NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER, PRESIDENT AL GORE!!!
:banana: :banana: :banana:
Call me a dreamer. So what. Gotta dream big if you’re going to dream.
Today I’m wishing I was off work so I could go to the airport and throw rocks at the Chimpmobile. Chimpy is in town this morning for a lunch to raise money for his Repig butt-buddies. $25,000 a plate.
:fu:
If anything happens, I was at work. I have witnesses. ๐
And WTF is up with the AAR feed? I lost Randi about ten times last night staying at work for overtime (nice interview with Naomi Klein, what I could hear of it), and the Young Turds have gone south three times already this morning. Maybe I finally get to listen to the John Fogerty CD today.
(CNN) — Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their work to raise awareness about global warming.
Gore said he was “deeply honored,” adding that “the climate crisis is not a political issue it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity,” according to a written statement.
The former vice president said he would donate his half of the $1.5 million prize to The Alliance for Climate Protection, a U.S. organization founded by Gore that aims to persuade people to cut emissions and reduce global warming.
I feel that there is a slight possibility that Ann Coulter is a performance artist that will burst out laughing and tell everyone how she fooled the media for years. But the key to good performance art is to let clues out as to the game being played. I see some conspiratorial clues:
1. Recently Coulter is reported dating a much older man with plenty of money and not much taste (or bad eyesight) around the streets of NYC.
2. Within the past few days Coulter says on TV that “Jews can be made more perfect”. The Today Show has a story on it this morning.
3.In the great 1950’s movie “Some Like it Hot”, the wealthy Joe E. Brown, when told by cross-dressing Jack Lemmon that he is not a woman, says what classic movie-ending line?
It all ties together if you can answer that last question.
Coultergeist is trying to tell us something.
I support the Draft Gore movement but still wonder if it’s a good idea. He’ll have so many obstacles and the Repugs will surely not help one iota. But they’ll be like that for anyone I spose. Although, if we get Gore past all the voting bullshit(see, he’ll have to deal with stolen elections again) the world may like us again and we would be able to regain our allies. I could see why he wouldn’t want to put himself through that again. Not to mention the level of nastiness is much higher now than it was in 2000.
Kristapea, I am so bad , I have to “LEARN” to put up link… when I do talk/write on something. :smack: Sorry, I have been lectured at before regarding this. :no: :::
It seems that if you open up enough frequency channels and make the download operate in parallel then you can get huge improvements in speed. However, the problem is that since the spectrum is shared by other users, this is not practical and if implemented this would lead to huge cross-talk problems. In other words, there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. The Koreans probably made a nifty science project.
andy aka Aquaman, that is why I feel so betrayed. I was told and swore ( in the beginning of 80’s) that “the speed” would only get quicker. I dealt with Administration’s FIRST PC’s then…and all was quick. These were friends Com Sci Guys and one ComSciGal — not me. I just played D&D ๐ Then I went away for 20 some years.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday that Turkey would not be deterred by the possible diplomatic consequences if it decides to stage a cross-border offensive into Iraq against Kurdish rebels.
“If such an option is chosen, whatever its price, it will be paid,” Erdogan told reporters in response to a question about the international repercussions of such a decision, which would strain ties with the United States and Iraq.
Mychal Bell, the teen at the center of the case of six black students charged with beating a white student in Jena, La., was back in jail Thursday night.
La Salle Parish Judge J.P. Mauffrey sentenced Bell to a secure juvenile facility for 18 months after violating his probation on previous convictions of of simple battery and criminal destruction of property, said Carol Powell Lexing, one of his attorneys.
Bell, 17, was convicted earlier this year on a simple battery charge and for property damage in cases unrelated to a Dec. 6, 2006 beating of high school student.
It may not be the Cold War again, but U.S.-Russian relations are getting chilly.
Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates to his residence outside Moscow today by making them wait 40 minutes and then delivering a stern lecture before a room full of reporters.
Putin mocked U.S. plans to build a missile defense system in Eastern Europe and suggested Russia may pull out of a key arms control treaty.
kristapea- I don’t want to rain on your parade even tho it’s a friday but I think Marc summed it up best on Rachael’s show tuesday- that the rethugs are just looking for efficient ways for the poor and elderly to die once all their money is gone.

