More Election Results: Nobel Peace Prize

Al Gore has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth".

"I am Al Gore, I use to be the next president of the United States of America ..."

(The movie also received two Oscars, along with 20 other wins and four nominations.)

As Abraham Lincoln was famously quoted:

You can fool all of the people some of the time,
And you can fool some of the people all of the time,
But you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

There's something about this situation which is covered in the Lincoln statement.

If you love your planet...
If you love your children ...
You have to see this film!

The United Kingdom (The Brits ... "there you go again!") recently attempted to establish a mandatory showing of "An Inconvenient Truth" to students (as often as four times!) all through the commonwealth. Well, what's left of it. (In fact, this mandatory showing has also been imposed on some American Students.)

Unfortunately, some of the colonies aren't buying this.

IT WILL SHAKE YOU TO YOUR CORE!

"It's Clobbering Time!"

"This is really not a political issue, so much as a moral issue"

That attempt has been clobbered by a recent report from New Zealand, presenting 11 'inconvenient' actual untruths (see the link for details) which "strongly suggest" that the so-called documentary is politically biased, not evidence which can be supported by science. Specifically:

"... a High Court ruling in Britain has just found that the film is unfit for schools."

"The scientific consensus is that we are causing Global Warming."

For Gore, the timing (the report was released October 7, 2007 ... probably after the final voting was completed) sucks was very close to interfering with his award.

There are rumors that the director of the NZ "think tank" has asked that Gore's Academy Award be rescinded. This probably isn't going to happen, nor is his Nobel Prize likely to be rescinded.

NOTHING IS SCARRIER!

A list of all Nobel Peace Prize recipients also strongly suggests that this award, in recent years, has had little or nothing to do with the original intent of the prize, which was to be awarded to:
"the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

I'm not sure what a fraudulent documentary has to do with these criteria.

Are you?

BY FAR, THE MOST TERRIFYING FILM YOU WILL EVER SEE!

UPDATE: Monday, October 15, 2007
I'm not the only one who wonders "What has Al Gore done for World Peace?"

The former US Vice-President has already taken over from Michael Moore as the most sanctimonious lardbutt Yank on the planet. Can you imagine what he'll be like now that the Norwegian Nobel committee has given him the prize?
...
But there is a more fundamental objection to awarding Gore the peace prize that goes beyond issues of character. Climate change is a threat to the environment, not to "peace" and international order. The prize has gone to some sleazy recipients in the past, but at least you can make a case that their actions staved off bloodshed.

There's more, much more. Whatever you do, read the comments!

But as Whitefish likes to say: "That's nothing!"
