study groups and money

.........several ways Evergreen has tried to make its campus sustainable, such as:

* A self-imposed student fee helps pay for 100 percent of Evergreen electricity to come from “green” sources.

* Evergreen built the state’s first public “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” gold certified building - Seminar II - with a wide range of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly design features.

THEY BUILT A NEW BUILDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So easy a caveman can do it!

Police blame a woman named Butts for stealing toilet paper from a central Iowa courthouse, and while they’re chuckling, the theft charge could put her in prison.

“She’s facing potentially three years of incarceration for three rolls of toilet paper,” Chief Lon Walker said, stifling a laugh as he talked to KCCI-TV about Suzanne Marie Butts. “See, I can’t say it with a straight face.”

The steamroller that is Dennis Kucinich’s presidential campaign rolled into Las Vegas on Saturday night for a fundraising dinner.

The exclusive $25-per-plate dinner for the long shot Democratic aspirant, at Tipps Thai Cuisine on Spring Mountain Road, had the potential, what with the silent auction and all, to raise thousands of dollars for the elfin peace candidate. Thousands. Probably not five figures, but definitely thousands.

The math:

About 70 true-blue Kucinichites showed. For various reasons, two or three more people ate, and those guys count on the expenses side of the event, even though at least two of them weren’t paying (newspaper photographers always do this).

Seventy people times $25 apiece income totals $1,750.

Now deduct the cost, which was $12 a dinner.

That’s 72 people times $12, or $864. Total funds raised?

$886.

But there was more. At 8 p.m., exactly $300 had been bid in the silent auction, which included massage gift certificates, gem necklaces and a consultation in “Business Voodoo,” the flier for which advises, “as we transition from the age of Pisces to the age of Aquarius, people will transition individually to live in the reality of the future to bring it to life today,” and that Kucinich will be president in the dawning age of Aquarius.

The auction ended with a flurry of bids, driving the total up to, say, $500. Add to that the total from little donation envelopes. If they gave as much as they did for the auction, that would be another $500.

So total income: $1,886.

Deduct $400 for Kucinich’s coach ticket from D.C. and we’re left with $1,486.

Agent Bedhead for the pics

While commenting at The Olympian the other day the auto-complete posted my comment as from SondraK, Queen of Fucking EVERYTHING by mistake. I quickly shot off an apology (I sincerely didn’t mean to do it) and was forgiven.

Apparently Larry the Retard from The Olympian posted something pretty naughty and was not.

Larry’s BANNED! You’re BANNED, you ASS.

I almost feel sorry for the smarmy little prick.

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..............

Sharpton Race Pimp to meet with Baca over Hilton’s early release:

The Rev. Al Sharpton A Race Pimp is set to meet Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca this afternoon to talk about the early release of Paris Hilton from jail.

Sharpton The Race Pimp has accused the sheriff of giving Hilton preferential treatment.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Monday he was responsible for the break-up of his marriage but declined to answer when asked if he was romantically involved with a woman other than his wife.

A sullen Villaraigosa told reporters “that is a private matter” at a packed news conference at L.A. City Hall.

In other words, Ah Yes.

You and that other serial cheater can just wave buh-bye to those gubernatorial aspirations.

Then again, when it comes to politics ‘n power, liberal women smooge their panties over wife cheaters....so who knows.

Congress says it is going to join the war against global warming by cleaning up its own backyard, now cluttered with a coal-burning power plant, a fleet of fuel-inefficient vehicles and old-fashioned lights.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) has set a goal of making House operations carbon neutral during this session of Congress, meaning the House would remove as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it adds by the end of next year.

“The House must lead by example and it is time for Congress to act on its own carbon footprint,” Pelosi said in announcing the initiative that would also shift the House to 100 percent renewable electric power.

blahblahblahblahblah

He said these steps, and others including buying energy-efficient computers and furnishings containing recycled products and installing an Ethanol-85 tank for congressional vehicles, would still leave them about 34,000 tons short of meeting the carbon neutrality goal. This could be dealt with either by buying offset credits in the domestic market or contributing a per ton payment to a “green revolving fund” where revenues received from various sources are used for energy and water conservation initiatives.

The creaking and splashing sounds of Europe’s largest glacier slipping into an ocean grave are just a phone call away now that an artist has installed a microphone in its surrounding waters.

Glaswegian artist Katie Paterson was moved to set up the line after hallucinating about Iceland’s giant Vatnajokull glacier during a bout of fever.

The link encourages people to connect emotionally with the glacier, she told Reuters from her tent on the Icelandic shoreline.

“It is really poetic: a river of ice slowly disintegrating, quite discreetly, quite invisibly. Sheets of ice are constantly slipping off, huge bits cracking, moving very slowly.

“It is sad to see a vanishing world.”

Paterson, a final year student at Slade School of Art in London, decided to use the phone line after fever-induced hallucinations during a previous trip to Iceland.

The 25-year-old imagined that the liters of water she drank during recovery were making her feel part of the nearby glacier which supplied the water.
