AP has the worst coverup style non-reporting of objective facts in the world press corps. Take this example below about AMtrak needing to "rely on government handouts year after year":
Riding high? Amtrak sees ridership rise
Jim Suhr, Associated Press
... the cheery man from New South Wales was breathless about seeing a couple of things he'd not seen in his three previous Amtrak treks across this nation's rails over the past two decades - Americans seeming to outnumber tourists, and far fewer empty seats.
This is also true on the intracity bus and train systems I've taken in the past few years. So far, so good. -Ed
Greenwash is the lie a company advertises about the supposed environmental benefits of its products, when those products have almost NO environmental benefit, and they sell tons of other products which are toxic to you and our air and water.
Today's coverage includes three solution-oriented programs, with varying greenwash. This installment made possible partly by hugg.commers.
1. Amusing (bicycle power)
2. Ho-hum (Las Vegas changes some bulbs)
3. Dementedly evil: more corporate-driven greenwash (hazards of biofuels).

Halliburton/KBR Cover Up Gang Rape --Alternet. Reminds me of this indy film "Holly" I just watched, about child prostitution in SouthEast Asia. This also happens in Oakland, CA. Even the SFPD is in on it! (Officer Donald Rene Ramirez; caught by OPD! That's right mofo.) Another SFPD officer, Sgt. Donald Forte, got arrested for having sex with children one year ago. Pretty sad for the city's "finest" don't you think? What else to expect from a city of, by and for the rich!
Yes! or No?
Question 1: Does "eco porn" help or hurt the environmental movement?
Question 2: If anyone were to promote "eco porn", is there a good approach?
We are finding it hard to diss this event. Though it's tempting. Global Green does great work in the field of advancing sustainability in rebuilding all quarters of New Orleans, not just the white and rich areas, to mention one of many GG projects of goodwill.
Maybe there's a Beavis and Butthead carpet joke we can whip out.
