A U.K. government study calculated that a shopper would need to reuse a cotton carryout bag 131 times to reduce its global warming potential – its expected total contribution to climate change – below that of plastic carryout bags used once to carry newly purchased goods. To have less impact on the climate than plastic carryout bags also reused as trash bags, consumers would need to use the cotton bag 327 times.

Radley Balko investigates the Little Rock police department. What he found isn't good. But there will be defense attorneys filing plenty of motions to suppress evidence. That will make them happy.

To answer Amy’s question - Its the same reason so many successful comedians are Canadian. Both type of work require an outstanding sense of humour. (Humour spelled the Canadian way)

A reckoning for the news media in the USofA? it is deserved, but I don't see it happening other than ever fewer consumers of their product and a general pointing of fingers and a "ha ha" from the general public.
