I don't think I can withstand the voltage of brain power on display by these gents. I need to lie down.

Have you seen the other talk where Chomsky introduces Fisk ? It's pretty damn good.

Yes, that blew my hair so far back that I've had to buy a wig. I will sue these men for making my wife desert me.

@MenOfLetters

Haha that's brilliant. I got to meet Fisk in Dublin, got him to sign my book "The Point of No Return (the strike that broke the British in Ulster) It was great.

Wow. I would like to heist a cold beer with Fisk at the Stick of the Neocon-Whacker Bar . I've always found book signings though to be the fossilised remains of saint veneration, the superstitious urge to own some physical relic of a holy man. When I see a writer cramp his hand from signing hundreds of books attended on by a long queue of people snaking its way back as far as the eye can see I pity him. Better instead just to get a photo with him. Less taxing and more personal.
