- How can we reinvent the car industry and also bust up Al Qaeda and stop the world from being destroyed by global warming, all at the same time? Transcript.
- Quote: "A people's memory sets the measure of its political freedom" - Wilson Carey McWilliams.
- Article: GM exec stands by calling global warming a 'crock', Feb 22, 2008.
- Talk of bailing out the auto industry, blaming the UAW, which is nonsense, or blaming the management, which makes more sense. One even called global warming a crock of <expletive deleted>. The cleavage between Republican management and Democratic workers. Even some Democratic Michigan representatives have sided with management rather than looking out for workers. We are looking at a confluence of events that could be disastrous.
- Article: Crash in oil exploration puts world 'on bad path'.
"A lack of investment in new sources of oil risks a supply crunch worse than the problems that pushed prices to $147 a barrel this summer, the developed world's energy watchdog said yesterday. The International Energy Agency warned that cuts and delays in investment that were prompted by the fall in oil prices and the credit crunch had put the world "on a bad path"."

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
