I was told by a neighbor that I can use club soda to kill fire ants by pouring about two cups directly in the center of the mound. He said the carbon dioxide in the water displaces the oxygen, which suffocates the queen and the other ants, killing the whole colony within about two days. Is there any legitimacy to this? ...more

The editorial board at the Highlands Today has the satirical sense of humor of the publishers of "The Onion." We have recently been treated to great pearls. There was the fellow who put Michael Moore and Keith Olbermann in the same scary category as terrorist groups Al Qaida and Hamas. ...more

The lack of concrete data on which facilities were emitting greenhouse gases and how much they were spewing into the atmosphere led to a major flaw in the European Union's cap-and-trade system: the over-allocation of pollution permits to industry. This mistake led to the collapse of the carbon market. Thanks to action taken by the Environmental Protection Agency this month, the United States will not make the same mistake. ...more
