Global warming deniers beware, because young Alex Budd is ready to debate you anytime. What’s more, the 15-year-old Fairview High School student has been blessed by Al Gore himself and taught in the ways of conservation, recycling and Greenism. Budd is believed to be the youngest person to undergo Gore’s training and emerge as an environmental crusader. Budd is one of about 1,000 folks trained in Nashville, Tenn., to spread the word about global warming.

As the popular film Wedding Crashers taught us, nuptials and funerals are great for sexual hook-ups. How else to explain the alleged behavior of a 31-year-old Boulder man busted in early April for fondling the breast of a dead woman’s teenaged sister during a memorial service. (more…)
