Cosmic Karma-Reporter Takes Spill

Talk about the stars being aligned (from the Daily Mail) If he didn’t believe in karma before, Piers Morgan must surely do now.

The Prozac Diaries: Eugene Robinson Joins The Cast

14 Questions After Live Earth

Now that the Goracle’s concert even is over, I wonder if the media will do their job and ask questions. I’ll give kudos to Al if he put on the concert because of belief, but, based on his own lifestyly, I have to call BS on his motives. His concert let people go out, have […]
