Kalroy is back! Hmm...I guess I should say "Kalroy is here" instead, since it's funnier. Whatever. Anyway, he's back from his Ultra-Secret Mission that started in January, and he's already calling bullshit on Noam Chomsky.
I missed you, Kal. Welcome back.
Posted by Sarah at June 24, 2004 08:43 AMHe has Chomsky pretty well pegged. In fact, What I've read on Chomsky's blog isn't all that coherent. Perhaps he's an acquired taste--the more you read, the more you want to believe.

I can understand that. Love 'em both.

Posted by: Kalroy at June 25, 2004 03:41 AMCalling bullshit on Chomsky for not knowing the ins and outs of soldering? Wow, what a substantive critique. Surely Kalroy can do better.
Posted by: MasterJohnson at June 25, 2004 06:20 AMIs he calling bs on Chomsky or on the Atlas fellow?!?
Reading the comments I got kinda pissed at Atlas who said
Posted by: Donna at June 25, 2004 12:39 PMI was calling BS on Atlas for his attitude. Never been an admirer of elitism, not even the working class hero stuff.
As to Chomsky soldering, read it again. I had hoped that I had made my point clear using it as an illustration on how everyone is ignorant about a lot of things. Obviously I should have spent more effort making that clear.
Truth is the more you specialize the more topics you'll be ignorant of/on. I know this quite well having only recently learned what a flexitalic gasket is and that viton smells like cinnamon.