WASHINGTON (CNN) รขโฌโ A source involved in Gore’s past political runs told CNN that he definitely has the ambition to use the peace prize as a springboard to run for president.
But he will not run, because he won’t take on the political machine assembled by Sen. Hillary Clinton, said the source. If the senator from New York had faltered at all, Gore would take a serious look at entering the race, the source said. But Gore has calculated that Clinton is unstoppable, according to the source.
Gore repeatedly denied he has any plans to run again, but this week a group of grass-roots Democrats calling themselves “Draft Gore” took out a full-page ad in The New York Times in a bid to change his mind.
If it is not possible to get the tens of millions of people into the streets to put and end to this ideology then we can maybe see why the Germans who did nothing about Hitler were called the Good Germans and why fascist states once established have for the most part only been ended by a war which they LOST .. better hone up on your Chinese and/or Russian. :reaper: :reaper:
The Germans however didn’t have much of a domestic oil or agricultural chemical industry either.. Remember what the power of two did. :omg:
One of the problems with meddling in the affairs of counties in the middle east are the countries directly north of most of them.. Vladimir and Hu might decide to take sides .
Their taking sides and not on our side might just end this insanity a bit earlier.
I doubt that many of the IDIOT MORONS these days have any comprehension of what could possibly happen to them… I somewhat doubt the bright flash loud noise scenario but if we got our oil supplies completely cut off just as we go into winter the immobile freezing IDIOT MORONS might be more willing to do something. :crap: :fustrate: :fustrate: :paranoid:
I wonder if Heartman has any idea of the physiological effect of his your are screwed babble on the people who are just hanging on ..or perhaps just fell off the end.. They don’t have the thirty years his naive babble will require to turn this mess around by becoming “politically active” . Most of them just plain no longer exist as far as the political spectrum is concerted. They are conveniently swept under the carpet .. They needed something to happen two to four years ago not in 2012. .. maybe .. perhaps… :yuck: :crap: :reaper: :reaper:
i stayed up till they announced the prize..when they said it was Al Gore, i rejoiced!! :banana: :banana: :nixon: :yippee: :pup: :love: :alc: :40:

A comprehensive global study of abortion has concluded that abortion rates are similar in countries where it is legal and those where it is not, suggesting that outlawing the procedure does little to deter women seeking it.
Moreover, the researchers found that abortion was safe in countries where it was legal, but dangerous in countries where it was outlawed and performed clandestinely. Globally, abortion accounts for 13 percent of womenรขโฌโขs deaths during pregnancy and childbirth, and there are 31 abortions for every 100 live births, the study said.
snip.รขโฌย
The data also suggested that the best way to reduce abortion rates was not to make abortion illegal but to make contraception more widely available, said Sharon Camp, chief executive of the Guttmacher Institute.
Crime and aborted children are both related to availability of good jobs. Poor people can not afford children or contraceptives or in many cases even the cost of transportation to where free contraceptives might be available.. However, it sounded like we might have a population explosion without abortion.
Sue P you are right the Reich is all about control whether it be directly by the police, discrimination, disenfranchisement or by the disinformation network they have set up.
Most super markets have a zero tolerance policy on shop lifting so stealing food for your survival can get you a trip to court which you also can not afford but seldom a trip to the jail where they might feed you. :reaper: :reaper:
Enjoying Gore’s win here. I don’t know about drafting him, though I did sign the petition. I hope he can get the nominee to show some guts in the campaign and not be over-consulted into mediocrity like he was.
BTW, any NYC-area folks going to Comix? I’ve been prepping with the podcasts and Seder video.
Okay…it was a pleasure for me this morning to take the old photo off the refrigerator and tell my 10-year-old that the guy he is pictured with won the Nobel Peace Prize! Back in 2002, Gore slipped quietly into a nearby town for a labor fundraiser I attended. There weren’t more than a couple of hundred people there and I was able to snag him for a photo with my Kindergarten. Since Gore was rather obscure in those days, it was hard to convince my son that he’d had his picture taken with “the real President.” But I promised him that someday he would be proud of that snapshot. Now, pictured with an Academy Award, Grammy, Nobel Peace Prize and U.S. presidential race winner, he is basking in reflected glory.
It just makes me hopeful that the guy who got kicked to the curb is back on top. He is representative of so many other folks trying to do the right thing despite smears, threats and reversals of fortune. May karma come around with rewards for all of them and consequences for all the deceivers and haters out there.

Of course, the truth of these findings has been apparent to everyone. What really drives the wingnuts is a desire to control sex and/or women.
Crime and aborted children are both related to availability of good jobs.
