It’s our second edition of the Green News Report on the web! Both of us are still celebrating by still getting over colds.

In today’s report we discuss hamburger Hummers, killing killer whales and pushing back at wingnut anti-environmental disinfo experts (yes, we’re talking to you, Rush, Fox and friends!)

Got thoughts for us? Wanna help sponsor the GNR? Wanna run it on your favorite local radio station? Let us know at GreenNews@BradBlog.com, or leave comments below.

    Dear B and D,
    Thank you so much for venturing out on this new limb. All these issues are consciousness issues and since Big Media is unconscious trying to bring about a change in these areas makes a salmon run look like a downhill racer. I’m not sure about that as a metaphore but I’m sure you get my meaning. I’ll do what I can to help.
    love,
    Dave

    Thanks Dave and Wayne. We loves venturing onto both new limbs and tortured metaphors 🙂

    Green960 (KKGN) is now running the GNR up in San Francisco each day we crank ’em out. And others are also coming on board. More info soon, but please feel free to point your local stations to https://GreenNews.BradBlog.com and tell ’em to touch base if they’d like to come aboard. It’s free!

    Thanks for your help and encouragement!

    Brad and Desi,

    I really enjoy the Green News Report and I’ll leave the link at blogs I visit but- but the musical intro must be named! I don’t know the name to the song but every time I hear it, it just rattles around my brain for awhile. Funny thing is I think I have it here somewhere among an extensive music collection that is just too daunting to search for one song the name of which is lost to me. Help me out please, the ol’ data retrieval process just fails me for song titles anymore; what’s the name? Thanks in advance for having a ‘senile friendly’ blog 😉

    Addendum: I had to listen to this report twice, going right from ‘cattle manure’ as a source of global warming (and the implication that we need less c*** left in the wake of large bovine creatures)to Rush Limbaugh started me laughing; the jokes just wrote themselves.

    Don’t get me wrong here, I love cows, I have known a couple of cows personally, they have beautiful and expressive eyes and I wouldn’t normally insult them by association with Rush Limbaugh but I just couldn’t help it. So I had to listen twice because my laughing stepped on your next segment.

    You are very subversive I think. 😉

    LottaKatz – We’re nothing if not “Senile-Friendly” friendly here! 🙂

    The song is “Soak Up the Sun” from Sheryl Crow. Though don’t get too disappointed if we mix it up a bit and use a few other tunes as well. Variety being the spice of life and all! 🙂

    (Sorry for the delayed reply, have been on the road for several of the last few days!)
