Study in contrasts: Christian scientist vs. eco-mad scientist
My syndicated column below contrasts the Left’s “unease” over the evangelical Christian faith of NIH director-designate Francis Collins with its radio silence on the eco-zealotry of Obama science czar John Holdren. But first, some late-breaking developments: As Zombie notes, the White House has responded to rising blogosphere unease with Holdren’s cultish ideas by pooh-poohing Holdren’s co-authorship of the nutball manifesto, Ecoscience. Team Obama told the Washington Times that Holdren “never has been an advocate for policies of forced sterilization.” Never? Whom do you believe: the White House or your own eyes?
Here's one way to fight global warming....
We need a global brothel program with administers and staff...
A Berlin brothel is fighting climate change and the recession at the same time by offering a discount to clients who arrive by bicycle. Skip related content
The Maison d'envie brothel in the German capital says it is getting three to five new patrons a day who have been tempted by the discount.
Owner Thomas Goetz said: "The recession has hit our industry hard. Obviously we hope that the discount will attract more people. It's good for business, it's good for the environment and it's good for the girls."
Customers who arrive by bike or who can prove they took public transport get a five euro (£4.31) discount from the 70 euro (£60) fee for a 45-minute session.
Mr Goetz said the environmentally-friendly offer is working, adding: "We have around three to five new customers coming in daily to take advantage of the discount."

In Other News, The Sun Set In The West Again Today
July 15, 2009 — Raphael Alexander
You almost have to feel bad for these guys. It’s kind of like watching Ralph Nader try to run for President in the U.S., only with less hope of success:
The “Alberta Greens” Green Party of Alberta has been de-registered by Elections Alberta as a political entity in the Province of Alberta. De-registration of the party is an administrative opportunity to re-organize and rebuild the party into a viable political organization. The importance and mainstream acceptance of the Green Party’s values and principles are on the rise, and the Green Party’s many supporters can now look forward to a fresh start.
I rather like the Vancouver Canucks colours they’re sporting in their little logo, although the arrow is a little bit too New Jersey Devils for me. It’s also rather odd that the word Green is blue, but hey, I’m sure it was in their budget. As Jeremy Klaszus observes, their slogan “the future is now” now seems a mite ironic.
Of the 923,362 voters in Alberta’s last election, 42,290 votes were cast for the Greens, or 4.58% of the total.
