All these public figures talk about being green, while they're in a limo getting about 10 miles to the gallon.

Mini-scoop: Around 6:00 PM Monday I saw Laura on Carmine St in the Village. Two SUVs, NYPD, Secret Service armed to the teeth, the whole bit. Just where I was walking they pulled over (yipes!), Laura came out of the lead SUV and headed into Market Table (54 Carmine). (I'd have stuck around for more details but I was late for dinner myself.)

Why was this kept a secret?! What a great opportunity it would have been to protest Bush's environmental destruction.

Perhaps if Laura Bush had been educated about the environment, as a child, she wouldn't be trying to destroy it now. But she and her friends need the oil and war money so badly.

"if you buried laura bush in battery park with an acorn in her mouth, someday there might be a stately oak there" Yes, but then Battery Park would be "cursed"...

I agree with Atomische, If anything planting flowers does more damage to the environment because of all the oil needed to produce the plastic bins, transport the flowers, topsoil, etc. to the park where you are planting these things. How about planting something people can eat?

Mrs. Bush is going to have to plant quite a few more petunias in order to compensate for the willful sale destruction of our national park lands by her husband.
