"The Majestic Plastic Bag": Documentary on the Plastic Cycle of Life (Video)

Image credit: Heal the Bay I’ve wondered before whether plastic bags are a distraction , and Bonnie has marveled at the lengths people will go to to get a designer reusable grocery bag instead. But having just watched a fascinating online documentary, I am never going to look at the humble plastic bag in the same light again. For the first time ever, a team of crack wildlife film makers have tracked the “majestic” plastic bag on its … Read the full story on TreeHugger

GOP Candidate: Bike Sharing Threatens Our Personal Freedoms

Photo via UberGizmo I’ve always been amazed how much opposition simple ideas like promoting bicycling in urban areas receives. After all, what on earth could be wrong with a program that allows residents to rent bikes at multiple locations around a city as a means to conveniently get around — and get some exercise in the process? Evidently, more than you and I could possibly imagine. The GOP candidate for governor in Colorado has recently attacked the mayor of Denver for instating a successful bike-sharing program, saying that it’s part of a nefarious plot t… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Belgian Undertakers Want to Dissolve & Flush Dead Into Sewers

Photo: Corbis A group of undertakers in Belgium are proposing a more ecological (but perhaps creepier) alternative to cremation: they hope to dissolve corpses in a caustic solution and flush the resulting liquid and ashes down the drain, which will be recycled at water treatment plants. They contend that the process – known as chemical hydrolysis or resomation – would use less energy than a crematorium and emit no carbon emissions. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

John Mayer to Play in Cleveland … and South Beach

For all his douchebag tendencies, John Mayer deserves credit for the creative way he just announced his upcoming tour dates, spoofing LeBron James in the process. Proving LeBron isn’t the only narcissistic star who can self-importantly declare where he’ll be playing, John posted a video announcing he is taking his talents to Ohio. Here’s one performer who will never betray you, Cleveland! So as not to disappoint fans in other cities, of course, he will also be heating up South Beach. And New York. And New Jersey. And Seattle. Gotta share the love! The singer-songwriter notes that while his high school career may not have equaled that of LeBron James , he did once score rather impressively in a movie theater … John Mayer Announcement

Brzezinski: Invite Iran To Conference On Afghanistan’s Future

Great idea.  While we’re at it, let’s invite al Qaeda to a conference on Israel’s future . . . On Morning Joe today, Zbigniew Brzezinski recommended that the US organize an “international conference” on Afghanistan’s future—and invite Iran to participate. The former Carter National Security Advisor didn’t say what positive contribution he might expect from a country working in defiance of international sanctions to develop nuclear weapons and that has stated its desire to wipe Israel off the map.  ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI:  I think we have to have some sort of an international conference drawing in the neighbors of Afghanistan into the process regarding the future of Afghanistan.  That means, among others, the Iranians. So, there are a number of things we need to do, difficult as they are, to achieve the objectives the president has set for himself. Zbig’s daughter Mika could be heard uttering a [quizzical?] “hmm” in response.  Will any of the MSM pick up on Brzezinski’s suggestion?  Might Pres. Obama take a cue from Carter’s man?

Pink Flashes Her Muscular Behind

I don’t think I’ve had any pictures of Pink on the site in quite a while, mostly because her manliness kind of frightens me, but when I found these pictures of her wearing various slutty outfits during a concert the other day I couldn’t resist putting them up for you. It doesn’t hurt that she’s flashing her butt for us in the process. Well done. I’m pretty sure that she could beat the crap out of me, but that’s only because my wrists are weak from blogging…. And I’d probably like it. more pictures of Pink here
