Funny pants, breaking par and having a little fun: A cautionary tale for tortured writers
You know what we need? Writing pants. I golf a bit. Not as much as a few years back, but it’s still a good time when I get out. Golf courses are pretty places – flora, fauna, quiet usually. And you walk around or ride around and tell dirty jokes, drink a little beer, hit the occasional good shot. Four hours or so of camaraderie in funny pants. It’s relaxing. Or it is for me. But I know some g

Dec 3, 2011 – Today, we launched the landmark human rights tribunal against six pesticide corporations: Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow, Bayer, DuPont and BASF.
