***Disclaimer - I ONLY agree with him on this one issue and I still think he slithers when he moves. With that being said, read on..

I can't believe it, but I actually agree with Rick Santorum..."key provisions in the NIH Reform Bill missing... that are critical....Center of Excellence for Environmental Causes..." Joe Barton is holding the Combating Autism Act of 2006 hostage in Congress because he wants to pass the NIH Reform Bill in the Senate without language pertaining to investigating environmental causes.

Below you can view the ad that is said to have sparked the environmental movement that began in earnest on the first Earth Day in 1971. My thoughts on that, and what and who I believe can and will rekindle it.

A crime of immense proportions that will now see more blowback. That is, unless people of conscience stand up to this terrorism on all sides, and soon.

July 25, 2006

Christopher Stokes, MSF Director of Operations:

Relief materials needed in south Lebanon, but supplying is almost impossible

Listen to full report [mp3 - Running time 3:06]

Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Director of Operations, Christopher Stokes, describes over the phone from Beirut what he has seen traveling to the south of Lebanon and back.

I'm sure that most of you have heard about Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed, the conservative children's book (and then a parody of a children's book, and then a proper children's book again). What you may not realize is that the book was actually the first in a series, the second of which came out not long ago. That's right, more of these are planned. But take heart, gentle progressives. For wherever there's idiocy, there are people to mock it. Below is the first in my own series of children's books; "Holy Sh*t! There are Conservatives In My Neighborhood!" Each time a new book comes out, I'll make an addition to my series. Look forward to "There are Wingnuts In My Trousers!" this fall.
