The winner was an environmentalist, Tim Flannery, and in his acceptance speech he criticized Australia as "the worst atmospheric polluter per capita" in the world. The funny part? The look on the face of John Howard, who was standing beside him for the entire speech holding the award.

I apologize for the lack of updates recently. I must admit, I've been having some "New Year's Blues". Any of you that know me well, know that I am, by nature, a planner.
