26 May 2006

It's just a jump to the left

Welcome to Grist List's time-warp edition! This week, Al Gore and both Clintons made noise about global warming and energy policy. For a sec we thought we'd been transported to 1996, but then we realized: a decade ago, they weren't saying a damn thing.

It's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane

Guess which '80s comeback diva was just named "world's sexiest vegetarian"? His name is Prince and he is ~~funky~~ crunchy! But how did all those veggie voters overlook us Grist-ebrities? We demand a recount.
