  Yes, it is.

  But to answer your question, Dr. X... Honestly, I wasn't very impressed with the whole thing. Seriously, I kept my money hidden under that hedge for almost a month, and as far as I can tell, the only change was when two 20's got stolen by a mouse and shredded for nest bedding.

  Besides, dude. Trust me, these days, there's about a 90% chance that any woman you'd consider a candidate for that gift, already owns a vibrator. In fact, you might as well face it... Your old flame probably had one sitting in her beside drawer the entire time you were dating--and she may have even treated herself to an upgrade as a pick-me-up after the break-up.

  We might as well accept it... Procedures like "washing that man right out of one's hair" went out with World War II and the Jitterbug. These days, the whole recuperation process is a little less, um, wholesome.On Magic exists: It's called 'cap-and-trade' posted 9 months, 2 weeks ago 12 Responses

  How's it going, people?

  I'm afraid I don't have a firm opinion on the "cap-and-trade vs. carbon tax" debate; I just wanted to point out that the phrase "A magic self-adjusting carbon tax" is flawless iambic pentameter.

  Bob:

  Agreed!

  And meanwhile, Obama and the new (and considerably greener than last term's, it seems) Congress can be working on that "tweak to automobile efficiency" that BioD mentioned.  That's a battle we have to hope they can win, and push them every step of the way to fight harder for.On On the challenge of cellulosic ethanol posted 10 months, 2 weeks ago 3 Responses

  Okay...

  Driving up prices of what?

  BLM land?  Thanks, bud, but I've already bought my annual supply of that for this year.  When I get done razing what I've got, I'll come back and join you in protesting Tim.On Eco-activist bids up oil and gas leases at auction posted 11 months ago 6 Responses

  Burning Bushes

  Does Grist do this feature every year? If so, then Bush and Cheney probably weren't on the list basically because if they were, it would have been one of them in first place and one in second every year for the past eight. I promise you, whenever they were an option, they owned the vote.  So...  Good riddance to bad bull$%#!!

  That said, without them on the ballot, my vote goes to Inhofe. Partially because he's a pollutocrat douchebag, but mostly because unlike a surprising number of other environmental villains, he won his election, which means this year counts as part of all the damage he's going to do in the future.  Oh, well.  If we woke up Virginia this year, maybe we can wake up Oklahoma in '14.On Vote for the top eco-villain of 2008 posted 11 months ago 14 Responses
