Syriana - New film spotlights politics of oil corruption

The remarkable new film "Syriana," offers a gripping portrayal of the moral, political and financial corruption caused by the world's insatiable thirst for oil.

Starring George Clooney, Matt Damon, Jeffrey Wright and Amanda Peet, "Syriana" takes audiences inside a global energy system that creates devastating potential for conflict and violence.

NRDC has been working with Participant Productions, one of the film's producers, to spotlight opportunities that exist right now to reduce our oil use, and to build support for new bipartisan legislation that would cut our oil demand by 2.5 million barrels a day.

Not-so-bad ideas

Ladies, the prospect of high heating costs this winter giving you the shivers? Then how about a furry, heated bra? The toasty undergarment may soon appear in some Japanese wardrobes as the country prepares for "Warm Biz" — a nationwide government campaign urging workers to bundle up and save energy on heating this winter.

The Warm Biz Bra, unveiled this week by Tokyo-based underwear maker Triumph International, is lined with material that the company says helps save warmth.

The bra also has removable pads that can be heated in a microwave or hot water as well as long, furry straps that wrap around the neck like a scarf, and matching shorts.

"Warm Biz lets you add a little fun and chic to office wear, and prevents global warming," Triumph claims. As Paris Hilton likes to say, "That's hot!"

If life is a waste of time,
and time is a waste of life,
then let's all get wasted together
and have the time of our lives!
