Pope preaches environmental stewardship

July 15th, 2008 No Comments

This is something I can finally agree on, without issue, with Catholics: the Pope preaches to Australian Catholics about climate change (WSJ, sub. not required!). I’m fairly certain this will be the only time I agree with Catholics, or even the Pope, on an issue that’s actually important.

Farms and free food

July 11th, 2008 No Comments

This weekend, we’re planning our first trip to D&D Farms for some fresh veggies that we’ll hopefully be picking ourselves. If not, I won’t have a heart attack.

Expose on Scientology’s 8 million dollar pay-off

July 6th, 2008 No Comments

I just came across this expose from the Village Voice/New Times LA (why doesn’t New Times Broward write stuff half this good?).
It’s rather long winded but well worth the read for some insight into how Scientology loves to waste money to not pay people who sue them. Some of this stuff is new hat, [...]

Happy 4th of July!

July 4th, 2008 No Comments

Today is the celebrated day of our country’s independence from Britain so many years ago. It’s also my step-father’s 74th birthday! And unfortunately, it’s just another Friday for us so we have to work :(.
Happy 4th everyone and be safe.

Ethanol is coming to the Turnpike

July 4th, 2008 4 Comments

Well, at least at the Port St. Lucie service plaza according to TCPalm.com (don’t bother reading the comments, they’re pretty much focused on bashing Crist). While this is a welcome addition to the CITGO pumps already in place that readily provide gas for travelers approximately every 45 miles, is this “too little, too late”? [...]
