An excerpt from his weekly "Clusterf*ck Nation" column:

"Over here, in this sorry-ass edition of America, the election will look more and more like a World Wrestling Federation staged dumb-show between two catamite hostages of a foul corporate oligarchy. Imagine that horse's ass Mitt Romney spending the next four months denouncing Obama-care, modeled on his own health care reform in Massachusetts, while Obama pretends he has a grip on an economy where the rule of law is absent due to Obama's own omissions and negligence. And if you can't stand that spectacle, just look around at America itself: a wasteland of futile motoring and discount shopping populated by depressed, overfed clowns bedizened with sinister tattoos, pretending to be Star Warriors."

I like Kunstler but he's basically the same article phrased differently lots of weeks.

Pretty much yes. I just like is occaisonal brilliant insights and satirical commentary. I don't take his "predictions" too seriously. He's one of those perpetual doomsters.

Yeah if he wasnt funny he would still be working for a lame local paper making $100 per article, freelance, no benefits.

Basically he's like a comedian who also plays music (old adam sandler from SNL) not funny enough to stand out as comedian, must include 'another gimmick' to sell seats/content.

Basically Kunsler is merely part of the content engine streaming 'whateva u wanna see' to you for a small price. Its all zeros and ones and so are his noises and 'ideas'.

Yep. It's not just the right wingers that are willing to "sell their soul" for a buck.

Kunslter get big speaking fees to tell people how shitty their town/country is.

How awsome is that? So rare!

I've read a lot of his content. (its all the same) for fun I will summarize:

1. Suburbs=the devil and its ugly too

2. fat people driving cars gonna hafta walk everywhere pretty soon! hahahaha (And they have low IQs cuz they dont ride a bike to the store like I do! which is the only sustainable activity I do and it cancels out my many and numerous global trips on a 747 to tell people I think thier town is ugly)

3. Its hopeless because everyone is an idiot but me i 'get it', join my club and be cool too.

Pocky,

That's a pretty good summary of "Kunstlerism", yes.

I would prefer to call it 'Kuntology' - its like the global warming religion only with way more insults (the snarky smarty pants backhanded ones where you are like....waitamin, did he just insult us all).
