Both parties trying to be Not-Green in Australian election, Coalition looking better at it.
Stick with us overseas readers. The spectacle goes on… How times
have changed Back in 2007 both major parties wooed the Green vote. Now
Green is so on the nose that Abbott not only declared that he was
putting them last on preference swaps*, but felt it was worth egging the
Labor party to join him. The ALP did not scoff. Abbott is marking the
Greens as worse for the nation than the Labor Party. In
What Can the UN Do About Egypt?
The Security Council convened last night in for an emergency meeting on
Egypt. Members were briefed by Deputy Secretary General Jan Eliasson, a
longtime international troubleshooter. After the meeting, the council
unanimously urged “maximum restraint.” So far, it looks like this
directive has been completely ignored. Reports today suggest that armed
violence is increasing throughout Egypt.

At the time of the meeting, the boy didn’t know that the United States

The global dance of carbon dioxide and spreading green flora
From the AIRS satellite at NASA Watch how greenness and CO2

Just because you saw it on Facebook doesn't make it true
I love almost everything about Facebook, from the
photo-sharing and the cute-animal videos to the free emoticons you can
use in your chats. But God help us if Facebook ends up being a news
source for people in a post-newspaper world. The potential power of a
medium like Facebook can’t be overstated in this viral age. Anything I

Five minutes of research could have spared us this uninformed prattle on InSite
It almost felt good to experience the righteous rage rising in
me this morning when I read that uninformed column by Licia Corbella in
the Calgary Herald trying to draw a link between the overdose death of
actor Cory Monteith and Vancouver's supervised injection site. I'd
forgotten how much I love to hate lazy, ignorant commentary, so
deliciously wide open to being torn apart by anyone with the
A hot day for democracy
The Honduran Congreso Nacional came to town yesterday, part of
a mobile-meeting plan for the legislative branch of government that
gets the politicians out of the capital once in a while to hear from
"the people." Apparently President Porfirio Lobo was here, too, but all I
know of that is I heard a helicopter coming in for a landing around 2

A Few Facts about Project Mogul
There are some facts about Project Mogul that seem to get lost in
the minutia of the debate so that the same errors are frequently
repeated. These are facts that should not be in dispute but somehow they
keep getting missed, or misused, so I thought, in an effort to annoy
everyone, I would publish these truths and see how far that went.1.

Foo Fighters and the USS New York
Well, it’s happened again. Got an email about a Foo Fighter
sighting at the end of World War II which was radar confirmed. The ship,
the USS New York apparently fired on the object without results which
meant that they neither hit it nor drove it away. This all happened in
the middle of March, 1945, sometime after the invasion of Iwo Jima and
before the invasion of Okinawa.USS New York in 1945.Acc

Apple ring season
Apples are harder to come by this year than last, though not as
badly as we had thought. Even though they could stand to stay on the
tree longer, flavor-wise, worms are taking interest early (what's their

still having hot days to run the solar dryers, too.The peeler-corer

Early August 2013
We've headed into August here much hotter than many of our

reaches 85. So there has been correspondingly little harvesting or

Towering economic separation erodes the effectiveness of public opinion activism
By Denis Rancourt
A good street demonstration is not what it use to be, in terms of its
impact. Likewise, petitions and letters to politicians just don't cut it
any more. A YouTube video can, in rare cases, get a cop investigated
and put on paid leave, but that is a about as far as it goes. Don't
think about systemic changes.
