"Who Knew...Dennis Kucinich"
Imagine my surprise when I saw Congressman Dennis Kucinich featured in none other than the April issue of Yoga Journal! Apparently this poster boy for the hero archetype is a serious meditator. He says it allows him to "rise above the political fray." Go Dennis! Of course, Cielito can shed some insight since she ran as his delegate during his remarkably enduring 2004 presidential campaign endorsed by the likes of Danny Glover and Sean Penn. So here's the official Elle Empire shout-out to Dennis Kucinich, who's own life sounds like a Hollywood hero story! Om Shanti Shanti Shanti!
Cielito [seen here with Congressman Kucinich] has seen this hero do an astounding yoga handstand!

Amanda Griscom Little, Grist Magazine
A razor-thin Senate vote to open the Arctic Refuge to oil drilling sends enviros reeling. If they can get into the Arctic, then no place is off-limits.

THE CASE FOR COMICS
Kristian Williams, Columbia Journalism Review
Fusing images with text, comics can convey far more than traditional news stories to a readership hungry for voice and meaning.

IN A GREEN MOOD
Sabrina Ford, Pop and Politics
The fact that McDonald’s markets their chemically-engineered goodies to black people using people who look like us is nothing new. But their latest efforts – ads featuring the Williams’s sisters and bootleg spoken word – is just wrong!

THE COURTS AND THE WAR ON TERROR
Karen J. Greenberg, Tomdispatch.com
The Bush administration's legal battle with terrorism is over-hyped, ineffective, and suggests a deep contempt of human rights and the law.
