After all, any Tea Partier would tell you that nothing in the Constitution says that i… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Journalists Covering BP Spill Now Face Felonies, $40K Fines

Posted on July 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

There will certainly be no more of this — A journalist diving into the Gulf spill. Photo via AL There’s been much discussion over how BP has been obstructing media coverage of the Gulf spill, and rightly so. Thus far, impediments to coverage have involved the Coast Guard cooperating with BP to turn reporters away, and simply barring journalists’ access from certain impacted areas. But now, reports are surfacing that journalists are no longer just facing the prospect of being turned away — a new rule imposed by the US Coast Guard means that they’re now facing felony charges and fines of tens of… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Howard Stern stepped out in New York on Thursday night for the premiere of Matt Damon ‘s new film ‘Green Zone,’ and the radio icon offered ET his uncensored thoughts about new “Idol” judge Ellen DeGeneres and the changes he says he’d make to the show if he ended up joining it next season. “I read in the paper that they want to give me $100 million to judge a karaoke contest, and that seems like pretty good pay for something as dumb as that,” Stern said of the rumors that he’s received offers to be part of next season’s “Idol.” And he didn’t sugarcoat his feelings about the prospect of working alongside DeGeneres!

Colombia to Elect World’s First Green Party President

Posted on May 27, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo via Colombia Reports Many nations have Green Parties, but many voters from those nations couldn’t even name a Green Party leader if you asked them to.

The Green candidate would be Cynthia McKinney, a congresswoman from Georgia. Point is, many Green Parties don’t tend to get a lot of love, even as the green movement continues to grow. Which is why it’s a pleasant surprise that Colombia is about to elect the world’s first p… Read the full story on TreeHugger
