| <nettime> BBB Pies Neoliberal Economist in Boston |
This evening at the Boston Public Library, the Biotic Baking Brigade expressed their banana-cream-flavored contempt for notorious liberal New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman ... During the book signing following Friedman's airy speech, Agent "Boston Creme" delivered a banana flavored delicacy to the right side of the neoliberal cheerleader's face. The audience, apparently filled up on Thomas Friedman's fluffy opinions, had no room for the subtle dessert humor creatively served on the face of the flaky pundit. Friedman is well-known for promoting free market globalisation and American supremacy (because America is just "good"!). His essays celebrating American magnanimity and generosity appear twice a week in the New York Times newspaper. He often forgets to mention the American support for the dictatorial regimes he criticizes, as well as the bitter poverty that has followed the implementation of his beloved "free market" economic theories. As Boston songwriter David Rovics says: "You can spend your life hoping for pie in the sky/But the Baking Brigade delivers!" ~~~~~~~~~ Story and videos at: http://boston.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=8198&group=webcast http://boston.indymedia.org/local/webcast/uploads/brightpie. http://boston.indymedia.org/local/webcast/uploads/pie_t.f.. ~~~~~~~~~ Very reliable word has it that Agent Boston Creme was caught, but Friedman declined to charge him under the Massachusetts Projectile Dessert Laws, or any other laws for that matter. @@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ "Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is [hu]man's original virtue.
