Nobel Prize Winner Gore? (Groan)

An inconvenient Peace Prize

Read why the Nobel peace prize has become somewhat of a joke, and simply a political statement.

There is nothing wrong with educating people on Global Warming, however there are several misconceptions which are repeatedly supported. The most common of these is perhaps that everyone on the coast will drown in 50 years if nothing is done. The last is that we as a population can prevent the adverse effects from happening. Scientists who aren't a part of the miss-information machine will explain that the damage can not be reversed, and earth will have to repair itself.

Global Warming 'Past the Point of No Return'

It's actually simple chemistry. Plants remove carbon dioxide from the air, when they die the take it with them decompose and may eventually become deposits of fossil fuels in thousands of years. By burning this fuel we are quickly releasing all of the Carbon Dioxide removed by plants over the course of thousands of years of world history. The world CAN NOT process this increased carbon dioxide as fast as we create it.

Does this mean we shouldn't bother eliminating fossil fuels from our diet? Of course not, but when you fill people's heads with garbage, and they figure out that you are just either:
A. using a cause as a platform to make money, or gain political power; or
B. trying to scare people into responsible behavior, they'll lose respect for you, and your cause.

Not to mention.... Al Gore really doesn't follow his own advice.

The Not-So-Green Al Gore

Democrats: War Mongers

Turkey threatens repercussions for U.S. : So the Democrats have decided after 80 years to let the Turks know they disapprove of actions inflicted upon Armenians by the Ottoman Empire. A dumb move on the part of the Democrats, or is it just a Machiavellian tactic? I hate to say it, but the timing reeks of a Machiavellian tactic... This really is something to post votes up on because these people (the dems) are voting DIRECTLY for more war. Once they come in... I'll get the names.


Nancy Pelosi on the timing: “Why do it now? Because there’s never a good time and all of us in the Democratic leadership have supported” it, she said.

From the article: Turkish warplanes and helicopter gunships attacked suspected positions of Kurdish rebels on the border this week and Turkey's parliament was expected to vote next week on a proposal to allow the military to pursue a large-scale offensive in northern Iraq.


From the article: Historians estimate up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I. Turkey denies the deaths constituted genocide, saying the killings didn't come from a coordinated campaign but rather during unrest accompanying the Ottoman Empire's collapse.

They are right... about it being genocide. But does this 80 year old horrible event really need to be brought up again? Additionally the 1 million dollar question is why are the Democrats bringing it up now in the middle of a war where the Turkish are amongst our only allies in the area? My morbid guess is to make things worse. Intentionally. Their few attempts to scale back the Iraq war failed and this is their new morally bankrupt tactic. Burn more bridges, cause more death, destabilize a peaceful region of Iraq, all with the hopes that you can blame it on Bush and the GOP with the intent of getting VOTES AND POWER. Nothing more, Nothing less. Evil. Despicable. Or incredibly poor judgement. It's as though they are playing with the emotions and prejudices of a region, just to make their own dreams of grandeur come true.

Horses should stop being slobs

How did Menino get elected? Better yet, how did he get re-elected?

In the Boston Metro, the Mayor Thomas Menino explains the equine digestive process of Boston Police horses. The impression given is that they are unique due to their thoughtfully maintained diets. This is cutting edge stuff.

Perhaps he is being rude or sarcastic in response to a rather silly complaint. (The complaint was over horse poop.) Regardless I don't get how his public relations people let this response slip by.

Metro moments with the Mayor from the mayor's response: "April, the Boston Police Mounted Unit feeds their horses natural products and, as a result, their manure is bio-degradable."

The take home message: Feed a horse Twinkies and Diet Coke and perhaps you can start a rubber plant.

Also on that note: Paper is bio-degradable, as are food products... does that mean we can litter as long as the litter in question will return to nature in a relatively short time?

For April who wrote the following: "People step on it or cars will run through it. Since people are required to immediately take up after their pets, why is this same procedure not followed with these horses?" The way I see it April: A) Enjoys walking down the middle of the street, rather than on the sidewalk. Or.... B) April is incredibly lazy and doesn't think she should pick up Fido's crap. Or.... perhaps C) If the horse can take a dump in the road why can't April?

Oh...wait Maybe... April just needs a job and she wants to follow the horses around all day with trash bags, just waiting for them to crap. April could catch the crap in mid air and would ask for only some of that wonderful natural food that the Boston Police horses chow on. After all, Whole Foods can be pricey.

I can't imagine what a person such as April must be like when she has a real problem.
