But for a good reason
Former mermaid and eye patch enthusiast Daryl Hannah, along with NASA climatologist James Hansen and 31 other do-gooders, was arrested yesterday for obstructing officers and impeding traffic after sitting in the middle of a road outside Massey Energy’s Goals Coal preparation plant.

Hannah addressed a crowd of miners at the plant:
“I’d like to thank all of the miners for all of the work you’ve done powering America…But there is no need to destroy our planet to power our future.”
It wasn’t the first green-related arrest for Ms. Hannah. In 2006, she was arrested for chaining herself to a walnut tree which was to be demolished to make space for a warehouse in Los Angeles.
I don’t watch Jon and Kate Plus 8. Never have. But they are all over the dang news and they are hard to ignore. So here’s your latest Jon and Kate news. They are ovah! They are getting a divorce after ten years of marriage. Color me surprised.
Here are some promo shots of Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland starring Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, and Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen of Hearts. The movie also stars Crispin Glover, Alan Rickman, and Stephen Fry, and is slated to be released sometime in 2010. With such a strong cast, I hope the movie will be fantastical in its awesomitude. I really didn’t enjoy Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; it was too weird for me. Or maybe I hadn’t taken enough LSD when I saw it. And by “enough” I mean “any.”
