The Courier newspaper in Findlay, Ohio, has featured on this blog previously. Mostly full of parochial affairs, it does however feature a regular and occasionally interesting summary of crimes committed in the area.

An entertaining post on the Dizzy’s blog this morning about the extinction of species has reminded TheEye of this clip of EarthFirst eco-nutjob hippies wailing and crying over trees.

From the Oxford Mail comes a depressing sign of our times. An executive sacked from one of the UK’s biggest property companies began his defence today of an employment tribunal decision that he can claim he was unfairly dismissed because of his belief in climate change. Tim Nicholson, 42, from […]

Treehugging, possibly lycanthropic web-2.0 campaigners have launched a petition intended to “stop NASA from bombing the Moon!”. The organisers of the petition claim that the space agency is turning unspoiled lunar wilderness into a “firing range” for space weapons, and that US “imperialists” intend to colonise the moon “without regard […]
