From Libretto to Liquor 2

  1. Truth or falsetto

    An Inconvenient Truth gives its encore performance -- at the Milan opera house. Climate change ain't over 'til the fat Albert sings.

  2. Lookin' fin

    Feel like a fish out of water? Slip into an itsy bitsy teeny weeny salmon skin bikini. Made from discarded scales and trimmed in Lycra, they may cost a lox, but your chums will surely filet envious.

  3. Pop on pop

    Think those salmon 'skinis are a bit fishy? Suit up with a pant/jacket combo made from recycled pop bottles. Pair it with a clip-on recycle tie and you've got the perfect Father's Day ensemb.

  4. Will they burn Al Gore in effigy?

    Wacko website Grassfire.org has deemed June 12 Carbon Belch Day, a symbolic "release from the absurdity of green extremism." And they mean business: Some climate skeptics plan to not recycle newspapers for one day. Yeah. Don't mess.

  5. Show them that you carrot

    Hoping to urge local businesses to move toward sustainability, a SanFran man asked: If you lead a hipster mob to a liquor store, can you make biz think? Apparently, yes. And they might even let you film a horrible hip-hop video.

    gore-yCan we please stop with all the silly inconvient truth things?  The movie was good and the book was good, that's more than enough ffs!  This is about when instead of being a serious thing to get people aware of things and change, it because a cultural joke, like vanilla ice or the IQ of our current president.

    Opera...surely the decadent end of a false ideology.
