The following 15-minute video is pretty much all you need to know regarding what is happening on the front-lines of the BP Oil Disaster.  Kindra Arnes, a Venice, LA, native, delivers a mind-blowing account of her dealings with BP, and the effects the oil-giant’s spill has had on her community.  I know it’s a bit [...]

U-S-A! Represent!

I’ve caught the World Cup fever, and the only cure: more vuvuzela!  And it looks like I am not the only one.  President Clinton has World Cup fever too.
