In an honor that could be misinterpreted as a slap in the face, a Los Angeles school district has named a new academy
after Al Gore -- the only problem is the school was built on toxic soil.
The Los Angeles Times reports that crews worked up to the Labor Day weekend to try to clean up the Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Sciences in the run-up to its Sept. 13 opening.
The $75.5 million facility was named after Gore, who has made bringing awareness to climate change a personal cause since leaving office, and environmental author Rachel Carson. The former vice president was never informed the school would bear his name.
An affront they say....Al Gore's entire life is an affront to the truth. Even if (and at this point its a big if) science truly supported the snake oil he sells this PREACHA MAN of the church of Global Warming schtick gets really freakin' old when you have to strain to hear him over the roar of his private jets or through the fence of his energy guzzling mansions.
We are given dire warnings to change the way we live or face environmental Armageddon from this 21st century Greenhouse Milli Vanilli and there is only one conclusion you can draw from any of it...Heidi Montag's breasts are more real than the threat of global warming
It's not even open and it's already the best school ever.
Heres a bunch of random thoughts in my head that, at the moment, I don't know how to convert into posts in and of themselves...so I'm laying them all out here...
Here are some budget neutral ways we can reduce the deficit....
1.Sell all of the unsold Obama memorabilia back to China
2. After forcing people to air the tires on their car everyday we can make the savings on gas taxable income
3. eBay the real birth certificate(s)
4. Take out an insurance policy against whats left of Obama's approval rating
5. If I had dime for every time a Democrat publicly dropped an F-bomb....
I think Obama should have a stash
I mean...why not? Right?
We should direct stimulus money to fund development of true "bridge to nowhere" so Obama's presidency can finally have a clear direction
We should also direct stimulus money to funding more "shovel ready" jobs after the Democrats get buried in November
We need to find a way to convert the pitch of Harry Reid's voice into electricity
or
When Sharon Angle defeats him he could begin promising career as a dog whistle
"I miss Janet Reno," or is it "I mister Janet Reno?"
The policy for admittance into the White House should mirror any policy the President decides to enforce on illegal immigration
Just imagine the how much better the "Recovery Summer" would've been if the signs promoting it cost $20K instead of $10K
Gay marriage is a big mess that really needs to be straightened out
Campaign: Probama
Election: Gobama
Media Appearances: Hobama
Socialism: Nobama
Falling approval rating: Blowbama
BP Oil Spill: Slowbama
Gay Marriage: Homobama
Illegal Immigration: Para bailar la Obamba!
Talking about him "like a dog": Ruh Rohbama
Isn't it time to change the term "bald faced lies" to "telling a load of Carville's?"
Having conquered "senile" I think Pelosi should start looking her age too
Biden would sound a lot smarter if we surgically fused his mouth to a kazoo
In a Labor Day address touting how the economy is moving in the right direction if you hold it up to a mirror Obama went off prompter for a second...
If he wants his critics to stop talking about him "like a dog" then he should stop lying like one.
Whats his batting average now for going off of the TOTUS reservation anyway? I'm pretty sure its a big fat , when is he going to learn to stick to the script before people start confusing him with Biden?
God did not create the universe, world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking argues in a new book that aims to banish a divine creator from physics.
Hawking says in his book "The Grand Design" that, given the existence of gravity, "the universe can and will create itself from nothing," according to an excerpt published Thursday in The Times of London.
"Spontaneous creation is the reason why there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist," he writes in the excerpt.
"It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper [fuse] and set the universe going," he writes.
I know hes supposed to be a genius and stuff so I'm afraid of saying something that might make me sound like I'm trying to act more intelligent than THE Steven Hawking...and stuff...but....
The black hole in his theory...
Where did the gravity come from?
How did absolutely nothing become something?
Did God create gravity? Is there some sort of cosmic loophole that Hawking is desperately trying to find so he can preclude God from eclipsing his own brilliance? What gives?
I didn't come up with this, but even in the bygone (thank God) days when I was less religious (Christian) I lived by the credo "I don't have enough faith to be atheist." As each day passes I do my best to strive toward a life worthy of His glory, and my belief in that line has become inexorably bound to my soul.
I mean no disrespect to Hawking. He is, after all, a Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a position once held by Sir Issac Newton himself. So nothing about his apparent atheism should actually be questioned since he's so freakin' brilliant...
Why do I suddenly feel like this blog has been way too hard on Obama?
Typically cautious Larry Sabato, head of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, is rocking the political world with a new "Crystal Ball" prediction: The GOP will win the House, making Ohio's John Boehner speaker, might get a 50-50 split in the Senate, and will pick up some eight new governors.
"2010 was always going to be a Republican year, in the midterm tradition," Sabato said in his latest prediction, issued Thursday. "But conditions have deteriorated badly for Democrats over the summer. The economy appears rotten, with little chance of a substantial comeback by November 2nd. Unemployment is very high, income growth sluggish, and public confidence quite low. The Democrats' self-proclaimed 'Recovery Summer' has become a term of derision, and to most voters—fair or not—it seems that President Obama has over-promised and under-delivered."
Amazingly, the title of this story is: Shock Prediction: GOP to Take House, Maybe Senate in 2010 Election... Sabato should start a business as a Vegas wing-man with a break even guarantee by betting on red AND black.
I'm still checking
So all I have to say about that is...what liberal media? This is a shock prediction? Do you know how many times I had to check the date on this story to make sure it wasn't written in 2008?
Every conservative in the country knew on January 21, 2009 that the GOP was going to take back the House at the very least. Liberals can't hide their crazy forever...and this case didn't hide it...ever!
Oh boy do I remember the lectures about how conservatives tried it their way and now it the Democrats turn. As if there was something new to be learned about spending money that doesn't actually exist.
And I don't mean donkey
What I really resent about these predictions is this sense of inevitability liberals have developed to explain away any rational reason their precious Democrats are about to be tossed on their asses.
Its not that they're doing a bad job, or that they brazenly admit their intent to defy the will of their constiuents...its just, through no fault of their own, "its just how these things work."
How about this for a shock prediction: Sabato's prediciton Dems win in 2010 activates electrodes attached to his nipples.
If people like Sabato want a reason why the Dems are poised to lose power they should put away the "crystal ball" and start reading tea leaves...
