Spike Lee Raises a Good Point…

Last night I watched Spike Lee’s latest documentary and follow up to”When the Levees Broke”, “If God is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise”.

This truly was a touching and alarming documentary. Not only did the documentary act as a follow up to New Orleans 5 years after Katrina, but it touched on the latest disaster to hit the area, the BP oil “spill” (for lack of better and more appropriate but explicit words).  The hardships the city and state have gone through are unimaginable. However, it also brought up a great point that is not getting enough attention. If this oil is not cleaned up and cleaned up fast, what will happen when hurricane season comes? The left over oil will be whipped into the air and spread all over the region, deeper into ecological systems. Watch this documentary and I will see what else I can digg up on this possible scenario.

Keep it Green,

Jon Stewart Can Right….or is it Write?

Jon Stewart (to me) seems like an easy guy to like becasue he’s hilarious! Some right wing people may not agree with me, so if you are one of those people today’s post may no interest you.

Now not only is Jon Stewart a comic genius, but he is very well educated and knowledgable on today’s politics and current events. I guess it kinda comes with the job, but  if you haven’t seen it I urge you to look up Jon Stewart on Crossfire. Anyways, Jon Stewart has just released a new book entiled “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Presents Earth (The Book): A Visitor’s Guide to the Human Race”.

The book focuses on the end of our civilization as we know it and offers an in-depth, posthumous summary of what the human race looked like along with details on what we achieved in science, government, religion, culture and society.

There is no doubt this is an easy but enjoyable read. Any pick it up already?

Keep it Green,
