The Reverand Albertus Gore of the Devine Church of Global Warming, Catastrophic Climate Change and No Controling Authority has won (along with his council of preachers the IPCC) the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007.  Oh. Good. Grief.

Al Gore is the hero of the left and progressives, and the bitter enemy of the Hillary for Prez Camp because he would siphon votes from her should he decide to get in the race for Prez (there is a draft Gore committee out there you know).  Al Gore, former Vice President, winner of an Academy Award for the Best Documentary Science Fiction.  Al Gore, collector of tens of thousands of dollars from Buddist Monks sworn to poverty (neat trick that).  Al Gore, Clown Prince of Chads and now annointed of the Nobel Committee.

Any Fool with a lick of sense will know that the Nobel Committee is once again using the power of the award to make a political point just as they did by skewering Bush 43 by giving the award to his verbal (and banal) critic Jimmah Cahtah. 

Alfred Nobel established prizes for 5 catagories in his will when he left his substantial fortune to the formulation of the Norwegian Nobel Committee which awards the prize.  In his will, Nobel stated that the prize should go to "the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."  No one in their right mind could possibly think that Gore qualifies, ahh, but you see, that's not the point.

The point, dear reader, is the beatification of on Albert Gore, tireless crusader for pseudo-science and popularizer of lies to foster a "larger truth."  The way to sainthood for, as I like to call him Owlgore, has a couple of purposes, one to "reward" him for having had the 2000 election "stolen" (it wasn't) and two because he is such a force for bad science; the antithesis of what Alfred Nobel Stood for. 

You notice that Owlgore didn't win the prize for physics, or chemistry don't you?  Well, that's because his film and his book (Earth In The Balance) have nothing to do with science, they have to do with a political point designed to curb a powerhouse of an economy (ours) and to establish people like Owlgore as figureheads in the movement for world domination.  I doubt that even Gore realizes that his manipulation of the facts is being manipulated by others to gain political power.  You will also notice that the biggest proponents of the Global Warming scare are also the biggest hippocrites when it comes to establishing their "carbon footprint."  Gore burns countless tons of fuel every month flying around in a private jet preaching don't fly around in private jets, buy smaller cars, live more frugally, don't eat meat, eat all your veggies, wash behind your ears, be sure and wear clean underwear in case you have an accident and have to go to the emergency room, don't sing at the table and smile when Aunt Gertrude pinches your cheeks. Oh, wait, I sort of got carried away!  But, you get the idea.  Ted Kennedy preaches alternate forms of energy but recoils in horror at the thought of wind turbans in his view from Martha's Vineyard. Gore promoted the world concerts for global warming and collectively burned more carbon and established a bigger "carbon footprint" then I probably have in my lifetime. 

The Nobel Committee deserves our condemnation and our opprobrium for their choice of awardees.  They have trashed a grand idea by making it political.\

2007 marks the first time the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for a reason wholly unconnected to stopping war. Claims that climate change will cause violent conflicts are absurd on their face. People are entitled to think that man-made climate change is important, but that doesn’t make it a peace issue.

Democrats like to say that they were swept into office by a voting populace that was disgusted with the war and that they had a "mandate" to end the war.  Their pitiful attempts at that showed how poorly they understood the electorate.  Their ratings have plummeted to the lowest levels since measurements began.  The truth of the matter is, that the Democrat Party faultlessly convinced America that there was a "Culture of Corruption." in Washington and that it bore the name of Republicans.  I say faultlessly because their deception and their two-facedness was flawlessly excuted, with brilliance and a panache you don't expect from life long politicians. 

So, here we are today with the most Corrupt of the Corrupt.  In today's Houston Examiner on their website Examiner.com they've posted an editorial "Stop Their Pay, Send Them Home." Of particular note is this:

"Here's how the Democrats “drained the swamp” and ended the Republicans’ “culture of corruption” on Capitol Hill: Roll Call recently reported that three top Democrats on the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee got more than $100 million in earmarks for clients of the PMA Group, an Arlington-based lobbying shop run by their former chiefs of staff.

The earmark recipients coincidentally (we are supposed to believe) donated $542,350 during the first half of this year to the ethically challenged trio — Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., and Rep. Peter Visclosky, D-Ind. This cozy arrangement is apparently OK under the House’s new ethics rules. “Unless you can demonstrate a quid pro quo, it’s hard to prove campaign contributions were made to yield an earmark,” Steve Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, told The Examiner."

But that is the least of congressional problems.  Tennessee Republican Zack Wamp alleges that the Republicans are not getting their "fair share" of earmarks under an unwritten agreement calling for a 60/40 split between the Majority and Minority Party.  Yes boy's and girls, there is enough corruption going around to make a raw sewage plant smell like a dozen roses.  Republicans and Democrats are alike.  Taking our money under dubious conditions and spending it in ways that assures their re-election because they get to brag that they "brought home the bacon."  Culture of Corruption!  A bi-partisan term if there ever was one and an excellent argument for throwing all of the bastards out.
