Al Gore, jerked from the kid's table...

I am constantly fascinated and amazed by the never ending parade of bizarre world events, but specifically the recent misplaced honoring of Al Gore with a Nobel Peace Prize. The world has been on the cusp of insanity for some time, but the level of said insanity to which we have attained is now legendary. We have transcended the anecdotal and have now canonized Al Gore with the Nobel.

What has Al Gore truly accomplished? He took the current “hot” topic, claimed it as his own, then sensationalized it ad nauseam! Voila, one Nobel Peace Prize in the bag! I am surprised that Mr. Gore did not win the Nobel for his self proclaimed invention of the Internet. Maybe the committee missed that one.

So what’s wrong with Mr. Gore’s prize? Everything! He has done literally nothing, with the exception of hanging precariously from the stained shirt tail of quasi-science while gaining fame and fortune through his sky is falling rhetoric! It is easy to identify global problem areas but the real trick is creating solutions to those problems. Has Mr. Gore delivered practical solutions to “global warming?” No! He has championed a cause that uses hazy science at best to conclude that mankind can reverse global warming through the implementation of "carbon credits." Typical answer from someone that does not live in the real world. Make people pay to pollute!

Science changes its tack at the whim of whoever yells the loudest. As Mr. Gore desires to make us all pay for global warming through the purchase and trading of “carbon credits” (a scheme to fix global warming?) one must think of who that will really benefit. Will “carbon credits” fix the problem? Ludicrous, ridiculous, unimaginably beyond common sense and just plain dumb! Will Mr. Gore’s carbon credits get 1,000,000,000 Chinese to stop driving?

I have to hand it to Mr. Al Gore for his ability to spin a tapestry of B.S. so artfully that it jerks him from the kids table and sits him down with the grown ups. Some of the deserving grown ups include; 1903’s Maria Sklodowska-Curie discoverer of radioactivity, 1954’s Linus Pauling for his hybridized orbital theory and nuclear test-ban treaty activism, 1956’s William Shockley co-inventor of the transistor and 1958’s Frederick Sanger for his work with the insulin molecule and virus nucleotide sequencing.

So where does a sensationalist like Al Gore fit in with real achievement? He doesn’t! End of story.

Al Gore's book: "I'm An Idiot"

Congratulations go to Al Gore for his new book release, "The Assault on Reason." Within its magical pages Mr. Gore lambastes the Bush administration, tells our troops what they have done is wrong and a waste of time and pretty much encourages terrorists that if they keep at it they will win! Not in exactly those words but really that's what it says. This is after all, what Mr. Gore wants, is it not? To prove Bush wrong at all cost, even at the expense of our country.

This seems to be a recurring theme amongst some. It is almost so obvious that I can’t help wondering if there is anyone out there that still cares. The desire to whack Bush is like mob mentality run amok.

In Mr. Gore’s book “The Assault on Reason” he outlines how much better the world would have been had he been elected president. From better preparation for 911 to Katrina to the no-war on Iraq, Mr. Gore spells it all out. Non-elected President Gore has his self-deceived view but I think the depiction below is more accurate.

After 911 “President” Gore would have asked the terrorists to stop doing that stuff. The government would be converted into a monarchy with King Al being fed grapes by school children. Health care would be run by the U.N. with Kofi signing the checks. Osama would be sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom (on the floor). Saddam would be Secretary of Defense. There would be an elite French guardsman standing watch outside the White House as a Canadian minstrel wearing red leotards bowing a fiddle prances around singing “Oh Canada”. Barbara Streisand and friends would be having a picnic on the east lawn with little birds flying around making a joyous sound. Gasoline would cost 33 cents per litre and the world would be back to a normal temperature.

I think that “Panacea of Propaganda” would be a more accurate title for Mr. Gore’s book. Long live King Al!

The Reverend Al Sharpton, Bigot and Liar

Al Sharpton is a Bigot and a Liar.

During a debate on religion and politics at the New York Public Library with atheist author Christopher Hitchens, The Reverend Al Sharpton said, "As for the one “Mormon” running for office, those that really believe in God will defeat him anyway, so don't worry about that. That's a temporary situation."

The previous comment by the Reverend Al Sharpton was not taken out of context as professed by his worship, the reverend Al Sharpton and was obviously bigoted. Reverend Al Sharpton recently championed the Imus lynching for being a radio bigot but now who will champion the lynching of the Reverend Al Sharpton for the same tendency? Probably no one because it's apparently “ok” for some persons of color to say whatever they want against anybody they choose, but to call attention to a bigoted person of color is an offense the ACLU would salivate all over. (As a side note Google up some of the founders of the ACLU and see what comes up. You’ll find a great deal of communist, socialist, feminist, radical this and that, in their founders)

People need to flush these chumps out of the cracks of society and into the daylight. Yes the Reverend Al Sharpton is a smooth talking chump. As the story unfolds, Sharpton turns the attack onto Romney saying that Romney is trying to use his (Reverend Al Sharpton’s) bigoted comment for political gain. I find it ever interesting how slick the Reverend Al Sharpton and his handlers can be. I suppose they subscribe to the notion that if one tells a lie long enough then others will begin believing the lie. Desperation from a political hack!

Al Sharpton is a liar. Through clever rhetorical maneuvering Reverend Al Sharpton lies without blinking an eye. Doest not the liar go to hell? One of the leading “Thou Shalt Nots” is bearing false witness, is it not? Why are so many people beguiled by smooth talk and cleverness?

As I understand it, in the “Mormon” faith (known officially as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), the only difference in the way “Mormons” view God is that apparently the Reverend Al Sharpton’s view of God says it’s OK to lie. That’s convenient.

Climate Change: Changing science to fit agendas

When I had the opportunity recently to become violently ill from a stomach virus I knew that it was the bad cake I had eaten the evening before. However, no one else became ill from eating the cake, just me but it had to be the cake, didn’t it? Well, no it didn’t.

We as human beings react to stimuli in an interesting and almost psychotic way. If we vomit, what we last ate must have caused it! What else could it have been?

The virus I had quietly incubated for days prior to my becoming ill was the real culprit. But I was sure it was the cake I had eaten the previous night. The way some view climate change is very similar to this reaction. The weather is changing and we look for the easiest explanation for it to satisfy our hunger for answers. We need immediate answers to everything, even if those answers are not really accurate.

If the weather is changing, it has to be caused by man! Doesn’t it? No it really does not. If we all take a step (or ten) back from the sky is falling mentality of Al Gore, we might be able to slow down enough to make an educated decision. We may actually see other possibilities.

Human beings thirst for answers. We have such an ingrained genetic desire to know everything, that even science and physics will alter itself to satisfy that need. Unanswered questions leave scientists with a feeling of inadequacy. Many scientists think they have answers to just about everything so naturally the remaining questions get sucked up into the vacuum of theory. For some less initiated into intellectual circles, these empirical notions can then twist into fact.

My point; not all of what we see is fact. Not all of what we know is true.
