Thursday Afternoon Pre-Interlude
I’m out tomorrow, travelling this weekend, so the singin’ and dancin’ and whatnot comes a day early. My personal 3-day weekend means early entertainment for you!
But, before we get to dessert, I thought I’d throw out something nutritious. Don’t worry, it’s funny too, but it’s something substantial to chew on. Here’s James Howard Kunstler smacking America around with its own architecture and city planning.
There’s not enough Prozac in the world to make people feel okay about goin’ down this block.
Enjoy the stinging sensations!

Excellent video, but rather interesting that it is sponsored by BMW.

Yeah I noticed that too. Nice of ‘em to spring for distributing a speech where it’s explicitly declared that “there will be NO hydrogen economy.” They’ve got high hopes, I suppose.

I can’t believe I missed Kunstler on TED, thanks! Such a big fan, subscribed to his podcast The Kunstlercast as well. This man has brains and skills to deliver a message, love it.
