Nothing says December spirit like Jesus with a shotgun and Santa on the ground. That’s the front yard display that has one neighborhood up in arms this Christmas season, and though the man — no, artiste! — who created the scene understands the objection, our Central Coast News anchor assures us that he has an explanation.

On Friday at The Society Of Environmental Journalists conference, Al Gore got caught up in the increasingly common "town hall" moment with independent filmmaker Phelim McAleer. McAleer is making a documentary titled "Not Evil Just Wrong," which will attempt to debunk global warming by labeling such concerns "hysteria." McAleer starts the video stating he's going to ask Gore "tough questions," and during the Q & A starts aggressively questioning Gore about inconsistencies in An Inconvenient Truth and whether he accepts the British High Court's ruling that the film contains errors. McAleer goes on to badger Gore about polar bear statistics until he's asked to stop and then his mike is cut.

U.S. oil company Chevron said Monday that it expects to lose a case which charges the company’s Texaco branch with polluting Ecuador’s rain forest with oil-contaminated water for nearly two decades.
An expert appointed by Ecuador’s courts assessed the damages to the locals’ health and environment to be $27 billion: A sum which Chevron spokesman Don Campbell bluntly told The Wall Street Journal, “We’re not paying and we’re going to fight this for years if not decades into the future.”
It will be the largest award ever in an environmental lawsuit, even if it goes uncollected.
“Chevron intends to fight enforcement by claiming the trial was unfair, in part because Ecuador’s president has publicly supported the plaintiffs,” noted Business Insider’s Erin Geiger Smith.
The Journal reported: “Chevron denies the allegations, arguing that Texaco’s operations in Ecuador met local and international standards, that a $40 million cleanup effort in the 1990s resolved any environmental liability the company had there, and that any remaining problems are the responsibility of Petroecuador, the state-run oil company that took over Texaco’s operations.”U.S. oil company Chevron said Monday that it expects to lose a case which charges the... more

I'm usually not doing this, but this is very prior to not only Current, but its future, you may have already known a post like this created Delia, and I am have did the same, here is the link to the same petition,
I've gathered a majority of the different users' opinions and summarized some of them up and some I quoted...
@ All of Current Staff, these are what some of users had to say about wanting to bring back Current tv, I've taken the notice that you, the staff hasn't even asked the users of what they feel about the feature being gone, its as if you pretended nothing had happend until we had to ask you..
"Free the Weed & Bring Back Vicky!
What I miss is getting that email saying "Your a homepage hero!" or even better "Your story on Current Tonight"
Those were the good old days..."
~Unimartix0
~Without Current News, Current will lag, without its main feature...and will be useless
"Particularly if the robot is giving news Current members have decided was news."
~Neocongo
"Why are you guys surprised?, every platform that gets it's boost from it's users quickly dumps them and goes for the money... in the form of sponsored programming and focusing on more lucrative subjects and topics of discussion. We are no longer needed!"
~Mafioso
"I'm 100% with you. I remember when voting for the content of an article meant something. I remember when Current was actually current. They shoudl change the name to Weekly-Filtered-Producer Approved TV.
I don't have all day to wait to see my name in lights, dammit! I want to have my cyber-ego stroked every hour on the hour!!! Vicki RULES!!
Without OUR participation and inclusion, Current is just Mtv with a sprinkling of CNN on top; the bastard child of YouTube."
~Bansheewail
~Its pretty questioning of how Current News will work with this format, so I'm suggesting to bring back the old format as well~!
~Current News is the BEST part about Current itself..
'I KNOW! I want Vicky BACK. That is one of the only reasons i actually watched and participated in Current"
~NotCaleb
"Vicky is the one who inspired me to join current.com. i only got to see current when I visited my brother in DC, and once I saw that cool robot give user chosen news every hour inbetween awesome shows, i KNEW i wanted to be a contributer, a part of the current community"
~Hollowman218
And the main post :
We want the Hourly Current News Program with our lovely Robot Voice, Vicky, BACK on TV.
This is clear in every single post regarding the Current Community. It always gets brought up - Why no more hourly news? Why don't we see the users on TV as much anymore? It was awesome, Vicky was awesome, and we want them back - is Current Media for the people or will you dismiss the voice of your demographic?
I'm trying to get 1,000 signatures. I have no guarantee that Current will listen and deviate from whatever plans they may have, but you never know if you don't try!
Sign at the link!^-^;
