Here’s everything you need to know about the Post, other than it’s a Murdoch tabloid. It is the paper that gave us the immortal front-page headline: Headless Body Found in Topless Bar. (And one of the biggest lies in NYC is I never read the Post.)

Good to see you!

MusEditions’s last blog post..Intentional Poverty

Your green point is timely. I was just reading this morning at Cook’s Illustrated a green-themed piece of do we really need something to protect the kitchen counters or will a towel do the job. And believe it or not, they said to go out and buy some expensive trivet or something. My favorite “trivets” are those round, cork things that go beneath potted plants. Even the large ones are under a buck at Kmart and they last forever. My bamboo cutting board (thanks to Ming Tsai making me aware) is another good trivet. And sustainable.

Buried on the Post website today — in Other Local News — Murdoch’s statement says, in part . . .

Sounds like a very lame apology to me.

Like a child apologizing to his parents because the punishment is being dolled out. Half-hearted at best.

As a dear friend used to say to me, “a tiger never changes stripes,” or some such thing.

Re: your comment,

I don’t know what it’s going to take to wean millions off their junk food.

I was just thinking about this on the way home from Whole Foods last night. The amount of resources wasted on packaging alone is mind boggling (as I had one too many packages in my paper bags, and felt the twangs of guilt over our dwindling planetary resources), let alone most of the stuff packaged in that extraordinary waste of resources is worse than garbage for the body.

We have an entire culture built on decimating both our natural resources and our bodies.

Every time I see a Clorox ad I cringe, given the availability of “green products,” but Proctor and Gamble, Johnson and Johnson, these companies, as well as Kellogg’s and whatever other big name food companies still exist, mean jobs for many, and a way of life for most.

Who will rise and say that Betty Crocker is a toxic vixen on our bodies and the environment, with all those trees felled for her boxes, non-biodegradable red ink melting into the landfills, and inordinate amounts of fats and sugars and chemicals hammering away at our health and well being.

To say it out loud is to be nuts and a zealot.

More important, it threatens American jobs, ones that have yet to be outsourced.

Delonas would have been fine in terms of public opinion if he’d left politics out of it. Public opinion is not running in the chimp’s favor. That said, Delonas has never been know for sensititivity and I’ve never understood why his cartoons run on the main gossip page. That’s the Post for you!
