...The One-Minute Pundit

DID YOU KNOW: Noam Chomsky's table-pounding foot-stomping diatribe was #1 on Amazon.com -- and has sold only about 2,000 copies since Hugo's plug? We wonder how useful Amazon's sales figures really are. Plenty of items are ranked that clearly have no sales (like discontinued merchandise) but get spurious "rankings" anyway. But then we've noticed something screwy when we've put items in our Amazon cart -- prices go up and down and up and down for no reason. We've purchased often from Amazon and appreciate their speedy service, but we might wonder if its computers have too much time on their boards.
