Why is it that everything that is good for our bodies, communities, and the environment called an alternative? An alternative to what? It’s an alternative to deforestation at an unprecedented rate, extinction of animal species at an unprecedented rate, it’s like we have to change our languishing and not allow them to call it an alternative, it’s not an alternative, it’s the solution.

If the problem is the norm, wouldn’t an alternative be the solution, but also a correct term in and of itself?

Maybe it’s because self-righteousness is rarely the best marketing strategy? Just saying.

She’s got a point, though.

ESPN: Man falls head first from upper deck during Thrashers-Senators game
I fear that this may happen to me one day during a game when the Canucks are getting blown out. Although, I will be extremely inebriated when it happens.
OTTAWA — A 21-year-old man was taken to hospital after he fell about 25 feet from the upper deck of Scotiabank Place during the second intermission of the Ottawa Senators’ victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Wednesday night.
According to witnesses, the man sailed headfirst past and over a few stunned onlookers in the rows ahead of his seat before clearing the low railing at the bottom of the third level and falling onto a row of seats in the level immediately below.
Senators president and CEO Roy Mlakar said the man was carrying two beers when he stumbled over a purse.
“He was not inebriated,” said Mlakar, who confirmed that the man had been treated on the scene for lacerations and that he was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure.

Q. Does the Governor General have any real choice here? Rejecting Harper’s plea for suspending parliament would amount to dismissing him.
A. The very fact that you need authorization from the Governor General to prorogue parliament means that there is some leeway there for the Governor General to say Yes or No.
Q. So he has to persuade her.
A. It’s incumbent on the PM to present a good justification. And here it looks as if there is one. The usual justification for proroguing is that MPs have to consult. There is certainly a good case to be made that MPs should go out and consult with their constituents.
Q. So what would you say she should do?
A. She’s got to take the least interventionist path, which would be to accede to his request.

Cutting Edge Music Festival
It doesn’t matter who you get to play. There is no excuse for naming your festival something this shitty.
I was sort of disappointed in it. Although, to be fair, because of their regular brew, my expectations were obscenely high.Innis & Gunn has a beer aged in an oak rum cask.
I’m down with this.
