The whole Ebola thing
I’ve been following the news about Ebola for about the past week or so. There’s much mis-information flying about. And (contrary to the assurances from Mayor De Blasio and friends), we are clearly not ready to face this in New York. Friday’s news photos of NYPD members dumping Ebola-exposed hazmat suits from Dr. Spencer’s apartment […]
You thought I was dead
Apologies for taking a hiatus. I have two or three posts waiting final touches. Stories about New York and transit, about Ebola scares and Climate Disruption. But those had to wait. On Sunday the 26th, I rode the Tour de Bronx. It’s a bicycle tour through New York’s least storied borough. Scenery includes the Bronx […]
The Arctic Methane Monster’s Nasty Little Helpers: Study Finds Ancient, Methane Producing, Archaea Gorge on Tundra Melt

She was an associate and colleague of the late Michael C Ruppert, and has been writing […]
The Eric Garner march in Staten Island
So back in August, I became part of the Staten Island protest march to mark the murder of Eric Garner at the hands of the NYPD and call for justice. I had posted an article about the march and the still-simmering problems in Ferguson on Planet POV, a new blogsite for progressive types about political […]
Climate change, Peak Oil and AGW Denialists
About a month ago I used my ‘politics’ segment of my radio segment on Sex and Politics to talk to Marlo Lewis, a frequent go-to expert on climate matters for Fox News. Marlo Lewis is with the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and while we mistakenly identified him as a ‘climate change denier’, that isn’t exactly true. His contention […]
