The environmental group Sierra Club has long fought against pollution from power plants, but in its latest battle against coal, the group is using misguided rhetoric in an effort to link human exposure from power plant pollutants to tuna. In a new alarmist article to its supporters, Sierra club claims tuna-sandwich-eaters throughout the country are now being poisoned by coal plants, going so far as to note that “one-seventieth of a teaspoon [of mercury] can pollute a 20-acre lake to the point where its fish are unsafe.”

An Oregon man named Allen Heckard once reportedly sued Michael Jordan and Nike because Mr. Heckard apparently looked too much like the basketball star in his Nike gear and the unwanted attention was apparently causing him "emotional pain and suffering." He thought a payment of $832 million would help him get over the horrors of being mistaken for arguably the greatest professional basketball player who ever lived.
This is of course an example of an absurd abuse of the legal system that naturally did not pan out for the plaintiff.

In this morning’s USA Today the paper reports on Greenpeace’s flawed and oft ignored retailer rankings. But what’s caught my eye about the piece is not what they write but who is writing. It would appear to be Kim O'Donnel, perhaps the same Kim O’Donnel who used to write for the Washington Post.
