P.S. I blogged a short piece about Sainath on my Local Man blog.
 

Thanks for rap review, but a few corrections

Thank you for the review, Kandice ["Stars of the North," Feb. 23] -- but a few corrections: "The Streets" is actually the second mix-tape. "The Outskirts" was the first -- and the members of Trak Citi are Matt D. DJ Reeg, Zay, Envy, Jazio Blaq, Will Fowla, Smatrtz aka Kam, and Mari -- we also just added Cris Clay to the mix.

The rest of the artists are affiliated but not actual members of the Allstars, but are featured on the tracks.

Thanks again, though.

Holla!

Thanks, Hightower, for talking about biodiesel fuels

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jim Hightower, for talking about vegetable diesel, and thanks to Pulse for running Hightower’s column; one of the reasons I pick up Pulse every week.

When I first heard that you could actually run a car on fry grease, I thought it was nothing more than an urban legend, until I looked into it and found it was true. It’s no wonder the big corporations don’t want this publicized.

Can you imagine how different the world would be if we all just filled up at Dunkin’ Donuts? No more of us would be condemned to die in the Middle East.

I understand, of course, that even veggie diesel still pollutes. But to build a cleaner world, we can’t all just suddenly turn Mennonite – we need steps like this to keep our society going while we adjust to a different way of life. Anyway, thanks, Pulse, for making my week yet again.
