Green Monday "Creative Recycling with the Green It! Carnival"

I was invited to join the new "Green It" carnival, and it's up and live.

The Creative Recycling edition of the Green It! Carnival has been published, which has been compiled by Lisa of Condo Blues. Reducing waste is a big part of living green, but at times it can be a bit of a challenge, if not down right impossible to come up with creative ways to recycle! Never fear! This edition of the Green It! Carnival will provide you with ideas galore and solutions to also sorts of recycling quandaries.

Sniff, looks like it’s over

Well, this is the end. The last episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender just finished tonight. Where as I am excited to have gotten to see the finale, there’s melancholy that there will be no more episodes in the future. (the link above has spoilers so don’t read if you haven’t seen the show)

For those of you who haven’t had a taste of the show, or like me can’t get enough, here’s some samples…

Isn't This Just Stupid

I see, so the cost of living, the fact that to fill my tank cost over $60 a pop, all in my head right? Thanks to Move On for this enlighting look into Bush and McCain, masters of psychology.

Joss Wheden has done it again!

One week only you too can see the only miniseries of its kind. Dr. Horrible, the super villain musical.

For only one week it’s free for your viewing, then it will go away, only to be had to the most worthy of fans (or those that pay the fee for the dvd).

This is great stuff folks, cheesy, funny, sweet, and musical! Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog

A New Strategy for a New World

"Barack will lead a new foreign policy based on restoring America's military strength and global respect, cooperating with allies, and reversing failed Bush policies"

Of all the speeches from out future president, this one touched me the most, and excited me for the possibilities in the next few years.

Thursday Thirteen #35 "Thinking Ahead"

I know I need to get some more blogging in, at least on a more regular basis. I use all sort of excuses not to, kids being crazy, heat sapping my brain, too many other things to do (cleaning, edits, working on Primal Magic), but in truth I just need to feel I have something interesting to write about that ya’ll want to read.

So here’s the deal. I’m going to throw out some suggestions, and ya’ll can tell me what you’d find most interesting. No limit in choices.

Talk about stupid laws...Hey, Wisconsin Family Council! Buy a clue!

I just got this sent to me by Fair Wisconsin.

On July 9th, CNN.com aired a story from WKOW about an obscure law facing Wisconsin gay and lesbian couples if they enter into a marriage outside the state that would not be legal in Wisconsin. In the interview, Wisconsin Family Council CEO Julaine Appling said verbatim that “that’s a defrauding of the government” and “someone needs to prosecute them.”

Later, Wisconsin Family Council issued a denial of the comments made by Appling, calling the story “distorted and misleading,” and claiming that what she actually said was that gay couples who get married in California are “taking a risk that some DA somewhere could charge them under this law, unlikely as that may be.” To see the text of the Wisconsin Family Council's denial click here.

Clearly, the only “defrauding” going on is the re-writing of history coming from the Wisconsin Family Council.

See for yourself what Appling actually said:
