Fears over climate as Arctic ice melts at record level :
The ice is 20% less than it should be..oh well, let's keep buying those SUVs, and building houses like we live in Versailles and not the desert so that we can use up all the energy humanly possible..and let's not forget to write a sweet note to our grand kids just to let them know why we don't give a damn about the planet they're going to inherit from us..
Yes it's the weekend and I am cranky about the news.

Here is a little Crash Course form the Village Voice...this is news people, read it. And then if you want more go here and here and here..and then you could go here and here and here..Hey, I told you it was news.

Hi

Apparently a couple of days ago Bush actually said that we should start conserving. Bush! We've had some oil shortages in TX since the hurricanes, but still. . . I was suprised that Bush would notice.

It's a good thing someone finally had the guts to indict DeLay. So maybe there is some justice in the world :)

I'm glad about the school lunch thing. At one point (about 10 years ago) public schools here made deals with Taco Bell and Pizza Hut to have them in the schools. What an ingenious idea that was!

Hi Sarah,
I remember our lunch counters had pizza so oily that it soaked through layers of paper plates..and it was more addictive than drugs..damn them :)
