Freaking pinko commies...
As if people like Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky weren't surreal enough in their own right, McSweeney's has a brilliant bit of "unused audio commentary" about the Fellowship of the Ring. Big hat tip to Rob for this one.

I love that piece. Have you read part two?
"Notice that no one says, 'You have my diplomatic skills.' I think the only real diplomat of Middle Earth is Gollum. He's the only one who makes any meaningful, cross-cultural exchange with any of these people. Being a torture victim at the hand of the Orcs, and his attempted strangulation of the Hobbits."
