Blog Action Day

On October 15th, 2009 I'm taking part in Blog Action Day. This event was started a couple of years ago and is now being powered by the awesome social action site Change.org. It is aimed at making one issue stand out for a day by having bloggers focus on that one issue in their writing. The hope is that if we take out one day to focus on a cause that is important to us and the world we can start conversations that will then lead to action. This years focus is Climate Change, a threat to humans and the environment alike. This is great timing because big things are happening in December when leaders across the world will congregate in Copenhagen, Denmark for international climate negotiations.

So if you have a blog and you're interested in taking part head on over to their website to register. And don't forget to spread the word...

Suprises never cease to exist

I found these two videos the other day and they really made me giggle. The first one is a small Colbert clip regarding Texas secession and the Mid America CropLife Association's urge for pesticide use in the White House garden:

And our next video shows House Minority Leader John Boehner giving some unclear answers on the Republican stance on combating climate change. Enjoy.
