What We Need

Is some g-d Captain Planet! I don't know about you, but I miss this show . I miss the idea of a) a blue superhero that isn't Beast and b) a show with an obvious message to teh kids. The Planet is our friend, don't mess it up. Maybe if the careless people at BP and the various Republicans that have come to its side (without shame) watched this show growing up we wouldn't still have right wing Attorney Generals wasting time and tax payer dollars on frivolous emails.

"Quite Safe"

The fact that Kristol is employment anywhere continues to baffle me. I wonder when he will be "grown up" enough to admit he has been consistently wrong his entire life . Ass. Clown. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Get Your Dunkin Friday

Man thanks be to Jeebus it is Friday. I am exhausted. It feels like this week has dragged and I have been swamped at work leaving me quite drained. So the overall consensus was that I should a) juice my pecs and b) try teh P90x. We will see. I am not sold I can't do it another way that isn't so extreme, however I want results and from the people I know who tried...they actually did get results. The only bad part will be DRINKING less. Damnit Frank loves his beer, margaritas and wine. This is going to be tough PEOPLE. Here are your highlights: The Economy shows growth , but I still don't think Washington, Dems or Repubs are getting it Whoops: Parking FAIL Jonah Goldberg makes the worst argument against financial reform , "they have learned their lesson" The Oil Spill is getting worse. White House smartly retreating their offshore drilling plans Every Supreme Court Justice nominee will be Risky Immigration Bill First Look . Here is my issue hunting human beings like...

Better than Offshore Drilling

LA Times : "After careful consideration of all the concerns expressed during the lengthy review and consultation process and thorough analyses of the many factors involved, I find that the public benefits weigh in favor of approving" the project, Salazar said Wednesday in Boston. "With this decision we are beginning a new direction in our nation's energy future, ushering in America's first offshore wind energy facility and opening a new chapter in the history of this region." The Boston Globe was the first to report the administration's decision Wednesday online. Federal approval will put Cape Wind in line to become the first U.S. offshore wind farm -- assuming it clears a flurry of lawsuits expected to follow the decision -- and set the stage for similar projects along the East Coast, the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico. These things take time, in this case nine years , but this is a better direction, then say this... I am Frank Chow and I approved this ...

Want Clean Energy? Get Rid of the Clipboards

Today as in every day in downtown Evanston I walked into the path of Clean Energy solicitors. You know those peeps with tight tees of a license plate image saying “Clean Energy” or something to the same effect. And in brought me to wonder, are they getting through to anyone? As I walked by I saw a guy nice enough to give the young collegiate the time of day while another said like an ass “I will care for the environment like I want to.” Nice guy. Regardless what I noticed is the two solicitors both had the same tag line to “You gotta a second for the environment.” It really wouldn’t even sell the most avid Clean Energy activist. It was a softball to say the least. As a former salesman I know the importance of having the right starting line. It seemed odd if you are going to put solicitors on the street for Clean Energy you wouldn’t have a definite playbook. The environment is what you are trying to save than act like it is worth saving is what I would first say. Clean Energy needs bet...
