AlGore is a known giver... The change in climate has effected his head. Al Gore Caught With Pants Down! Again! July 22, 2010 \| 05:11 PM PDT Filed under: Al Gore, Celebrity Scandal Al! You salty dog, you! Today, two more massage therapists stepped forward to say that they too were sexually harassed by the eco-friendly, towel dropping, former Vice President. Yikes! When he was in town for the 2007 Oscars, a source dishes that (a married) Al Gore was looking to score at the Beverly Hills Hotel: "The therapist claimed that when they were alone, Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her. He pointed at his erect penis and ordered her, 'Take care of THIS.'" Al Gore was sued by a Portland masseuse after he made "unwanted sexual contact" with her during a massage! Now he's been inappropriate with ladies in Tokyo, the North West and SoCal! Can't wait to hear what other travel destinations he exposed his Inconvenient Truth to unwanting eyes! POLL CLOSED Do you think Al Gore is guilty of sexually harassing his masseuses? RESULTS YES 71% NO 29%

George Soros paid big bucks to have Beck's show taken off the air. I've heard it was as much as a billion dollars. What do you think?

If Dems did this, Rs would be screaming bloody murder. Conservatives vote against military spending bill Nearly a dozen conservative senators took the unusual step Wednesday to vote against moving forward on a bill to fund military construction and veterans programs, vowing to oppose all spending measures until Democrats introduced a 2012 budget. The House-passed resolution cleared a procedural hurdle in the Senate on an 81-11 vote, allowing the military appropriations bill to proceed. But the 11 Republicans who cast no votes were forced to go to great lengths to explain themselves. “Obviously I have the greatest respect for our military, veterans and their families and want to ensure they have all appropriate resources and are given every benefit our country has promised them. They are patriots, and we owe them a great debt of gratitude for their work to protect and provide security for our country,” Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said in a statement. “Unbelievably, it has been 805 days since a budget has been passed in the Senate,” he said, “and we absolutely should not be considering any bill to spend federal dollars until we have done the basic job of deciding what appropriate spending levels for the year should be.” In addition to Corker, GOP Sens. John Cornyn (Texas), Jim DeMint (S.C.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Ron Johnson (Wisc.), Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Pat Toomey (Pa.) and David Vitter (La.) voted no. Sessions, the top Republican on the Budget Committee, lamented on the Senate floor that Democrats were moving to an appropriations measure without having presented a budget. Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) unveiled details of his spending blueprint this week but has not formally introduced the plan. “How can we protect the military from unwise cuts if spending plans aren’t made public? The only area of government significantly cut in the unseen Democrat budget appears to be the Pentagon,” Sessions said. “If this is the plan from the Democrat majority, it should be made public and it should be debated.” Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) moved to the military bill after Senate Republicans filibustered his nonbinding resolution that calls on millionaires to pay more in taxes to help draw down the nation’s debt. The Sense of the Senate resolution fell nine votes short of the 60 needed to proceed. Democratic Sens. Ben Nelson (Neb.) and Mark Pryor (Ark.) joined all Republicans in voting no. politico.com
