Why I liked Flock Firefox better than Flock Chrome

Ian Wilder: I should have known by the new Flock Chrome slogan that advertised it was it built for Twitter and Facebook users.  At first glance,  I didn’t think much of it since I am a regular twitter and fb user.  My wordpress posts are automatically broadcast to fb and tweeted.

Ah, there’s the rub.

Why No Solar Panels for the White House? (via Perambulations & Ruminations)

Posted on September 11, 2010 by iwilder

I don’t get it. Bill McKibben and a caravan of supporters drove down to Washington the other day to meet with Pres. Obama to encourage him to re-install solar panels onto the roof of the White House. He wanted no part of it. What’s to think about? McKibben et al. never got a chance to see the president, meeting instead with a handful of administration cubicle drones who knew nothing and cared even less. Their reasoning was vague at best. McKIbben … Read More

Green Party Seeks Peace on September 11th

Green Party of England and Wales

Image via Wikipedia

Today we remember the losses of September 11, 2001, and re-commit ourselves to building a nation of peace, justice, human rights, and stability through our continued growth as an alternative to two administrations of war.


The Green Party Seeks Peace on September 11, 2010
On the ninth anniversary of September 11th, 2001, the Green Party of the United States and our state Green Parties reflect on the suffering caused on that day and continue to work to prevent further tragedies resulting from these events.

We note the importance of remembering those who died nine years ago and those survivors who work today for justice, peace, and the stability of a sustainable, democratic society.

We urge the Obama administration to fulfill the promises made to reverse the Bush administration policy of waging war in Iraq and Afghanistan in response to 9/11.  We challenge President Obama to abandon his plans to maintain 50,000 “advisors” and private contractors in Iraq and to initiate a new “surge” of force in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Guv cand Whitney (G-IL) Expected Increased Bond Debt

Posted on September 11, 2010 by iwilder
Rich Whitney

Rich Whitney

Illinois Green Party governor candidate Rich Whitney reacted with very little surprise to The Civic Federation’s latest financial analysis of the state of Illinois.  The study concluded that due to its declining bond rating, Illinois will have to pay as much as $551 million extra to pay off the bonds it issued between September 2009 and July 2010. The text of the Civic Federations findings can be found at http://civicfed.org/.

Whitney explained

This result was entirely predictable. Year after year, under both Democratic and Republican governors, our state government has refused to fix our broken and regressive tax system. Instead, they have resorted to gimmicks like fund sweeps, ignoring bills, letting public service providers go out of business, and of course borrowing on the theory that we can just keep putting off doomsday and let some future General Assembly deal with it. Well, doomsday is here and yet they are continuing to do the same thing.

t r u t h o u t: “Palestinian Gandhi” Convicted for Protesting; US Silent

t r u t h o u t | Robert Naiman | “Palestinian Gandhi” Convicted for Protesting; US Silent.

Last week, an Israeli military court convicted Abdullah Abu Rahma, whom progressive Zionists have called a “Palestinian Gandhi,” of “incitement” and “organizing and participating in illegal demonstrations” for organizing protests against the confiscation of Palestinian land by the “Apartheid Wall” in the village of Bilin in the West Bank, following an eight month trial, during which he was kept in prison.

Going Solar is the Best Way to Save for College (via from the moon and beyond)

Posted on September 10, 2010 by iwilder

go-green "It Sounds Crazy, But It’s True Here at One Block Off the Grid, we’re constantly striving to demonstrate not only how much money solar can save, but also make for households, so we decided to conduct a little experiment: let’s say you, the homeowner, had $20,000 to invest today. What would happen if you decided to put panels on your roof instead of putting it in the bank? Now bear in mind that, rates of return are different in different areas, so … Read More

Just southwest of downtown Los Angeles, there’s a somewhat seamy but much loved area called Venice Beach, reminiscent of Coney Island, NY. With the Pacific on one side, and a beautiful boardwalk winding past street vendors, skateboarders, tattoo shops, and medicinal ganja dispensaries, this colorful locale was a great backdrop to the Venice Ecofest. Many exhibitors displayed green products and services, including several eco-fashion vendors, as m … Read More

Islam Seeking Greener Pastures (via Autonomie Project’s Blog)

Posted on September 10, 2010 by iwilder

Islam Seeking Greener Pastures Everywhere I look lately, I feel as though I can not escape negative press and stories about the second largest religion in the world. This sort of rhetoric is distressing and a little scary, especially in such a tolerant nation. What I don't see in the presses is the positive impact Islam has on individuals and communities. Often the mainstream media picks up the sensational story and shies away from the positive, "boring" stories. However, asid … Read More

After getting roundly whacked by basically the entire internet, the US Chamber has officially apologized for its blog post yesterday that suggested women seeking equal pay have a “fetish for money” and suggested women should “choose the right partner at home.” But don’t let it fool you: the US Chamber has for decades advocated in private the very sentiments posted to its public blog yesterday. We just got a look behind the curtain.

Green and Libertarian Parties File Lawsuit for Equitable Ballot Access in North Carolina

Posted on September 10, 2010 by iwilder

On September 9, 2010 , the North Carolina Supreme Court heard oral arguments from the North Carolina Green Party and the Libertarian Party of North Carolina.

The action was filed by the Libertarian Party in 2005 and joined later by the North Carolina Green Party (http://www.ncgreenparty.org). Both parties will argue that current ballot access laws deny third parties full rights guaranteed by the state constitution.
