So it’s been said that if it weren’t for the stoners Dominoes pizza wouldn’t still be in business.
Well, it would seem that those stoners should know that the business that they’re supporting via their desire to crave their munchies is a mighty right wing business.

Carbon capture and storage “is not a practical means to provide any substantive reduction in CO2 emissions, although it has been repeatedly presented as such by others.” That’s what Engineering researchers from Texas have concluded.
In an article just published in the Journal of Petroleum Science And Engineering, researchers Michael Economides and Christine Ehlig-Economides find that [...]

Frighteningly enough, these days it’s reasonably probably that they might.
Thanks to insurance industry reform that happened in the 1980’s, your boss can take out a (tax free) life insurance policy on you and keep 100% of the benefits from that policy without sharing any of it with your surviving family members. And many companies [...]

Apparently Christian Bale was having a hard day at work recently, on the set of Terminator 4, and he ended up erupting in a spate of anger. The whole thing ended up getting recorded and folks have subsequently used it as the basis of music. There’s one such song that’s a mashup/remix of it (a [...]

I just learned that the man who coined the term Zippy (meaning Zen-inspired Professional Pagan), Fraser Clark, passed away recently. I only heard of it today, but it seems that this news may be more than a week old. Apparently he succumbed to liver cancer. But as one would expect, he was surrounded by friends [...]

Well, in a figurative way at least. I was heading to an interview at CBS Radio when I passed an action that the people at Direct Action To Stop The War had set up where they had a dunk tank sort of setup with a George Bush figure that you could throw shoes at. How [...]
