Nice little bit tonight on the Colbert Report.

Right now there’s a group of activists occupying the office of Kimberly-Clark in Toronto to protest the company’s destruction of old-growth forests for its Kleenex tissues. They are demanding the vice-president of environment meet with Greenpeace.

One of the little things I’ve been doing at the Post lately is occasionally writing CD reviews for the paper’s Daily Disc feature. Here are a couple of my latest (Bloc Party and Apostle of Hustle), and one I wrote before knowing it had already been reviewed (Julie Doiron). Enjoy!
