Nothing noble about Al's 'shockumentary'
The Washington Times ^ | 10-12-07 | Wes Pruden

Posted on 10/12/2007 11:10:38 AM PDT by JZelle

Al Gore is standing by in Oslo this morning (unless he went to Stockholm by mistake), waiting for the Nobel Peace Prize committee to tell him whether he won it.

It's not clear what Al has done to make peace, but the committee often chooses someone who doesn't have anything to do with peace, a vain and foolish fancy of men besotted by vanity. Wise men seek justice. Vain men, the Scriptures warn us, "cry peace, peace, when there is no peace."

Peace is what Al travels the world to disturb, and he's counting on hitting the jackpot. The prize is worth 10 million kroner, and that comes to a cool million and a half dollars, which is a lot more than his Oscar is worth, even if you throw in his Emmy. But Al has projector, will travel, so if you see him coming at you, with projector in hand and Tipper following behind with the popcorn and a CD of his movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," take the popcorn.

Al left town yesterday, burning up thousands of gallons of aviation fuel and sending nobody knows how many tons of C02 into the atmosphere to contribute to global warming, just to stand by while the Nobel committee types up the press release, which Al could have read in the Nashville newspaper. Getting the news from a distance is the way the other winners do it. The 10 million kroner won't be awarded until the ceremony in Oslo in December.

The Goracle has hit the Liberal trifecta—Oscar, Emmy, and Nobel—on a false documentary about a non-event.

This truly is the Bizarro World.

Uhh....Gore is actually in the Bay Area this morning...unless he has mastered the art of being in two places at once.

“Up is down, down is up.”
Ocean levels were 10-15 feet HIGHER during the Medievil Warm Period, when they grew wine grapes in Britain.

FUNNY how The Goracle never mentions that, isn’t it?

The “Great Global Warming Scare” is nothing more than the vehicle to push International Socialism toward it’s goals of Global Control....

I’ve been hanging upside down so long the blood is rushing to my head.

That’s what the Nobel is as of the last decade or two -

the Global Socialism prize.

"Up is down, down is up. The world's supposed to get crazy before it all ends."

The left is ever so slowly attempting to impart their alternate reality on all sane people.....

It won't be to long before the PC cops start arresting/committing those who question the basis of this fictitious realm....fee speech will become a hate crime....any person that confronts it will be deemed mentally ill....or a criinal...

If you pay attention....you might even notice some of it manifesting itself now....

Ocean levels were 10-15 feet HIGHER during the Medievil Warm Period, when they grew wine grapes in Britain.

And Greenland was initially called Vinland by the Vikings that established temporary settlements there, implying the presence of wild grapes.

Thanks for those links. I’ve been in constant debate with a “libertarian” who supports Algore’s global warming claims, and who has asked me for documentation against Algore’s alarmist fears.

I shall keep my friend busy awhile.

Obviously political. There has been only 1 US Republican politican to win the Nobel, Teddy Roosevelt, and some question just how Republican Teddy was. While 3 Dim politicians have won: Wilson, Carter, and now Gore. How much more partisan can you get, 3 to 1?

Global warming is a liberal myth.

AL Gore getting a Nobel for “An Inconvenient Truth” is like electing Spinal Tap to the Rock ‘n’ Roll hall of Fame.
