I am pleased to say that I care more about Paris Hilton than about Global Warming.

The world will end as we know it on december 22, 2012. The end of the Mayan calendar. Or is it the 23rd?

Al Gore should spend more time worrying about his humongous waistline.

I don’t agree with Manning’s assessment of the majority of people as being concerned more about Paris, Brittney and Victoria. Most people are simply trying to keep their corner of the world pleasant and orderly. The ones obsessing about the celebrities tend to be those who are screwed up or living vicariously and they are the ones simple enough to believe what is written or broadcast. The rest of society is working five to six days a week, keeping their own homes together, playing with their kids, going to church and temple (and mosque) and pay attention to what they can change.

When these people do speak up, about global warming, immigration, morality and standards, they are immediately shut down by “the elite” so most have just turned off and do what they believe is right in their own lives. That’s a far cry from how this elitist snob portrays the “common man” who not only actually has common sense but is quite common if one looks closely.

algore IS the Paris Hilton of politics.

>>Immigration bill? Who cares. Global warming? We’ll talk about that later. War on Terror? We’ve got better things to think about. We just want to see Barry Bonds hit another home run, we want to listen to the latest Nelly Furtado album, we want to read about David and Victoria Beckham’s adjustment to life in L.A., we want to watch Survivor, The Apprentice, Big Brother or whatever noxious reality-TV show floats our boat, we want to eat KFC and drink Pepsi and pretend that it’s good for us (and subsequently blame our 300-pound butts on anyone but ourselves), we want to pray for poor little Britney Spears and most of all, we’ve got to rescue Paris Hilton from the indignity of jail. These are the things that matter most to your average person. Sad, but true. <<

TRUE?
Yes, and no.

What I have observed here in Los Angeles and with the New York based MSM, ~ from there to the public and various opportunists(one of which is a Reverend Bacon character from a Tom Wolfe novel) — It has been a lynch mob!

No one, certainly not Paris Hilton deserves to be treated like this, like a Super Dangerous criminal/Public Enemy.

Paris Hilton is a product of our decadent popular culture, this Age of MTV.
She is famous because WE choose to make he so.

In the end, Paris Hilton is a human being, not a monster that the Press & Public have been acting collectively to destroy as a means of wronging the failings of The System.

We are the villains here, not Paris
She is the victim of our schoolyard capriciousness

Algore, the leftist liar.

Actually, instead of worrying so much about algore and his global warming schtick, we should just use it to solve the immigration problem...here's how it goes:

13-million illegal immigrants now, more than 150 million forcasted. Let's split the difference and say we level off at about 50-million. That's at least 25-million new automobiles on the road, because with all their new jobs, they'll have the means to purchase them.



So - based on the b/s that algore spouts regularly, that will be 25-million MORE cars contributing to his beloved "global warning".

MORAL: Illegal immigrants will contribute significantly to global warning, and therefore the immigration will should be killed dead, and buried forever.

But that begs another question: It has been reported that China is now the leading contibutor to air pollution...so then why isn't algore touring all those countries who are not regulated, and selling them on the idea...after all, he did say 'GLOBAL' warming, didn't he?

Maybe he's just trying to bring down the U.S.
