Why hasn't this received more publicity? Scientists in Japan have found a method to convert plastic back into oil, which can then be refined to create products like gasoline, diesel, or kerosene. It heats up the plastic until it becomes a gas, which then is captured and converted to oil. This process has less of a carbon footprint because it doesn't use fire for the heat, thus eliminating CO2 emissions. Check out the video below (Scroll to the bottom of the article to see the video) and then continue reading.
Isn't that flipping awesome? So let's get this straight...

Or, Al Franken’s Intellectual Dishonesty, Part MMMCDLXIII
Perhaps the quote which best defines now-Senator Al Franken is a little disclaimer he placed in the intro to his laughably-titled Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. It goes, “Everything in this book is true. Either that, or it’s a joke. If you see something that doesn’t ring true, you’ve probably just missed a hilarious joke, and should blame yourself rather than me.”
Franken’s career as political activist has basically been one “joke” after another. He’s claimed Bill O’Reilly “lied” about being born in
