"A robust and portly Al Gore stands in front of the  Live Earth's seven point pledge; a pledge he knows he never has to live by because not one single MSM outlet will ever show his hypocracy where the environment is concerned.

Mr. Gore was overheard shouting "I like tater tots!" as he signed the pledge.

World famous fear merchant

World famous fear merchant Al Gore, asks other people to do more about a problem that doesn't exist. (Does anyone out there really believe that he's not running for President?)

President Gore?

"Does anyone out there really believe that he's not running for President?"

That would be a resounding HELL NO!  Of course he's running.  He's being a smart bastard and getting TONS of funding from all kinds of groups that he wouldn't be able to had he announced his candidacy.  The MSSM knows this and are throwing wads of cash and time at him.  Smart, but WE are smarter.

I hope he does.  I wanna see

I hope he does.  I wanna see him get ripped to shreads over his Globaloney hoax.

We're supposed to believe that the bands playing for Live Earth are all doing this from the goodness of their hearts.  In reality they wouldn't be there if there wasn't $$$ in it for them.

Just like other liberals, they don't mind being generous with other people's money.

This isn't costing them even one thin dime.  If they really believed this warming crap they'd be doing all of this at their own expense. 

I remember George Harrison's concert for the benefit of Bangladesh.  It had mega-musicians including George Harrison and Eric Clapton plus Ringo etc.  No one received a penny from that concert.  All, and that includes all, monies from ticket sales went to helping the starving in Bangladesh.  Everything in support of that concert was donated by someone inlcuding the venue, the recording, and the LPs (yes it was that long ago).

Who knows how much the starving in Bangladesh were actually helped but the point I'm making is that those musicians put their money where their mouths were!

These musicians are doing it for prestige and brownie points so they can say they helped to fight warming.

Also, some people are saying that Al's son is all grown up, but wasn't he arrested the first time when he was like 20?  And then a few more times after that?  Seems like Al hasn't been being a good parent for a while now...perhaps the MSM should hammer that point home a little bit.

And . . . the seven points ar

And . . . the seven points are:

  • Demand that my country join an international treaty within the next two years that cuts global warming pollution by 90 percent in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth.
  • Take personal action to help solve the climate crises by reducing my own C02 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become “carbon neutral”.
  • Fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the C02.
  • Work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation.
  • Fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal.
  • Plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests.
  • Buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crises and building a sustainable, just and prosperous world for the 21st century.

Take personal action to help solve the climate crises by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become "carbon neutral".

When drawing up a contract, always leave yourself loopholes.

I don't really understand why

I don't really understand why he is insisting we solve his and his buddies' problem.  Al Gore and the rest of the 5% of the population own 70% of the personal wealth of the country, they consume half of all the residential electricity (or approx. the entire electrical output of India) and who knows how much jet fuel and natural gas. 

My reponse to Al is get off the electric grid, stop flying in private jets and tell your buddies to do the same.  This results in an immediate 50% reduction in energy consumption of the country: Problem solved.
