Apparently so, in honor of Earth Day. And she loves it.

When Barrymore (star of “E.T.” and “Charlie’s Angel’s,” to name a few of her films) bragged about defecating in the forest, Diaz responded she would like to have the same experience.

“I am so jealous right now, I am going — I am going to the woods tomorrow,” Diaz said. A clearly satisfied Barrymore laughed, repeating, “It was awesome.”

Read the whole amazing thing. Even if I had time to make the attempt, this stuff defies parody. I don’t even think this guy could manage it.

I think that Cartman gets it right:

(Driving through San Jose, Costa Rica)

Eric Cartman: Oh my God, it smells like @ss out here.

Miss Stevens: Alright, that does it. Eric Cartman, you respect other cultures this instant.

Eric Cartman: I wasn’t saying anything about their culture, I was just saying their city smells like @ss.

Miss Stevens: You may think that making fun of third-world countries is funny but let me…

Eric Cartman: I don’t think it’s funny. This place is overcrowded, smelly and poor. That’s not funny, that sucks.

A lot of great comments at this post on the same subject by Ron Bailey at Reason.

David Galernter writes about the reactionary, and undemocratic, Democrats.

Chuck Simmins says that Americans have now raised over a billion dollars in private aid for the tsunami victims.

Damned unilateralists.

…the Senate, as currently composed, seems to attract people who have that potent & fatal combination of dimness and self-regard, and when you elevate those sorts to the Great National Saucer, you get idiocies like the Bolton hearing. On one side, a charmless babbler like Joe Biden, whose instinct upon finding a bad metaphor is to attenuate it until it is three microns wide; on the other side, George Voinovich, who finally showed up for a hearing and pronounced himself Disturbed by the allegations. This is like a guy skipping class on the origins [of] WW2 for a month then raising his hand to ask why they haven

It occurs to me that, since April 19th is fraught with so much history with respect to the right to bear arms, and the consequences of losing that right, perhaps the NRA (or better yet, Congress) should declare it National Self Defense Day.

In addition to being the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and the Oklahoma City bombing, it’s also the twelth anniversary of Waco (which was probably one of the precipitating events for Oklahoma City).

Byron York describes the ongoing absurdity of campaign finance “reform.”

…after years of campaign-finance reform, we are entering an era in which a donor can give an unlimited amount of money to an unaccountable group without any public disclosure. Before McCain-Feingold, big donors gave fully-disclosed money to the political parties, which, because they represented the entire coalition that made up the Democratic or Republican parties, were far more accountable to the public than the new, outside, groups became. Now, new C4s like protectyourcheck.org do not even have to reveal where they get their money

On the eve of the tenth anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, Rich Fruzetti has some thoughts on the questions that remain unanswered. As he points out, Islamic terrorism on US soil didn’t begin on September 11, 2001–that’s just when we first noticed it. Perhaps if we’d been more attentive earlier, we could have been spared that event.
