Moments after the Nobel Peace Prize committee turned its sights on the battle against global warming by bestowing the 2007 award upon former US vice president Al Gore, George W. Bush moved in to steal it.
"I'm the disseminator," claimed Bush, followed by a weak, disbelieving laugh.
In a shocking turn of events, Mr. Bush's legal team filed papers to dispute the Norwegian Nobel committee's claims that Mr. Gore's efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change were sound reasons to give him (and the IPCC) the coveted prize instead of giving it to Mr. Bush.
Bush reiterated his position: "Al Gore may be the single individual who they say has done the most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted to combat climate change, but - heck, I'm the disseminator and I'm confident that history will cement in the minds of all future human peoples that I, George Dubya, and not Al Gore, deserved the Nobel prize."
Congratulations to Al Gore!

Good snark. I guess the SCOTUS would vote 5-4 also that Bush should get the award as well.
All said, I'm pleased for Gore and the ICCP. It's also good for the environmental activists who have noticed this ongoing concern eons ago.
All this second hand smoke crap is getting on my nerves! Today our local big mall, Carousel Center, banned smoking on it's grounds. Bar and restaurants did a few years ago.....ATTACK OF THE PC POLICE! uGGH! Sorry folks but I've never heard of someone dying directly from second hand smoke; and if you want to get real knit-picky what about the garbage smoke that is released into our air from places like Bristol Myers in Syracuse and thousands of other industrial sites in this country. Why don't we ever hear about the effect those have on health and how many people have died directly as a result? I suppose that's not harmful. Bottom line, people have smoked since the beginning of time and always will but policians conveniently demonize it so they can tax the hell out it. By the way, where's the ACLU on this one?
Second, what's up with this rapidly spreading and very deadly strain of staff infection? Pretty creepy if you ask me. I heard on the news it's been around for 10-15 years and kills more people than AIDS in the US every year.....????(source, a local doctor interviewed in Syracuse..Gilroy I think her name was). If that's the case why am I just now hearing about this? Whose agenda does it fit to keep it quiet while we hear about AIDS everyday? Kinda weird.
Last, this treaty being discussed in the Senate, giving the UN control over waterways and the ability to "levy fees"....or should we call it what it is, tax our country. I'll make a statement here and I believe 99% of America is with me on this.....I AM A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES, not some convuluted global community. I have no allegiance to any government other than the United States and I sure as heck hope our politicians feel the same way; OR AT LEAST START ACTING LIKE IT.
Question of the day: Why was Scooter Libby's sentence commuted and not our 2 border patrol agents who are in jail for doing their jobs? Can Pres Bush answer that tough question? Folks, you may not always agree with my views, I know the smoking one is not popular; but I really don't care. I am informed about things and even if a disagreement with my views causes someone to look further beyond the surface level bullcrap we are fed everyday, that's a good thing in my book.
Out.
