I have a crush on Naomi Klein.

[Lungs]

I just wanted to say that. I'm using my secret identity so no one on DU will know who I am.

Thankfully, these crushes only last a few days after she's been on Democracy Now!.

Does anyone here know her? I would love to take Naomi out to dinner one of these days. Is she married? Is she straight? Is she single? Does she post on DU?

2. No Logo author.

Very crushworthy. Her book, which is about the anti-globalization movement, is a must read.



PS: She also writes columns for the Nation and the London Observer.

3. Activist, writer and all around cool woman.

She's smart, attractive and political.

Maybe I'll join Lungs and start my own crush. She's very crush-worthy.

Is an anti-Globie hottie too. Save a little room for her.

How's that confusion thing going? (No sarcasm, meaning it in a nice way.) :)

6. She is worthy of a crush

Not least because she's intelligent and good looking. She is, married to a guy named Avi Lewis. He used to have a program on the CBC late at night called Counter Punch (I think), and sometimes she would be on it. He's the son of Stephen Lewis a retired politician who is currently in Africa trying to get the world to see the AIDS crisis there. Naomi's mother also wrote a book - can't remember her first name, and can't remember the name of the book. But it's about having a stroke really young and then getting better and then having another stroke.

ps Naomi was on CBC's the Newsroom last night and it and she were very funny.
