Robert Newman's History of Oil
Quinge.com - Thursday, 20 September 2007

It's long (very long by the standards of current online attention spans), but if you can spare three quarters of an hour you might find the time well spent. This comedian (of whom I've not heard before) synthsises much of what has been talked about regarding oil, U.S. policy in the Middle East, and the impending energy/resource crisis into a funny monologue that will send shivers down your spine.

Brilliant stuff.
