Thanks for the new thread, L.

IG, I'll never think of multiple "pings" in the same way. (Oh, so that's what the kids are calling it nowadays).

Here's a laugher:

ROBERT F. Kennedy Jr. is considering burning down his Mount Kisco home and rebuilding it from scratch because it's so infested with bugs. Our wag in Westchester claims that Kennedy, a crusading environmentalist, is considering torching his family home because it's overrun with "something like termites, but not termites." Apparently in some circles, setting a home ablaze is considered more ecologically sound than simply spraying it with chemical pesticides.

When we called Kennedy for comment, he told us: "I urge you not to write this — it will damage the value of my house." He added: "We don't know what we're going to do," and declined further comment.

But it wouldn't be surprising for Kennedy to choose the most environmentally correct option. [It seems to me that creating all that smoke will cause all sorts of asthma problems!! RFKJr. accuses Bush of giving millions of children asthma through his enviro policies] As chief lawyer for Hudson Riverkeeper, a group dedicated to preserving the "ecological integrity" of the Hudson River, Kennedy has sued local governments and companies for polluting the Hudson and Long Island Sound and has gone after sewage treatment plants to force compliance with the Clean Water Act.
