"As for Gore.....the guy could cure cancer, make world peace, eliminate poverty and he'd still be a fucking loser to you because he's a stinkin' dem." Same guy who was humping tobacco while his sister was dying from lung cancer. Same guy who came to NY in 1988 and ran for president by running against al sharpton and as a right winger? Same guy whose wife was fighting free speech in the arts. Same guy who rolls his eyes in a debate and walks up to his opponent and hovers thus giving us bush in 2000. If the asshole hadnt hovered, he would have had a clear win. Even Chris Matthews says he voted for Bush in 2000 because of this among other reasons. And irony of ironies, i still voted for him in 2000 because of doubts i had about bush intellect but my son in law the commie voted for nadir, thus giving bush the hated one the election.

"As for Gore.....the guy could cure cancer, make world peace, eliminate poverty and he'd still be a fucking loser to you because he's a stinkin' dem." He's not alone. A whole bunch think (oxymoron) like that. But that could have serious consequences. Be an awful thing if he was that Messiah dude I won't recognize. There goes 4 acre feet of zin. If God had a name, what would it be (Al?) And would you call it to his face If you were faced with him in all his glory What would you ask if you had just one question And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah What if God was one of us Just a slob like one of us Just a Akl Gore on the bus Trying to make his way home If God had a face what would it look like And would you want to see If seeing meant that you would have to believe In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah What if God was one of us Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus Trying to make his way home He's trying to make his way home Back up to heaven all alone Nobody calling on the phone Except for the pope maybe in rome And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah What if god was one of us Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus Trying to make his way home Just trying to make his way home Like a holy rolling stone Back up to heaven all alone Just trying to make his way home Nobody calling on the phone Except for the pope maybe in rome Joan Osbourne If God Was One of Us

The Kyoto protocol is very bad for big business, petroleum in particular but its a concerted global effort to reduce emissions (of which we're now the only holdout). Are you more in favour of permitting further pollution for corporate gain or improving my atmosphere? The US Dept of Energy has published a list of carbon emissions due to fossil fuel consumption, year by year and country by country: census.gov If you compare at the numbers for 1997 and 2004, and compare the signers of Kyoto with the non-signers, you notice: Emissions worldwide increased 18.0%. Emissions from countries that signed the treaty increased 21.1%. Emissions from non-signers increased 10.0%. Emissions from the U.S. increased 6.6%. I submit you are confusing political posturing with action. Kyoto has always been used for political cover by most of its signers. Look, we're virtuous! We signed! Now leave us the f--- alone! Go yell at the big bad US!
