Get back on task at work, goldbrick!
Get back on task at work, goldbrick!
My vacation days don't carry-over, so I have to use them or lose them. Three day weekend for me.
So you spend a day off posting on Letsrun? Pat yourself on the back for all of your fellow jerkoffs.

It's too bad that such a prestigous honor has become such a joke and a sham over the years. It does seem like a bunch of out of touch with reality leftists pat themsleves on the back after they decide Gore, Arafat, and Jimmy Carter get this honor that they don't deserve. It's a shame.
I can see why you would say Gore and Arafat, but Carter certainly deserved it.
What did Jimmy Carter do? I think he's well-intentioned, but he's just a sweet, naive, old man who doesn't understand the way the world really works economically, politically, etc.

He is a hypocrite, thats why i didn't vote for him and thats why i didn't vote for Kerry. I don't understand why people support someone who does a lot of talkin but not a lot of walkin.
So I suppose you also didn't vote for Bush, if you don't vote for hypocrites. I don't vote for hypocrites either and didn't vote for either of them.
Al Gore is somewhat of a hypocrite, but at least he buys green credits for the energy he does burn. He should just live with less energy though.

What did Bush get?
Bush managed to get the same ignorant people who voted for him to now hate everything he does, that is pretty impressive in my book.

eh? Carter negiotiated peace between Israel and Egypt. One of the most significant foreign policy coups in memory.

Really guys, it's not just the right-wingers here. Climatological studies don't support global-warming nearly as much as the left-wing. Sure we are polluting the environment and contributing to greenhouse gasses, but there isn't unanimous consent in the scientific community that this will cause out-of-control global warming. Looking at climate records for hundreds of thousands of years (through gases trapped in ice cores, lake sediment, tree rings, etc) we can clearly see that the earth has undergone huge climate fluctuations before humans could have had an impact. It is by no means certain that we are causing this rising temperature trend, it could feasibly just be a natural fluctuation.
Are you a climatologist? If not, how are you qualified to make that statement, when 99.9% of climatologists "support global warming" as you put it. As an evolutionary biologist who studies issues related to climate, I'm comfortable in saying I completely disagree with this statement. If you're a climatologist, I'd love to discuss the research on this with you.
I find it funny how folks know very little about the democrats they bash. Both Clinton and Gore were rather hawkish on Iraq and both strongly advocated for the Iraq Liberation Act that the Republicans in 2003 were fond of throwing around to justify the war in "Clinton would have done it" terms. I will definitely vote for Al Gore if he enters the democratic race because I am a liberal interventionist foreign-policy wise, hence my appreciation for Joe Biden, who the Republicans should fear mightily if he had any chance of winning the nomination.
What Repubs don't seem to understand is that those of us who claim the liberal interventionist lable were also in favor of doing something militarily about Iraq well before 9/11 with proper planning and proper execution, but didn't trust the little Bush who had previously belittled "nation-building" and whose party criticized our presence in Bosnia and Kosovo to do more than a ham-handed imperialist grab with oil riches rather than human rights in mind. It turns out the plan all along was just to put Chalabi in charge. We overthrew Saddam and then Bush decided against installing Chalabi since it would look bad. He then asked for plan B and was told there was no plan B. And there we are. Don't trust the Republican folks who criticized Clinton for "wagging the dog" when he bombed Afghanistan and who coddled dictators for decades without concern for human rights abuses.
Just killing time while I ice down my knee after my run. Then it's off to lunch at the local brew pub. Nice fall weather, good day for some stew and a stout (or two).
Carter's brain is dead, by the way, his body just hasn't realized it.
How did you know I was playing Halo 3?
Suck a dick dbag.

yeah, gee...just imagine if we had listened to Carter and lived with some discomfort (gas lines, OH MY! how will i get to the mall!) and broken OPEC in the 80s. just imagine how different the world and the middle east would be.
But then along comes ronnie raygun to suck up to the saudis and iraqis and to fund the fundies over there... now who's braindead?
I'll let your father service me after I take my dick out of his ass. Your daddy is kinky that way. I'd guess that the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
The Republicans are genius. They have figured out how to use the basic appeals of classwarfare and class resentment and using it to target liberals, but not corporate fatcats. It is brilliant stuff. Instead of criticizing whether or no global warming is real, use class-based attacks on Gore. It seems to me now class warfare is all about peopl ebeing afraid rich folks think they are smarter and better than them. It is ok to be rich, so long as you are nice to the rabble and "speak their language" and don't appear to be looking down on them.
It seems funny to me that all these folks who discount global warming are also the folks who, before looking at the evidence, were already against anything that might give an excuse to regulate private and corporate behavior in the name of the publc good. This seems eerily similar to the thought process behing objections to evolution - that a bunch of pointy-headed scientists and other "elites" don't know as much as me and my preacher! Nevermind that they have a pre-existing view that cannot co-exist with evolution and they had this view before they ever looked at the facts.
Republicans neatly combine the plitics of resentment formerly found in the Old Left(William Jennings Bryan, for example) with the politics of contempt formerly found in the Old Right (JP Morgan). If only we could leave resentment and contempt out of the picture, we might find some answers.
And, by the way, Gore was instrumental in legislation that enabled the internet that we know today.

Apparently you.
Condolences on the knee, then. Which pub? I'm doing the same since I also took the day off. I'm going to http://gabf.org/events/gabf/index.htm tonight and tomorrow.

He buys green credits from his own company, you dolt
To think, a veteran like Al Gore for once gets some respect. Rush Limbaugh and the GOP loaths the military and veterans.
