Seems like a good time to air-out the old in-box, before these things fall off the desk completely … The Las Vegas water grab sucks. But this says it much better. The Clinton campaign is turning into Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail “black knight” scene — it’s just a flesh wound! Thanks Gleaner!…
Just in time for Earth Day, a report from the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that exposure to smog and ozone definitely lead to premature death, putting weight behind the case for lowering air pollution. In wackadoo Earth Day/Equal Pay Day nonsense (a two-fer!): Being a feminist hurts the environment because equal pay means…
Here we are again at Earth Day (officially April 22). And I can’t help thinking — What a difference Al Gore has made. That little Oscar-winning movie, An Inconvenient Truth, and a little thing called a Nobel prize add a surprising amount of clout. I seem to recall that sometime in the middle of the…

Five years in Iraq and more than 4,000 US soldiers dead. I’m so tired of this. I support the troops — so let’s bring them home. And let’s take care of those who’ve served. I mean, we only asked them to put their lives on the line. Bouncing Souls’ Letter from Iraq: NOFX’s Franco Unamerican:…
Like a lot of people, I was pretty freaked out when the news broke last week about a potential link between the prescription drug Singulair and suicides. Singulair, made by Merck, is used to treat asthma (that’s me) and allergies and is available in doses ranging from children to adults. According to news reports, while…
I just finished watching Shut Up & Sing, the documentary about the Dixie Chicks following the controversy of Natalie Maine’s comments about President Bush in 2003 on the eve of the invasion of Iraq.
