My overall impression

Abie Philbin Bowman started out as a Gandhi-loving idealist from Potato Island (aka Ireland) when an interaction with an ex prompted him to become the change he wanted to see in the fight against global warming. Through a combination of absurd correlations and bizarro logic, he proves that Al Quaeda is an exemplary leader in the fight against carbon emissions and no meal is truly local, healthy, and free of socio-political implications. Not for the easily offended or champions of political correctness, Bowman’s excitedly lisping speech meanders and loses momentum at times, but is saved by smartly-clever acoustic renditions of REM’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It” and “I (Earth) Will Survive.”
