THIS WEEK (ABC): Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio; actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

Leonardo DiCaprio???

Hollywood "stars" are legends in their own minds - they think they have "the foremost opinion" on most any topic when they become rich and famous. Then they use their soapbox to "preach" to all the little people, which they believe are stupid and uninformed.

If he was alive today, I imagine Curly Howard of the Three Stooges giving his take on things in our time...

"Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!"

DiCaprio is pushing his new greenie "documentary," The 11th Hour, which particularly trashes the timber industry in Canada for some reason.  It features folks like Mikhail Gorbachev and "A look at the state of the global environment including visionary and practical solutions for restoring the planet's ecosystems."  You can guess the nature of those "practical solutions."

No mention of the fraudulent temperature data being exposed this week in two separate incidents.  That would be too... inconvenient.

to "revise and extend" an old truth

in descending order of truthfullness, there are:

• lies,
• damned lies,
• statistics,
• presentation graphics,
• global warming "science"
• leftist/ecofreak documentaries
