The War That Never Ends…

Apologies to everyone for the lack of posts lately. I had to back away from the site because I’m trying to get another project rolling–cross your fingers on that one, and hopefully I’ll have exciting news to announce in coming months. Fortunately for GreenIsTheNewRed.com, though, the “War on Terrorism” is a bit like a case […]

I’m Baaaaaaaack…

It’s been a while since the last update, and I apologize. Writing about the Green Scare and “eco-terrorism” unfortunately doesn’t pay the bills, so sometimes I’m at the mercy of other writing. Anyway, new posts are on the way. In the meantime, check out this hilarious/ridiculous/frustrating marquee at the Clinton Street Theater for the speaking […]
