  • A 2010 Summer Movie Review: Realism Be Damned! All Film Hope Resides in the Fall
    There is something to be said for realism. I had such an interesting discussion with some of my fellow film-going friends that revolved around the last believable action movie we had seen. Unfortunately, we either all drew a blank, or we named a movie that was at least a year old. This discussion took place after […]
  • Legislative Letdown: Days 17-19 of Rubbish
    On these Days 17-19 of Rubbish, I share the second part of a three-part article discussing the organizations and politicians who are helping and hindering the progress associated with plastic in our environment.  In the first part, I began to discuss the plastic plague and my interview with Emily Glanville from Save Our Shores. The American […]
  • The Floods in Pakistan: A Glimpse into Our Common Future?
    As with so many crises involving the weather, there is no way to clearly identify the recent flooding in Pakistan as something resulting directly from global climate change.  Nor is there any way to prove that it is not.  To the extent that the major news media lean toward the well-worn position that the news […]

The image above, by nature photographer Terry McCormac, and pulled from the Save Our [... […]

  • Suffragists on the Western Frontier
    But did you know that women in many of the Western states were voting long before the passage of the 19th Amendment? Films like Iron Jawed Angels have popularized the images of women picketing the White House and holding large suffrage parades, but we often forget about the contributions of women on the Western frontier. […]
  • Hugh Hefner Superstar | A Review of Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel
    Celebrities, here’s a tip worthy of the Playboy Advisor: If you consent to a documentary biography, make sure you hire a pal to direct. After making Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel, the only remaining to-do items for director Brigitte Berman is to nominate her subject for the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom […]
  • Reflections on a Summer of Weddings
    Despite knowing such good times would result, deciding to attend a wedding is always a conflicted process for me. There are two reasons for this: 1. I do not believe in marriage; 2. I find offensive many of the traditions of the American wedding. It’s not that I don’t believe in celebrating love, or that I don’t want to participate in this celebration. Rathe […]
