Kunstler's blog is a twice-weekly must-read for me, and you probably ought to give it a try too. IF and only if profanity doesn't particularly bother you; even the name of the blog contains one from George Carlin's list of items you can't say on the air. Topics range across rumor of impending war, suburban sprawl vs. New Urbanism, a general pox upon all things both Republican and Democratic, to – Kunstler's favorite axe to grind – peak oil. To paraphrase Bilbo Baggins, I agree with less than half of this half as much as I should like, and I like less than half of it half as well as it deserves. But it is a good read, and it gives some indications of where the submerged rocks and shoals may lie.
Oh yeah, the link: here. You Have Been Warned.
That will take you directly to his blog, though there's a lot of other worthwhile content at Kunstler's web site, so look around: a sporadic podcast, an architectural critique department ("Eyesore of the Month"), and of course some low-key hawking of his books; those sorts of things. Have a drink at hand. I suggest a soothing cup of ilex vomitoria.
