Tobacco, not the Ring, behind Middle Earth

A screamingly funny posting in FrontPage magazine, which I had never heard of before, purporting to be a conversation between Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn (I confess--I hadn't heard of Zinn, either. Chomsky, yes.) on the global politics of Middle Earth. The orcs are oppressed and resource poor. Gandalf keeps coming to the Shire because he is hooked on tobacco, and more.

The FrontPage main page says it's "A parody exposing the absurd misanthropy of Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky's post-modernism."
