I Never Promised You an Organic Garden

Tina Fey is back as Sarah Palin, and she is as funny as ever:

I am confounded!  Twice this past week I have read articles about individuals lashing out violently at people around them because they disagree with someone’s life choices, and in these cases, life choices involving the food.

The first incident involved  Lierre Keith’s author of “The Vegetarian Myth”.  So-called militant vegans attacked her at a recent speaking engagement and threw pies filled with cayenne pepper in her face.  A video of the pieing can be seen here on YouTube.  The second incident took place right here in Indiana, when a knife wielding vegetarian destroyed and contaminated packages of meat in a grocery store.  Police had to be called because the man threatened employees at the store with the knife when they attempted to stop him.  According to the article, his reasoning for the attack was “to save little girls from food he believes would make them chubby.” (more…)

I know I haven’t posted recently, but I saw this video today, and I can’t pass up the opportunity to share this with everyone.

Method (a natural cleaning product company) has a new ad out in support of the Household Product Labeling Act.  According to Method, the Household Product Labeling Act would require all cleaning products to list all ingredients on their labels.  Instead of the typical scare tactics, Method uses a bit of humor to raise awareness for the new bill.

Whether you agree with Obama’s healthcare bill and the public option or not, the following video does a nice job of outlining what Obama’s plan is without the spin doctors from media.

I have been a complete slacker about writing blog posts the past few months, mostly due to Matt starting a new job and us moving into a new home.  So, much like my recent posts, I have a video to share.

Since it seems the only thing I have had time to post on here in the past two months is videos, here is yet another gem:

Bill Clinton came to Richmond today, and Matt and I decided to join everyone else from my office and attend his speech. I am personally not a big fan, but it was such an amazing opportunity that I couldn’t pass it up. It actually turned out to be quite interesting. Clinton came to one of the local fire stations, and they only let in 500 people. This left another 500 or so standing in the rain outside the fire station listening to his speech over the speaker system. There was quite a buzz in the air, and a lot of people were very excited to get a glimpse of our former president. A few of my friends were even able to shake his hand. (more…)
