Since you brought up Iceland today....I am getting more confused about it. Info seems to becoming more fantastical. I do understand that the base of it is true. However, I have been seeing a lot of comments from Icelanders that say that the banks have been taken over by vultures and things are not as rosey as we hear. Any comments?

Thom: correction needed to your news segment. You're saying that the CBO did a report earlier this year that was muzzled by Republicans. It was actually the Congressional Research Service (CRS) that did that report.

I've got a vocabulary word for Thom: pleonexically ugly.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."

—John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

From Screwed:

"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."

—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World

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."

—Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
