- A quick primer on the difference between Shia and Sunni. Also, self-flagellation on Park Ave., NYC.
- “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” That’s Michael Pollan’s quick & dirty advice on what we should eat to be maximally healthy.
- President Siel was v. good for the environment and had a 70% approval rating. However, she left the economy in ruins — which I have a hard time reconciling with the approval rating, but whatev. (via Celsias)
- CBS News’ kitchy report on TED (video). You may, however, have to watch an annoying Oral-B commercial first.
I did about the same as you :( What about all the jobs created by alternative-energy technologies?
P.S. I hate my job.

Wow! I’m guessing you’re not referring the new Treehugger gig? Possible to shift from old job to writing more?

Ha! I not only left the economy in ruins, I was also universally reviled. I reduced emissions, but left Europe in the hands of fascists and gang members.
I guess that’s why I’m not in politics.

Don - you and I must be w/ the same political party! I also left the economy in ruins. Oh yeah - although the environment did well w/ me, I cared nothing for the happiness of the people! I was very unpopular. :(

I was actually doing ok with the money until the end, when I started just giving it out all over the place — I thought there was plenty of it! Who knew you were supposed to keep the $ bar so high?
