It’s ironic that the first photo I’ve ever seen of Noam Chomsky smiling makes me so friggin’ sad.

This isn’t an “I hate Vermont” piece. It’s “I love this place enough to be honest about where it’s heading.” If you care about rural places, I think this will resonate beyond one small state.

Working on a new video about Vermont. I got to go back to my childhood comic-drawing roots and make a Simpsons rip-off, just like I used to when I was 12.

Why I Can’t Leave Vermont By Anonymous
Oh how I love Vermont
When the snow’s up to your butt
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose, it freezes shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I’ll hang around.
I could never leave Vermont
Cause I’m frozen to the ground.

The strange magic of A Charlie Brown Christmas is that it sounds like childhood remembered by an adult who knows the ending.
