>Lying is the new Normal  - James Howard Kunstler - 
I don't understand James' reflexive insults to people who don't live in NYC. Who is more likely to already be making things by hand? The midwesterners he makes snide comments about or the wine and croissants crowd in the Village? The average Tea Party guy, whom he has never actually hung out with for a day (that's an open invitation by the way) is far more likely to share his feelings and ideas and aspirations for the future.
I read James because he is one of the most talented and truly witty writers out there. He makes me laugh even though I am often the target of his humor. I am one of "them", but James doesn't realize he is more one of "us" than the elite big city snobs he is forced to cavort with.

What I'd like to know is how come he was "buried at sea," when the operation took place at least a thousand miles from the sea. Did the US Navy Seals transfer his remains from a helicopter to a boat? Or to an airplane? And did they just drop him over the night-darkened Indian Ocean like a sack of lentils? By the time you read this, the whole world will be clamoring for photos of the deceased...
