Gore has his own "Inconvenient Truth"

File this under “Good enough for me, but not for thee”, which is typical of the left:

As former Vice President Al Gore’s documentary on global warming fears debuts today, a new video from the Competitive Enterprise Institute tracks Gore’s own “carbon footprint.” CEI’s 70-second video points out that Gore himself is a big user of the hydrocarbon fuels that produce carbon dioxide when combusted.

Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” asks, “Are you willing to change the way you live?” The Gore documentary and new book of the same name go on to suggest ways that people can reduce their carbon footprint, yet Mr. Gore has clearly not taken his own message to heart. He even says in the documentary that he has given his global warming Power Point slide show more than 1,000 times all around the world.

The CEI video, which may be viewed at: http://streams.cei.org/, includes footage of Gore and his constant air travel with two CO2 meters running at the bottom of the page that compare Gore’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with those of an average person.

“All the evidence suggests that Mr. Gore is an elitist who passionately believes that the people of the world must drastically reduce their energy use but that it doesn’t apply to him,” said Myron Ebell, CEI’s director of energy and global warming policy and the creator of the video.

But hey, at least he walked to his movie’s premiere, right? That short jaunt should offset the tons of fuel he burns while jetsetting across the world to protest his country’s consumption of…fossil fuels?

"bin Laden: Moussaoui Not Linked to 9/11"

For those of you on the left, 9/11 refers to Sept. 11, 2001, which was a day that 3,000+ innocent Americans were slaughtered on our own soil by Islamic terrorists. Feel free to Google it, if need be.

Anywho, from the AP:

Osama bin Laden purportedly said in an audio tape Tuesday that Zacarias Moussaoui – the only person convicted in the U.S. for the Sept. 11 attacks – had nothing to do with the operation.

“He had no connection at all with Sept. 11,” the speaker, claiming to be bin Laden, said in the tape posted on the Internet.

“I am the one in charge of the 19 brothers and I never assigned brother Zacarias to be with them in that mission,” he said, referring to the 19 hijackers.

Two observations:

1. Shortly after 9/11, the Taliban and bin Laden both claimed that OBL didn’t have anything to do with the attacks. OBL praised them, but said he wasn’t involved. Shortly thereafter, he admitted that he was. An Islamic terrorist…a liar? Who knew??

2. In light of the aforementioned lie (and scores of other lies told by OBL and other al Qaeda camelhumpers), are we to take the madman (for those of you on the left, that would be bin Laden and not George Bush) at his word? Because it would make the administration look bad for convicting the wrong guy, the left may be tempted to take OBL’s word for it. However, you’ll have to forgive me for reflexively dismissing anything that the filthy animal (for those of you on the left, that would be bin Laden and not George Bush) has to say.

Quote of the day

Hat tip to resident commenter Lee for bringing this to my attention. Observe:

Reba McEntire, hosting the show for an eighth time, also took a shot at country music’s newest outlaws, the Dixie Chicks.

“I don’t know why I was so nervous about hosting this show this year,” she said. “If the Dixie Chicks can sing with their foot in their mouths, surely I can host this sucker.”

Careful, Reba! The Ditzy Twits might consider you too “uncool” for not “getting it” and may not want their little-sold CD to be in the same CD player as your CD’s!
