Oh, groan. Why does he bother going on a show with this idiot.

that's why I brought it to your attention, it should be, erm, interesting.

Jim Kunstler--author of World Made by Hand--to be on Glenn Beck on CNN-HN tonight, 7 & 9 EDT

Now how the heck did that come about? :)

$2 for every viewer he gets to read his book.

Glenn Beck or Kunstler?

"Oh, groan. Why does he bother going on a show with this idiot."

Are you referring to Jim or Glenn? :-)

RC

Glenn, of course. I guess I assumed that it would have been obvious.

Regarding Kunstler, some people like him, some hate him. He can be provocative, that's for sure.

"He can be provocative, that's for sure."

you can say that about glenn beck too...

"Are you referring to Jim or Glenn? :-)"

i second that.

I'm trying to stick with it. This guy is like a cheese grater on the brain. Given the little blurb he just gave, this will not go well.

Kunstler is to the deniers of petroleum depletion what Ida Tarbell was to John D. Rockerfeller and Standard Oil Company. Journalists, and writers in general, serve the very important function of informing the masses. I appreciate Kunstler and thank him for his efforts. Given the geophysical constraints to a finite petroleum resource, the ignorance of the masses of the constraints and their control of depletion, and the wide range of nonsense being served up about the increase in cost of petroleum -- how could it be otherwise?
