Want to groom like Brad Pitt? We know you do. It’s ok, we do too, even though most of us here at Beanstockd don’t have ’staches to shave. Pitt has signed on to endorse a new, eco-friendly line of body products from Kiehl’s, our favorite too-expensive-but-oh-so-good pharmacy. The aloe vera biodegradable liquid cleanser will be released in October, and sadly, Brad won’t appear on the bottle, or in the ads. Happily, all proceeds will go straight to JPF Eco Systems, a new foundation created by Kiehl’s and Pitt to benefit global initiatives to "minimize impact on the environment through thoughtful design." Read: the cleanser is expected to make at least $1 million big ones; going green has never been so profitable. Or so sexy. Mmm, Brad Pitt. This is one expense we’re just going to have to justify.

We heart Bob Herbert for ripping McCain a new one in this awesome New York Times editorial. For a little while McCain has been comparing himself to the last decent Republican on record, Theodore Roosevelt. What John "Drill ‘Em If You Got ‘Em" McCain doesn’t seem to realize is that Teddy altogether popularized the green movement.

But you know what? Fine. If McCain wants to be a "Theodore Roosevelt Republican," he can start by turning down all donations from oil companies. Then he can promise to protect environments with endangered species. Then he can dedicate his free time to supporting Natural History museums.

While Theodore Roosevelt was a hunter, he was also the first true green badass. And just so you know, he was also a regular, run-of-the-mill, salt-of-the-Earth, meat-and-potatoes badass.
