  Ciclovia in San Francisco on Sunday!

  Tom,

  If you aren't too hung over, I hope you can step outside the Ferry Building and witness the big carfree celebration in SF on Sunday. Should be a blast.

  Here is a promo film about it.

  Another topic being avoided by the media...

  is that there is no law to ensure oil from new domestic drilling would even end up in US gas tanks. It would go straight to the international market and be sold to the highest bidder.

  Exxon and Chevron get access to our OCS and public lands, we get nothing.

  "While the U.S. oil industry wants access to more federal lands to help reduce reliance on foreign suppliers, American-based companies are shipping record amounts of gasoline and diesel fuel to other countries."

  Bush's Head of EIA "resigns"

  "The chief of the Energy Department agency responsible for energy forecasting and analysis announced his resignation today."

  This is the same guy you call BS on the GOP drilling plan.

  Americans are guilty too

  Considering the USA exported most of our industrial production to China over the last 30 years, aren't we also culprits in the dirty air that is currently choking the heroic Olympians in Beijing?

  It's easy to point a finger. But take a look at where your computer and all the other gadgets in your house were manufactured.

  If we don't like dirty air in China, we should start making the things American consumers use every day, back here in America.

  Globalized capitalism is a much bigger villain in this story than dodgy Chinese bureaucrats.
