The Sun Magazine, etc.

I hear that Kunstler has an interview in the October issue of The Sun magazine, which I plan to check out.

And yesterday I watched Jon Meacham at the National Book Festival on C-SPAN. He described his alma mater, the University of the South, as Brideshead Revisited meets Deliverance. Sounds marvelous! Later, he was asked if Ron Paul was like Andrew Jackson, but he didn't really want to discuss him, and dismissed him as impractical.

Kunstler and LATOC

Another Kunstler column on the disintegrating economy. The first comment points out that nothing can replace cities.

I'm getting into the swing of LATOC's Doomer board.

My post at Life After the Oil Crash pointing out Tiger Warsaw as a flawed but underrated movie.
