Happy Earth Day!

Well, here in New York, it's a beautiful day for Earth Day; it's warm, balmy but with a nice breeze. Perfect day to poison pigeons in the park, which to me is the best way to celebrate the Earth. The faster we drive those hideous flying rodents to extinction the easier I can sleep at night.

But if you don't find poisoning pigeons particularly pleasant or pacifying, I suggest you indulge in the latest culinary craze: offal. Yes, what better way (um, besides wanton distruction of rock doves) to celebrate the Earth and all it has to offer than by eating, um, all it has to offer...

But if that doesn't pique your interest, and you don't like picking up hypos on the beach with your bare hands, you can merely passively relish in the fact that the Earth is actually getting cleaner and cleaner. Now, this doesn't mean we have to stop trying to do better, but looking at the numbers is reassuring. And we don't have to irrationally worry about our environment. It just means that, while we should always remember Mother Earth, we also need to keep in mind what everyone knows and no one wants to admit, Kyoto just sucked.
