standardNew “Clean Coal” Ad

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NuiqZq_kCY[/youtube]

I think whoever put this ad together did an excellent job.  Subtle, effective, and well thought out.  While I am personally not super anti-coal like some of my friends I do feel that the clean coal myth needs to be addressed.  My sincere hope is that as alternative ways to produce energy are perfected and implemented we will see less and less coal used.   Actually thats almost a near certanty as alternative energy is both cleaner and cheaper over the long run.

Anyhow, here is another video by the Reality Campaign.

Have a great Christmas everyone, I’ll see you again next week.

standardHow Hardcore of and Athiest are you?

Now that we have established that I am an Athiest (I’m not but lets just go with it for now) lets see how hardcore I am.  You can play along at home too.  Simply copy the list and bold or highlight (or whatever) the items you have done. Participated in the Blasphemy Challenge. Met at [...]

standardHow to talk to an Athiest

It is almost Christmas time and I’m sure that my readers will be heading off to one or more large family gatherings.  If your families are anything like mine there are bound to be people who you don’t normally associate with that you will be forced to make nice.  Well lots of Christians seem to [...]

standardWe’re Back

Sorry for the long delay and absence but Summer and I are BACK!!!  We have even brought along our new project Talk Topeka for the fun.  Now that all that election hoopla is over with we can concentrate on doing what we do best, making fun of the fundamentalists who are trying to run this [...]

standardMcCain on Roe vs. Wade

Of course feminism and women’s rights are about a lot more than just Roe vs. Wade but its still important to remember why winning this election is important to the fundies.  Its video like this that makes we wonder how any liberal progressive could ever consider switching to McCain.  (h/t Feministing) [youtube width="500" height="394"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXNSa_xCpzk[/youtube] Oh [...]

standardObama, Clinton Wrap Up Historic Campaigns

Yesterday we saw the final votes cast in one of the most amazing and historic primary campaigns in our nations history. I don’t need to go into all the many reasons why this year has been one that our grandchildren will learn about in school. Two of those reasons are painfully obvious just by looking [...]

standardBill Clinton’s Last Day In Politics?

I highly doubt that, but this is what he said today to a crowd in Milbank, SD. I’m not reading too much into it but it’s an interesting thing to hear with all the rumors and speculation about Hillary’s campaign. “I want to say also that this may be the last day I’m ever involved [...]

standardRSS Roundup 6-2-08

k, so it’s not really Monday morning anymore but if the pot of coffee you drank this morning hasn’t gotten you going maybe this will. However since I took a long weekend to finish up a project (almost) I want to do a super special RSS Roundup / Monday Morning Funnies combo edition. Thats double [...]

standardRSS Roundup 5-28-08

Wow, it feels good to be back. I took full advantage of the holiday weekend and totally unplugged from news. I really needed it and I have a clearer head now. It’s something I totally recommend everyone doing. Of course I missed some stuff but nothing that I can’t live without knowing. It is good [...]

standardI do not think it means what you think it means

One of the words that the Bush Administration likes to throw around when talking about their failing policies is the word PROGRESS. No matter the topic; whether it’s the Iraq War, the economy, jobs, gas prices, you name it and were making “progress” on it. Like any sane and intelligent American I have long wondered [...]
