who I am
I'm MaryAnn Johanson: writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.

That is pretty hilarious. The hummer driving past the American flag was priceless.
I'm a huge supporter of finding cleaner, safer renewable energy. The problem is, I live in West Virginia, and this state is dependent on the coal industry. Politicians have two choices: cut the use of coal, and risk hundreds of thousands of people losing their high-paying jobs and killing the economy of several appalachian states (granted we don't have an economy to begin with). Or continue to use coal, and destroy the o-zone layer, etc. Too bad "clean coal" is practically impossible, or else we'd have the best of both worlds.
