E and I could use some co-op-ma -- we're on our way to the board interview in about an hour.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm planning on going on an Alternative Spring Break trip with the Jewish National Fund, to help rebuild and replant parks and buildings and towns and forests in the north of Israel that were destroyed during the fighting with Lebanon this summer. In order to go, I've got to raise $800 in donations. Last day for donations is January 22; the first 250 people to raise $800 are the ones who go.
If anyone would like more information, or would like to donate (even $5 or $10 would help), please go to [link] . It's a new year, new tax-deduction period!
No pressure on anyone, please. If you don't want to donate, or can't, then no problem. I just wanted to let people know, if they do want to give something.
(If I don't raise enough money to go, the money that I did raise goes to Jewish National Fund, which does all kinds of environmental and land-focused stuff in Israel. So it's a good cause, anyway.)
edit: I've been having a bunch of problems with donations that were mailed in by check, rather than online, not showing up. So if someone did send a check, please let me know so that I can make sure it got recorded.

Hi. Somebody hit the American Embassy in Athens with an RPG last night. While we are on security alert, at this point everybody's fine.

My review of George Monbiot's book "Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning" is going to be published in the dead tree periodical Z magazine. They even pay (not much) - so as soon as I receive the check I will officially be a professional.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've been emailing Katerina Bee, and she's been having a rough time lately. I don't have all the specifics, but she could use some of that patented buffista ~ma right about now. Thanks!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
