure academic-hating to the forum, and leave the comments for topics relevent to the blog post in question?
