A few months ago a good friend told me about this funky new book called Thanking The Monkey by Karen Dawn that “I just have to read.” Now even though I’m a loudmouth vegan who preaches the gospel to tens of thousands each day, in real life I hardly have ANY vegetarian friends. So you can imagine how impressed I was that a book which reexamines the way we treat animals had managed to catch the attention of my omnivore compadre. Long story short: I bought the book and by page 30 I’d contacted Karen to set up an interview.
Besides being endorsed by just about every heavyweight vegetarian celebrity out there, Karen Dawn has most recently received praise from the Washington Post and NBC . As the founder of DawnWatch , Karen was given the Farm Sanctuary’s 2008 Outstanding Activist for Farm Animals Award. Dawn recently sat down with Ecorazzi for an exclusive interview and shared with us a BRAND NEW star-studded promo video. Enjoy!
Hey Karen! So great to ...

It prohibits ranchers from keeping chickens, veal calves and breeding pigs in pens that are too s... more
Fun, toe-tapping puzzle by Allan E. Parrish. Took me a little while to figure out what was going on with the theme.
38A. Activity exemplified in the ’60s by the ends of 17-, 28-, 48- and 64-Across (DANCING) .
60s dancing styles is just one of the many topics of which I’m completely ignorant. Wikipedia has detailed descriptions of each dance. I was going to copy them here but they are rather long and in the interest of space I will only copy what I feel to be the essence ... more

On the first day, Wakan Tanka created the dog and said:
“Sit all day by the door of your lodge and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past.
For this I will give you a life span of twenty years.”
The dog said: “That’s a long time to be barking.
How about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?”
So Wakan Tanka agreed.
On the second day, Wakan Tanka created the Monkey and said:
“Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I will give you a... more
I have the phrase ’Trick or Treat’, but when I use it in the shops, it doesn’t give me anything. It worked last year...
Is this a bug, or has Trick or Treating not started yet? If it’s not started yet, when does it start? :)

Wow, this is awesome. I just found out about this through this week’s Grist List . First, just click this link and come back to read while you listen to these awesome tunes. Some major artists like Sting , Dido , Maroon 5 , Coldplay , U2 , and (the last recording of) Ibrahim Ferrer are singing some incredible songs that you probably know - but with a latin twist. Incredible. Sting singing in Spanish and it sounds great.
In fact, I declare now in this moment, that I... more
