Even with the economy falling and gas prices rising, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Honda, today, rolled out a new zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cell car off its Japanese production line.
Even though I don't own a Honda, I am a big supporter of their green initiatives and their vision for the future. If the spec sheets I've seen are to be believed, the new FCX Clarity will offer two times more energy efficiency than a gas-electric hybrid and three times that of a standard gasoline-powered car. Now, even though they are only releasing a handful (maybe a couple hundred) over the next three years, I have confidence that there will be enough buzz to increase hydrogen station infrastructure, which, in turn, will make the Clarity more user-friendly.
Just in time for me to be in the market for a new car. How fortuitous for me.
I believe there is hope for us yet.

This just in from the "Life Imitating Art" department: Fishermen Report Great White Shark Off Martha's Vineyard.
The fact that the original Jaws movie was actually filmed in Martha's Vineyard back in '74 should not be overlooked.

RIP: Personal Accountability
It appears that personal accountability in Charleston, WV has passed away. Let's have a moment of silence and think back on it with fond memories.
...
Ok, for those of you who either don't get it or were too lazy to read the article, here's the elevator version of the story:
"Oh no, not MY child."
"My pure little snowflake would never drug, overpower and anally rape an under-age girl!"
"My little princess would never willingly have sex with the boy next door!"
"My child would NEVER drink or do drugs if it were illegal or against parental rules! The fault must lie with society!"
Yes! Society!
Blame the masses, blame television and the media-whore-hopping-mongers! Blame politicians and teachers and priests and anyone else you can think of! Essentially, blame everyone who is not you, because god forbid you admit that maybe letting strangers and T.V. babysit/raise your child for you for the last 15 years was bad idea on your part.
Ms. Angel Cincinnati (which, by the way, sounds like a bad stripper name), you are to parenting what clown shoes are to footwear.

- 15-year-old girl gets drunk AT school by engaging in a "vodka chugging contest" with other students.
- Said chugging contest occurred in a classroom where no teacher was present.
- Said 15-year-old girl gets caught (still during the school day)
- Mother of said 15-year-old girl determines that based on points 1, 2 and 3 the all fault lies entirely with the school and it's principal, not on herself--the PARENT.
