POPSWhy Is Billionaire Fueling His 747 With Coconut Oil? Environmentally speaking, wouldn’t we be better off just continuing to use petroleum-based aviation fuel instead of claiming vast swaths of land to grow coconuts to use in Mr. Branson’s new toy?

POPSMerle Haggard has left the Republican Party - Sorry n2
More: The thing that gets under my skin most about George W. is his intention to install fear in people," he said, after walking me down a hallway lined with gold and platinum records "This is America. We're proud. We're not afraid of a bunch of terrorists. W is all about terror alerts and scaring us at airports. We're changing the Constitution out of fear. We spend all our time looking up each other's dresses. Haggard sensed reluctance among the Hillarians to embrace his endorsement—in part, I imagine, because he's not shy about saying that one of the biggest things Hillary has going for her is Bill, who ranks up with Reagan in the Haggard pantheon and not only because the former President used to have a pickup truck with Astroturf in the back. "He cared about this country, about our problems," Haggard said, with a twinkle. "And I figure that whatever she doesn't know, he does." When Al Gore wins the Nobel and Merle Haggard leaves the party, it's a bad day for Republicans.

POPSBurning Man is no longer relevant I have a few friends (and a sister in law) who are "burners." I'm not and have always thought that the burners are a bit holier than thou which leaves a bad taste in my mouth for the whole event. The lack of environmental awareness amongst Burners only made what seemed me to be an overly commercial alterna-event even more mainstream. Anyone willing to push Burning Man back from the mainstream is a-ok by me.
