This is something I’ve always suspected but now researchers have proven it: a vegetarian diet is the single most effective dietary choice you can make to reduce the output of greenhouse gases that lead to global climate changes. Despite significant recent public concern and media attention to the environmental impacts of food, few studies in the United States have systematically […]

Keep in mind this woman and her husband both gave the maximum legal contribution to Senator McCain’s campaign. Here’s what she had to say about McCain’s use of her daughter in the mudslinging, dishonorable, juvenile, childish and stupid ad in his run against Senator Obama: I’ve been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity […]

Consider this: In the past few months, Senator McCain has put out a slew of political ads. The total amount of time in the last eight was 16 minutes and 35 seconds.

I moved to the Ann Arbor area about two years ago to be closer to this bastion of liberalness and coolness. Imagine my horror to find out that my representative to the U.S. House of Representatives is one of the biggest right-wing Dick Cheney wannabes in the entire Congress, Tim Walberg. To whit: He recently voted AGAINST to refund the […]

‘Zactly… I’m just sayin’…

This makes my blood boil. For the fourth time this summer Republicans stopped the Senate from taking up wide-ranging legislation that extends tax breaks for teachers, businesses and parents and provides tax credits to an array of renewable energy entrepreneurs. But for many Republicans, it’s a matter or principle and politics: many oppose what they say are new tax increases […]

This is an excerpt from a Rolling Stone article on the stands. It really makes you wonder if John McCain is actually “in it to win it” or just going through the motions.
