In honor of America's newest Nobel Prize Recipient:

A Tribute to Gore

Tooting my own horn, but I think It's relevant.

[John Semmens]

This was the second Nobel Peace prize awarded to a leading Democratic critic during Bush’s administration. The 2002 prize went to former President Jimmy Carter for his “masterful handling of the Iranian hostage crisis during his presidency.” In November of 1979, the new Iranian government under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini invaded the U.S. embassy and took over 60 Americans hostage for over 400 days. The Nobel committee commended Carter for “his patience under duress that enabled the crisis to be brought to a peaceful conclusion in January of 1981.”

In related news, former president Carter said that if he had it to do over, he wouldn’t have changed a single thing he did as president, citing his Nobel Prize as proof that he couldn’t possibly have done a better job.

The Nobel Peace Prize people made a mistake. They shouldn't give a prize for merely raising awareness about global warming, the should award the prize for actually doing something about it. A better choice would have been Mount Pinatubo. While Algore was spewing fear, Mount Pinatubo spewed enough ash and gases in 1991 to cool global temperature by 0.5C. If that's not enough - and I think it is - the committee should have realized that Pinatubo's eruption also wiped out hundreds of thousands of forested acres, thus saving that land from man's deliberate and foolish exploitation. Man will now be forced to develop a realistic alternatives to agricultural and forest products. Finally, the NPP committee's snub of Pinatubo may come back to haunt them when they need to make tactical use of such rapid cooling in the future. Pinatubo has many volcanic friends that take the committee's award to Algore as an insult. Is it really wise to piss off mother nature?

Wurlitzer Prize for Organic Circular Illogic

Oh, I like that one!!

I guess the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize is going to have to come with an asterisk, kind of like Barry Bonds' home run record. ;o)

This proves the Nobel isn’t so noble and not worth a glass of warm piss.

At least it comes with a million bucks.

Now Algore can pay that big electrical bill for running the AC in that gazillion square foot house (that none of the rest of us are supposed to have).

I love it!

Given some of the recent winners of this distinguished award, I'm not sure I would want it:
