You may want to sit down for this one, McManBearPig lovers. The Gores are separating after 40 years of marriage.
I’ll go ahead and say up front here that The Tipperbot 3000 should receive a Nobel Peace Prize for being married to McManBearPig for four decades. Even if the guy DID invent the Internet and all.
According to an e-mail circulated among the couple’s associates on Tuesday, the Gores said it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.”
The Gores were telling friends they “grew apart” after 40 years of marriage and there was no affair involved, according to two longtime close associates and family friends, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
I, for one, am just floored by this news – you know, seeing as he and The Tipperbot 3000 had such amazing chemistry, as seen here in the 22-second mark of this video:
I know you all are going to miss seeing androids sucking face on national television as much as I will….
So, you know how a couple of posts down from this one, I told you about how Obama said, “At some point you’ve probably made enough money” and I wondered what maximum income limit he might have had in mind?
Well, that leads me to a second question, now that I’ve just read this news. Al and Tipper Gore have just added a $9 million dollar home to their list of properties. It’s “an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains.” It’s also got six fireplaces, five bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. It’s also got a gigantic carbon footprint, I’m guessing.
But here’s the question. Do Al and Tipper fit Obama’s definition of people who’ve probably made enough money?
Someone has GOT to ask him to clarify that statement.
According to this, “NASA and the state-run media knew about temperature data issues nearly three years ago…”
Weirdly enough, nothing was ever said about it back then. In fact, “all of (the) information regarding the accuracy and independence of NASA GISS data was directly communicated to a reporter from USA Today in August 2007.”
That reporter? He/She never published it.
I know – I’m shocked, too. I bet Al McManBearPig is equally as shocked.
On a brighter note, I went to get a new tag today for my huge monstrosity of an SUV, and I contemplated getting a vanity tag that says “GLBL WMG.” Because, you know, the people pushing this junk science can, well, suck it.
Looks like Al McManBearPig and pals are in good, mentally-stable company. Osama Bin Laden believes in global warming, so much so that he thinks it’s all America’s fault, of course. Or at least he says this, anyway. According to this article, Nutjob Bin Crazy has “called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.”
He blamed all of us dirty Americans for “hunger, desertification and floods across the globe, and called for “drastic solutions” to global warming, and “not solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change.” And then he called for a stop on using the American “dollar and get rid of it as soon as possible,” he said. “I know that this has great consequences and grave ramifications, but it is the only means to liberate humanity from slavery and dependence on America.”
Basically, Wackjob McGee is trying to have his message of murder and insanity reach past his Islamic militant cult following.
So, I’m wondering – will Nancy McBotox jump on this bandwagon? It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
This guy reminds me of a British version of my Grandaddy (God rest his wonderful, adorable soul). My Grandaddy was the kind of guy who didn’t give two craps what you thought about him and he spoke the truth. Always. Like, when I gained my undergraduate freshman 10 pounds, he looked at me on Christmas break and said, “You look kind of thick, girl.” I mean, this may be a bit offensive to some, but I actually appreciated the fact that he loved me enough to tell me the truth. And, I put the beer down just a bit that next semester as a result.
The truth is always a good thing. And it’s precisely what Godfrey Bloom, member of European Parliament is spouting here when talking about the absolute taxpayer-money-in-Gore’s-deep-pockets joke that is global warming.
He says what I’d like to say, really. Just in a highly entertaining “Benny Hill is soooo irritated” kind of way. Love.
I have a subscription to Rolling Stone magazine. I may not have it much longer, though, because I have become increasingly annoyed with them shoving leftist crap down my throat. Seriously, people. Can you not just stick to writing about the current status of ABBA and Disney’s teeny-bopper du jour, for crying out loud? Here’s the most recent cover I had the pleasure of looking at over coffee this morning:
Case in point: this article, titled, The Climate Killers: Meet the 17 polluters and deniers who are derailing efforts to curb global warming
It talks about the 17 most evil people that are not working alongside global warming fanatics to ultimately monitor, control, and tax every single freakin’ thing you do in life.
What a bunch of greedy bastards, right?
They all kind of remind me of this dude, actually – John Hirst, the head of the Met Office, who currently makes a bigger salary than the UK Prime Minister.
The top headlines on the Drudge Report read as follows:
Al Gore has got to be totally freaking out.
Speaking of Al Gore, this is an oldie but a goodie, and I hereby dedicate it to all of those craaazy guys and gals out there who still actually believe we puny little humans are affecting global climate change.
So, McManBearPig goes over to Copenhagen to act like he’s a scientist or something. You know, in addition to inventing the Internet and all.
He makes this blanket statement: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr Wieslav Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years,” The Times quoted Gore, as saying.
The problem is that Maslowski sort of called him out on the fact that he blatantly misquoted him. And that he would never say such a thing. His exact words: “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”
Nice work, McManBearPig. Way to dig your way out of that hole.
Oh, and it’s 13 right now in my Midwest city. Brrrrr. I’m just sayin.
I’m kidding. He didn’t do that. But he did manage to say how the emails were from TEN YEARS AGO – three times, to be exact. As if saying it three times would make it true.
Basically, McManBearPig didn’t read the emails at all. Because, the fact is that one was from just two months ago. Another was sent on November 12 – just a month ago. Ones from Tom Wigley are all from this year. Aaaand, Phil Jones’ infamous email urging other Climategate scientists to delete emails is from last year.
But McManBearPig just keeps spewing that they’re from ten years ago (while paraphrasing Shakespeare, of course, because we’d expect no less from such a scholarly pillar of smarts).
To paraphrase Shakespeare, it’s sound and fury signifying nothing. I haven’t read all the e-mails, but the most recent one is more than 10 years old. These private exchanges between these scientists do not in any way cause any question about the scientific consensus.
