  holy crap indeed.

  I played catch up w/ that speech too (lost in the whirlwind of Denver)-- came home to hear friends raving about it, asking how it went over in Denver.  How was it this barely caused a stir out there?

  "our sorry asses"

  Couldn't agree more about the "save the planet" rhetoric.  It's a point I've been pushing hard in the NYC sustainability scene (we're selfish--make it about us!), and which I took a ton of flack for after this HuffPo rant about Earth Day saying essentially the same thing.

  Haven't been this pleased by an ad in ages, if ever:
