Just a friendly reminder to consider the three earth-friendly Rs as we end the season of mass consumerism and gluttony: Reuse; Reduce; Recycle. (Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, Americans throw away an additional one million tons of garbage each week, including all those pretty wrappings.) If you already feel like you’re under the bootstrap…
Have you missed me? I went home to Alaska — The Last Frontier — to spend some time with my peeps and get ridiculously cold in the snow. (I have soo lost my Alaska cold-weather cred.) And just to cheer you up, thought I’d share this little snapshot of an only-in-Alaska moment. This little Asian…
I don’t know about you, but I need a laugh-break from all this holiday togetherness. Enjoy: — Emmily
So the government does, in fact, still work for the people! Yesterday’s signing of the Energy Bill — with its mandate to increase auto fuel efficiency to 35 mpg by 2020 — gives me a little hope for that The People may still be in charge. At least every now and then, anyway. And maybe…

Sorry for the late notice, but if you don’t have any plans tonight I highly recommend stopping by Shenanigans inside McMullan’s Irish Pub, 4650 W. Trop (next door to The Orleans), to see local artist Karen Wheeler‘s unveiling of her latest work “The Fate of the Little Red Riding Hood.” — Emmily
Like women needed more road blocks! I’ll let Planned Parenthood explain: … 136 representatives and 28 senators have gone on record saying that birth control should be made affordable for the low-income women and students affected by the recent price hike. So far, so good, right? But the thing is — birth control isn’t very…
Wanted to pass along a message from the Nevada Conservation League urging folks to get in touch with Sens. Reid and Ensign before the vote tomorrow. This is it. The moment we have been waiting for – the energy bill is going to be voted on in the Senate TOMORROW. Earlier this week, the Senate…
