So, as usual, I’m waking up one morning last week to find that my wife already has the morning news on. It’s CNN’s “American Morning”, just wrapping up a piece on the rebellion in Burma, and following it with one of those obnoxious, cloying Chevron Oil “human energy” ads and, though way too early, my foggy brain starts going “Burma… Chevron… Burma… Chevron… ” …and, as usual, a train wreck of dissonant ideas in my early-morning REM state causes inspiration…
More on Chevron’s involvement in Burma from the “Oil Change” Web site.
