Osama bin Laden Wins Nobel Peace Prize

By Texas Rainmaker on Weather/Environment

Well, it makes as much sense as this prediction:

<<< Former US vice president Al Gore is seen as a possible winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to save the planet from global warming, the head of the Oslo Peace Research Institute has said. >>>

His efforts to save the planet include (from the same article)…

<<< The former US vice president is currently criss-crossing the globe with his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth”, a hard-hitting rallying cry against global environmental catastrophe. >>>

Is he doing it on a bike? Hand-powered scooter? Electric glider?

Of course not, he’s “criss-crossing the globe” in “one of the most wasteful uses of fossil-based fuels imaginable,” a private jet.

Gore is the same guy that warned us that global warming was more dangerous than terrorism, while simultaneously maintaining a toxic waste dump on his own property.

At Sierra Club meetings, he advises Americans to conserve, then promptly leaves in a gas-guzzling Cadillac Escalade.

And while he “lectures Americans on excessive consumption,” he lives “in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.)… none of which use “green energy” offered by the local utility companies.

This is like saying Osama bin Laden is “saving the planet” from terrorism.

In addition to news of Gore’s lead in the polls, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in 2002 to a man who supports Palestinian terrorists and Nazis, so bin Laden could apparently win it also, for paying lip service to the “religion of peace” while terrorizing the world.

Apparently lip service to a cause is the more important attribute.
