Digg thisWe’ve all been eagerly awaiting the next project from the Coen Brothers, and now here it is:
That’s an ad for something called The Reality Coalition, a not-at-all-smug name for a consortium of environmental organizations, including the Alliance for Climate Protection (founded by Al Gore), the National Wildlife Federation, the National Resources Defense Council, and the League of Conservation Voters.

Last weekend, the NYT published a feature to ask the question on the nation’s mind: 
He’s going in front of the Actors’ Equity grievance committee in New York tomorrow, so they can laugh in his face as he repeats his stupid claim that he got mercury poisoning from eating too much raw fish and stuff. 
A few days ago, Ed Doud — aka the man who spawned Nadya Suleman, who in turn spawned in record numbers to become Octomom — said 
Two fine items for the WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE FROM GLOBAL WARMING!!!™ file today. I’ll start with the one that makes me happy, followed by the one that makes me really happy.
