[BooIzzy.com] Driving Choices Like most Americans my main mode of transportation is my car. After spending two years getting around on my feet and by public transportation in Boston and New York, I had to give in and buy a car when I moved to Salt Lake so that I could get myself to work. It's not the worst car in terms of gas mileage, but it's not the best. In most other areas of my life, there's a lot that I can do make more environmentally--friendly choices. I carry a cloth bag. I buy mainly organic foods. I shop at local businesses. I purchase wind energy. But I feel pretty stuck with my car. If you don't live in an area with good public transportation or within walking distance of work and shopping, you're pretty much stuck needing a car. And you don't have a ton of options when it comes to making green choices with that car. You could either get on the waiting list for a hybrid or buy a alternative fuel vehicle and hope you can find a reliable fuel source. My problem with both of...

[Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth] Szentendre by Day, Budapest by Night: Wiping the crumbs from my face, we left the benches and entered a building used for dyeing cloth. The long, L-shaped building had a sizable courtyard, with a series of rooms used for various parts of the dyeing process. While the docent explained the process to us, a group of elderly men came over and joined in, each of them offering comments. They spoke Hungarian with Mátyás, and after a while they struck up a conversation with him, during which I could make out my name as well as the Hungarian word for blog: Naplo.
[The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Person...Archives Feb 2003-July 2003] April Posts April 3 An Alberta Fairy Tale ...: Alcohol is responsible for a great deal of societal distress, but I dont seem to see a lot of anti-booze legislationin fact, laws have become more lax as time has gone on. As for giving the Canadian Tax-Payers purse a good shake, lets have a look at court costs incurred in the prosecution of drunk drivers, or the hospital costs for long-time soakers who need treatment for hepatic cirrhosis or renal failure if you wanna break your heart. Also, Ive yet to see an episode of Cops where a cheesecake-crazed woman is cowering naked in the corner of a convenience store, or where some trashy guy wearing a wife-beater decided to fire a gun into a neighbours yard because he had too many smokes.
[Bill in Exile] Bill in Exile # 55 Ken Hutcherson and Andrea From Delta Airlines, Two Stars on God's Football Team: The fact that a person like Ken Hutcherson is not publicly pilloried for his behavior in this country is due only to the fact that he practices a form of Christianity (although I would hope Christ would not appreciate it being called that) and not Islam and we tolerate his reprehensible attitudes because we are "a Christian nation". I'll tell you what, I'm a Christian and I go to church and I read the bible every day and my Bible doesn't say the same things as "Reverend" Hutchersons and my church doesn't teach the same things his does and although I'm prepared to say that we have the same God I hope and pray that our God is the God of love that I keep my faith in and not the posionous God that "Reverend" Hutcherson seems to worship. I guess that lack of certitude on my part is what seperates me from people of his ilk. I don't know, I hope.
[The Holowach Blog] Bigotry for the week: ...will be having a lavish enthronement on Saturday April 2, 2005, as the San Francisco gay community will be there holding rainbow flags, representing “gay pride”, and sadly members of the Greek Orthodox Clergy will be there as well to support the new Greek Orthodox Metropolitan.The word choices here are subtle, yet telling. This writer (one Mr. Tim Seretis, www.solongroup.org, 1821 Hemlock Farms, Hawley, PA 18428 -- Phone/Fax: (570)-775-9637, E-mail: tim@solongroup.org -- be nice if you e-mail/call/write) is throwing around gay adjectives (c'mon, you noticed it too), such as "lavish," combined with the intent of "bar hopping" to mean promiscuity, rather than simple social dating.
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire: First Lady Wishes Bike Ride Was InterruptedFirst Lady Laura Bush "says her husband should have been interrupted during his biking trip last week to be told that the White House and Capitol were under an emergency evacuation," the AP reports.
Retro vs. Metro : Blog : Sep 06, 2004 - Aug 26, 2004: Sep 04, 2004 Bush tried to sneak another one past us this weekend, releasing the bad news on Medicare costs late on the Friday before Labor Weekend, just as Hurricane Frances was slamming into Florida and its population of 3 million Medicare recipients. (Since 2001, this announcement has been made in October, but we can understand why Bush would try to slip it through while no one is looking.) Just 24 hours after Bush promised to strengthen the Medicare program in his acceptance speech at the Republican convention, the news is as bad as it can be: Medicare costs will rise a record 17% next year, the largest premium hike in the 40-year history of the program. When you're on a fixed income, this increase can mean the difference between life and death.
Redguard's Blog: 07/04/2004 - 07/10/2004: Why? Because the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are cut from the same cloth. They both represent the interests of the wealthy corporations.