I think it’s been taken wildly out of context. The discussion you’re referring to was about two papers that two of these scientists felt shouldn’t be accepted as part of the IPCC report. Both of them, in fact, were included, referenced, and discussed. So an e-mail exchange more than 10 years ago including somebody’s opinion that a particular study isn’t any good is one thing, but the fact that the study ended up being included and discussed anyway is a more powerful comment on what the result of the scientific process really is.
These people are examining what they can or should do to deal with the P.R. dimensions of this, but where the scientific consensus is concerned, it’s completely unchanged. What we’re seeing is a set of changes worldwide that just make this discussion over 10-year-old e-mails kind of silly.
His time dimension includes flowers and poetry and incense, I’ve heard – with absolutely no sense of reality or, well, clocks.
You guys, there is the most nauseating article in Vanity Fair right now. It’s an article which sings the praises of Al Gore’s book Our Choice, and more specifically, of the POEM HE WROTE IN IT.
I’m sure he’ll be the next Pulitzer winner. There is absolutely no question in my mind that whatever awards are possible for Al Gore to win, he’ll win, because he has so many people snowed. In fact, I’m surprised that he hasn’t yet won a MTV music video award.
Wait. Has he? I could be wrong about that.
Anyway, allow me to share some of the adjectives the article’s author chooses to use about Al Gore and his poem: fresh, beautiful, evocative, disturbing, accomplished, nuanced, arresting, and my favorite – scientifically accurate. Isn’t that hilarious? Here is the poem in its entirety:
One thin September soon
A floating continent disappears
In midnight sun
Vapors rise as
Fever settles on an acid sea
Snow glides from the mountain
Ice fathers floods for a season
A hard rain comes quickly
Then dirt is parched
Kindling is placed in the forest
For the lightning’s celebration
The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools
I think Al might think he’s a shepherd. Shepherds are known the world over as inventors of the internet. I wasn’t sure if you knew that or not.
Meantime, the amount of CO2 being emitted at the Copenhagen meeting is equivalent to the daily amount of carbon dioxide produced by 30 of the world’s smaller countries.
I love George Will’s most recent article about the whole climate change hoax. In it, he breaks down what Obama intends to do in terms of reducing emissions.
He says, “Barack Obama, understanding the histrionics required in climate-change debates, promises that U.S. emissions in 2050 will be 83 percent below 2005 levels. If so, 2050 emissions will equal those in 1910, when there were 92 million Americans. But there will be 420 million Americans in 2050, so Obama’s promise means that per capita emissions then will be about what they were in 1875. That. Will. Not. Happen.”
Is it just me, or is anyone else just dumbfounded by the people who are still convinced that we need to take any action, drastic or otherwise, to make an impact on the climate? If there is one constant certainty, it’s the CLIMATE FREAKING CHANGES. It always has. As the article points out, “From millennia before the Medieval Warm Period (800 to 1300), through the Little Ice Age (1500 to 1850), and for millennia hence, climate change is always a 100 percent certainty. Skeptics doubt that the scientists’ models, which cannot explain the present, infallibly map the distant future.”
To add insult to the already injured alarmists, things in Denmark, where they already have a cap and trade plan in place, aren’t going so well. There’s apparently a big scandal brewing there which involves massive fraud in the “trading” part of cap and trade. And that’s because, as people with Actual Brains have realized forever, this whole hoax is nothing but a money-making venture for people like Al Gore and his ardent followers.
But, you know, let’s go ahead and have the big Copenhagen meeting and fly thousands of people in and pollute the skies and stuff. That seems like a good idea.
I kind of love these guys. They’re a group called We Are Change Chicago. Just this past weekend, they went into a Borders on State Street in Chicago while McManBearPig was doing one of his many “look at me, I invented the Internet” book signings, and you know what they did? They challenged him. They even screamed a little, which I thought was a bit overdue at this point, seeing as how Climategate is still not being duly covered by the MSM. And they did this protesting while simultaneously being yelled at by all the lemmings waiting in line to get their book signed by McManBearPig. Yep. I said lemmings.
Some of the transcript of what went down:
First up was Saad Ali. As he approached Gore, he peacefully and respectably asked, Sir, can you comment on the emails and documents that were hacked [ClimateGate] that reveal that the research was a fraud and that it was all manipulated? Gore, with an evil smirk, claimed that he never read them. By the look on his face and his stutter, it became quite clear that Gore was extremely uncomfortable with the question, so he quickly glared towards his security. The agents grabbed and assaulted Saad, escorting him away from Gore for merely asking a simple question. The press took notice and started filming and snapping pictures of what was going on. One of which appeared the next day in the Chicago Sun Times.
Following Saads confrontation, Sati Word, a member of WAC Chicago, questioned Gore on why the IPCC hasnt released any reports on sunspot activity. However, before he could get an answer from Gore, security grabbed Sati and escorted him out of the building.
A little while later, Anthony, an activist from We Are Change Ohio, approached Gore and handed him the petition of the 31,486 scientists who say that Global Warming is a complete hoax. Anthony asked, What do you think about the science behind this sir? Mr. Gore rolled his eyes, and security escorted him out of the building.
Steve (swizzlesteve), was the last activist to question Gore. Within seconds of asking, Any comments on ClimateGate? The emails that prove its a scam, a farce, that global warming is a joke, any comment? Mr. Gore is heard to utter a few uhhhhhhhs and security quickly steps in to remove him as well.
It’s a 6-minute video, but well worth the watch on a Friday. And, McManBearPig’s smugness is palpable. As is the huge SUV he takes off in at the end of the clip.
