On an Earth Day-themed episode of 'The Simpsons' (Sun., 8PM ET on Fox), Homer decides to become more ecologically conscious. Of course, this eventually results in him falling off a boat and being surrounded by deadly sharks. Why "of course"? Because when Homer Simpson is involved, any seemingly good idea will always lead to danger and disaster.

We all know about the Green movement that has pushed its way into every facet of our lives. And though its been around for a few years, some folks believe this thinking of greener living, which equals the lack of oceanfront property in the middle of Iowa, is a brand new concept. This couldn't be further from the truth!

The fact is, there have been surges of environmentally-conscious thought in every decade since Earth Day was conceived back in 1970. The biggest surge came in the early '70s when Woodsy Owl told us to "Give a hoot -- don't pollute' and a crying Native American lamented over the trash thrown out of moving cars. This thinking even permeated the safe haven of Saturday morning cartoons during this time, thanks in no part to a bunch of washed-up Hanna-Barbera characters in a flying, wooden ark.

"Faisceau-F@#k-Au Palais de L'Elysee": French President Jacques Chirac -- whose name is more fun to obnoxiously repeat than my own -- will not return for a third term.

"Bad Impressions?": Senior Washington Correspondent John Oliver stopped by to continue the Alberto Gonzalez coverage. He explained exactly why Bush would let such incompetence to flourish around him... Obviously, Bush would rather have his people sound like idiots than divulge inside information on the administration. Logical! I'm glad they're not using Oliver non-stop now. Always in moderation, folks.
