Gore: Warming more serious than terrorism

Al Gore recently took time out of his busy day to remind America how lucky we are that he’s not president:

“What changed in the US with hurricane Katrina was a feeling that we have entered a period of consequences and that bitter cup will be offered to us again and again until we exert our moral authority and respond appropriately,” he says. “I don’t want to diminish the threat of terrorism at all, it is extremely serious, but on a long-term global basis, global warming is the most serious problem we are facing.”

Al? You there, buddy? Pay very close attention.

Let’s assume, just for a moment, that “global warming” is real, and it is a man-made phenomenon. U.S.-style global warming looks like this:

Yay!

Al-Qaeda-style global warming looks like this:


Boo!

Comprende?

VodkaPundit nails it: ‘Boobs and bombs’

Steven Green of VodkaPundit points out a story in the Sacramento Bee:

Mendocino County women who have been baring their breasts at various venues to protest the war in Iraq are in Sacramento federal court seeking an order prohibiting the California Highway Patrol from arresting them during a planned noon demonstration Monday at the Capitol.The women’s group, Breasts Not Bombs, is suing CHP Commissioner Mike Brown and two of his officers over a warning that if the women demonstrate while topless, they will be arrested and charged with indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.

And now for some VodkaPunditry:

Seriously, though, the police need to cool it - and the women need a buy a clue. If they wonder why a misogynist culture wants to blow up Americans, maybe someday they’ll understand that protests like these are part of the reason.Me, I’m a big fan of breasts. Which is why the answer is and must be “boobs and bombs.”

Amen.

Cindy, don’t tease me like that!

She’s gonna have a “die-in.”

“I’ll be laying down and not getting up,” Sheehan said to a small crowd of protesters.

Where have I heard that before?

Maybe Cindy Sheehan isn’t so bad after all

Expect to see a lot less of Cindy Sheehan after this little episode:

Cindy Sheehan, who became the face of anti-war sentiment after her son died in Iraq, urged foes of the war to thwart Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s political aspirations unless the New York Democrat opposes the conflict. 

“I believe that any candidate who supports the war should not receive our support,” Sheehan said Tuesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “It doesn’t matter if they’re Senator Clinton or whoever.”

“After she met with me, she said she has to make sure our sons didn’t die in vain,” Sheehan said. “That is a totally Republican talking point.”

Bye, Cindy. It’s been fun. Say hello to the Secret Service for me.


Spike Lee claims Bush blew up NOLA levees

I think this qualifies as the incoherent ramblings of a crazy man:

Spike Lee: “Exactly. It’s not far-fetched. And also I would like to say it’s not necessarily blow it up. But, the residents of that ward, they believe it, there was a Hurricane Betsy in ‘65, the same that happened where a choice had to be made, one neighborhood got to save another neighborhood and flood another ‘hood, flood another neighborhood.

Lee: “Let me ask you a question: Do you think that election in 2000 was fair? You don’t think that was rigged?” [audience applause]

Martin: “It’s not a question of not being fair, it’s a question of-”

Lee: “If they can rig an election, they can do anything!”

When asked about the levee conspiracy theory, which apparently has gained credence among some New Orleans blacks, Mr. Lee said that “it’s not too far-fetched to think that, look, we got a bunch of poor black people here. We got to save these other neighborhoods. What we got to do, dump this in this ward, boom. I believe it.”

And when interviewer Daryn Kagan asked whether Mr. Lee really believed that theory, the director replied: “I don’t put anything past the United States government.”

Then again, what do you expect from a Knicks fan?

Zogby slams DeLay as Zionist conspirator

James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute has a column out this week. In it, he attacks Tom DeLay for his non-support of the Palestinians:

It goes without saying that Arab Americans and those concerned with Middle East peace will shed no tears over DeLay’s fall from grace. The Congressman has long been a fierce opponent of all things Palestinian and Arab. In the 1990s he opposed President Clinton’s proposal to provide aid request to the West Bank and Gaza. 

So far, so good. Back to Zogby, who just happens to be a member of the DNC Executive Committee:

When President Bush proposed $20 million to support Palestinians elections, DeLay reprogrammed the money to pay an Israeli utility bill. He even forced humiliating conditions on President Bush’s recent aid designed to strengthen Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. 

Those humiliating conditions included completely unreasonable elements like “quit buying brand-new Audis while your people starve” and “stop blowing up buses.” Let’s hear again from Zogby:

De Lay, who once called himself “an Israeli of the heart,” also rejected President Bush’s support of a Palestinian state, calling it a “sovereign state of terrorists,” and he even denied that there is any such thing as “occupied territory.” 

How dare Tom DeLay suggest that the Palestinians are not peace-loving people?
