Holy freaking wow. I am keeping this guy up so I can show the video to my wife. I think she'll understand alot more of why I think what I think just by watching this. Heck, I almost think this is better than The end of suburbia.

It kept breaking up on me, but I got the gist of it: smug self-recriminations. Heaven forbid a nation should follow it's own self-interest. Too bad the rest of the world is watching as the west implodes in self-doubt.

Mods: it might be worth moving this topic to somewhere a bit more visible. It is about PO after all.

Isn't this a Peak Oil board?

Very glad we got it visable, because I think this will be a useful explanitory tool. Plus it provides alot of background from a non US perspective. That part was useful in and of itself.

ROBERT NEWMAN - FROM CALIBAN TO THE TALIBAN (500 YEARS OF HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION)

Full 90 minute stand up performance captured live at the Pavilion Theatre, Brighton in 2004.

This is the story of a 500 year global terror campaign waged with goodwill to all. It starts with a 1609 Bermuda shipwreck and takes us via the Berlin - Baghdad railway, Sandinista guerrillas and Dr Watson in northwest Kandahar to the USA's good works in Vietnam, Guatemala, El Salvador, Cambodia and Chile.

The story's happy ending is how Britain's philanthropic mission to Iraq has made the world safe for democracy and given us all that optimism about the future we all enjoy so much today.

This 90 minute live DVD was recorded at Robert's sell-out gigs at the Brighton Corn Exchange theatre, during the 2003 Paramount Comedy Festival. See Robert's critically acclaimed From Caliban to the Taliban set in its entirety. Directed by Dan Martin of Low Key Productions.
