Bamboo shoots against global warming.

One of the interesting things about trying to live a more “green” lifestyle is learning all about what a remarkable product bamboo can be, and how versatile it is as a sustainable material. Most bamboo is entirely organic, replenishes soil and sucks carbon dioxide right out of the air. Ha ha you’re not reading this [...]

Out of Gas II: The Revenge

Despite Ben Wyskida’s blistering indictment last night, John McCain and Hillary Clinton just will not back down from their insane “gas tax holiday”. Hillary Clinton went a step further yesterday and actually cut an attack ad blasting Barack Obama for his refusal to support what TPM’s David Kurtz is calling the “model of reactive, politically [...]

Now I know what Florida and Michigan feel like.

Of all the days of the year, today is the hardest day to be a vegan. Today is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s, or as I like to call it, “National Stirling Gets No Free Ice Cream Today Day”.
Unfortunately for me (and Florida and Michigan while we’re at it) rules are rules and [...]

Quick Hits: Demi-Super Tuesday Edition

Like Bill Murray’s Phil Connors in the 1993 film “Groundhog Day“, this morning we awoke to find ourselves still reliving the same day over and over again.

I’m back from a few days at the Green Festival in Seattle, which was a nice event and gives me a lot of ground to cover the next few days on some really neat finds. In the meantime, a few random notes for Wednesday:
(1) We just got a fax at my day job at The [...]

Friday Quick Hits

It has been a kinda slow news week. Either that, or the fact that I can now go outside without my eyeballs freezing in their sockets has distracted me from the important business of sitting in front of the interweb all day. Whatever the case is, we think there are a few things that happened [...]

Friday leftovers.

*If you live in New York, I learned that there is a hot super secret tranny party every Saturday at Fusion at 54th & 10th. I was surprised because Hell’s Kitchen is a black hole and a terrible place unless you like faux Irish taverns, but apparently this thing is huge. Also Montel Williams goes [...]

Barack Obama is Like a Less Funny Tracy Morgan

Bribing the Referee

Top DNC/Hillary fundraisers are fucking blackmailing exerting pressure on Howard Dean to swing the election for their candidate show more leadership and find a resolution to the Florida and Michigan clusterfuck clusterfuck.
However you view the revote situation, the implication of this “pressure” couldn’t be more clear: “If you want the money to keep coming [...]
