"He played on our fears!!!!"

Nobel Prize for Algore?  You betcha... just set it up there in the cabinet next to the Oscar. No matter how big a failure a liberal may be, the left has endless ways to soothe the rejection.

Unable to carry his home state in 2000, the man who invented the internet wasn't content to rest on such laurels; he turned  gadfly, bummed around, gained 30 pounds, grew a beard, for some reason was hired to "teach" journalism, started a cable network (anyone remember Current TV?) then... the epiphany!!

He turned green.... joining the the last sliver of the political spectrum that would forgive all, support any half-baked idea, as long as you recycle.

But he soon discovered that thousands of enviro-moonbats from Green Peace to PETA to the Sierra Club made for very a crowded field; almost impossible to individual face time.

He called on Hollywood.

A natural nexus, the two embraced like Ryan and Allie in "Love Story" which we all know was based on Algore and The Tipster.

Hollywood deals entirely in fiction and revisionist history and has a visceral need (due to the colossal level of insecurity exhibited by everyone in the movie biz) to make up awards and give them to each other throughout the year.

Now, that was the garage Algore desperately sought for his SUV.

Thus, "An Inconvenient Truth" was born, courtesy of the folks who brought you "preaching to the choir."

Gore was guaranteed a dog and pony show that would always attract crowds to a small venue... making any snake oil salesman look important and successful.

The audiences always respond enthusiastically, considering it's what leftists do best... sit still and absorb political brainwashing, especially via flickering images on a screen (see: Stone, Oliver.)

So.. that made it two down and one to go; then came The Distribution Deal--the mother's milk of Hollywood.

Suddenly it wasn't Algore and his slide show, it was A DOCUMENTARY in world-wide distribution. It has grossed $42 mil world-wide--not all that bad for a documentary; but then, remember the audience on which it relies and the unprecedented (and free) marketing of the docu done by the lapdog mainstream news media.

Now, seven or eight months after its release, it's up for two Oscars... one best docu and the other--another bit of perfect leftist marketing--best song,"I Need to Wake Up", by Melissa Etheridge; well-known woman, woman entertainer, woman leftist, woman lesbian, and woman, "er" father of her former "wife's" children--(with a Supporting Role nod to that paragon of paternal role-modeling, liver recipient and proprietor of a very damaged gene pool, David Crosby.)

The silly film and the sillier song will win both Oscars and we'll soon see the same marketing plan swing into effect for the Nobel Prize... an even more leftist award system which relies more on ones politics than ones merit.

Nobel Prize in one hand, Mr. Oscar in the other, Algore will stride the globe as the default leader of all US if not international eviro-whackos based on.... not a damned thing but marketing.

Is this a great country or what?.

Thanks alot, Simon. Much appreciated. I hope to set up a blog roll toghnit, and RDF feeds. Two big ones.I am trying to convince M. Simon to join with me, as my goal is a united drug reform community. I even offered him his own page, linked to from the front, which he can do whatever he wants with (as long as he leaves the right sidebar alone, which links the rest of the site), and his own subdomain (better than blogger.com, no?)It would be nice to have a real conservative voice at my site.But, in the end, it's up to him. There are personal issues to consider.I am just posting this here in case anyone has any objections or is highly in favor, they can let him know.Take care, and thanks again. Hope to hear from everyone over there!

Welll she's declawed, and the ciielngs are twelve feet high here, so that would be some feat. But actually she didn't seem to notice anything, though I wasn't here to witness her reaction. Whatever she felt, she had already forgotten about it by the time I got home.

I would have to say I don't think the NVA/VC thought the war was over when Saigon was overtaken.

Of course, we can get super technical about it and claim since no official declaration was made by Congress, but that's delving into semantics.

I also sported the Warn Terr medal, an open-ended award, and one in which mere membership rates the award. I suppose maybe it should be changed to A Police Action Against Terror medal, though, if we're choosing semantical arguments.

The Viet Nam war pretty much ended when the North took Saigon (you can argue about when the U.S. bailed on it, well before that). The Iraq war ended when we took Baghdad and the prior dictatorship took up residence in various holes. There is now a lively disagreement between various terrorist organizations and regimes trying to gain (or regain) control, in spite of the odds and with no interest whatsoever in either the best interests or the will of the people of Iraq. More accurate to call it a (yuck) Police Action or a Peacekeeping mission. No decent person wants Americans to die there - but a lot of us honestly feel that the risks beat the alternatives. The war is on Islamic terror; the main battle (for now) happens to be in Iraq.
BTW - I earned one of those open dated ribbons. God Bless us one and all, my friend.

Stating the actual war was over with a long time ago is sort of like saying the Vietnam War was over with long before its actual end.

[DontAskMe]

Yes. This is a great country. But, no thanks to Algore et al.

BTW - why do we let the Left make up the labels? Why is there even a debate about a "war" in Iraq? The actaul war ended a long time ago. This is us generously and courageously assisting a duly elected government against those various bullies and thugs (see Iran, al Qaeda, Saudi Arabia, etc) who would overthrow it by force... while protecting our own vital national interests.

Most of the people supporting the recent "anti-war" protests are fools or liars... most are not anti-war... simply anti-America and anti-Democracy... playing the press like a mouth organ.
