Let the plants scream as they die.

Famed climatologist Dr. Chick N. Little, known to be the primary author of the IPCC summary and AlGore's mentor, has her own theory about our warming atmosphere...

Can someone explain to me....,

Al Gore has been proven to be a pretty dim witted "fat" rich boy who never had an original idea in his head...zero credibility...why is he even being taken seriously...hes a fuckin moron!

JOM

This is one of the first truly funny satire pieces I've seen in a while. Great job.

And JoM. Al Gore isn't stupid. Most of the people who believe strongly in human agency in Global Warming aren't stupid either. One of the great mysteries of human nature is that people who are otherwise relatively intelligent can believe the stupidest things in the world when self-interest deludes them or when they believe that they won't be perceived as intelligent or part of the right group if they don't play along.

Dave

Good piece!

Is it possible that the main reason that the Bush Gang has denied climate change is because THEY want to be the ones in control of the FEAR FACTOR?

Look how they can dehumanize folks when their minion, Tony Blair, trots out those 22 Pakistanis on his payroll and claims they were going to blow planes to kingdom come with waterbombs. Millions of folks waited in lines at the airports, missed their flights, lost their luggage, cried when their duty free items were tossed in the garbage by overstuffed security stiffs.

They don't want to see that kind of control slip through their fingers.

And why not give the go-ahead to those BIG OIL folks that offered all the scientists in the panel on climate change 10 grand to sell out? Cheap at 10 times the price.

Heh. Triffids.

How did I know that Moonraven would be the first person to not get the satire of this piece...

"Satire" for morons.

Vox on Nalle: "Of the characters in The Magnificent Seven, the picture unquestionably looks most like the Robert Vaughn character."

Nalle on Vox: "I've seen figures similar to the ones Vox quotes."

Vox on links HE provided (as Nalle): "The claim that this article is 'GOP spin' is an interesting one, since it seems to be based on reports direct from Iraqis inside Iraq if you follow the links."

"Liars -- when they speak the truth -- are not believed." -- Aristotle

Damned funny. I was impressed by how long and on how many points you could keep the mockery going.

The unconscious self-parody of some of the commentors was almost as sweet.

People have the right to respond to a satirical piece any way they damn feel like.

At least this poster is not doing so on her employer's time....

Obviously moonraven didn't read the author's bio...

Good point Nailee....Gore is still an asshole
JOM

Yes, I read the author's bio.

Unlike you, I am not a knee-jerk bigot. I actually read what folks write and make up my mind about the content.

Gore was at least an ELECTED "asshole".

Not in Florida he wasn't, even after several non-partisan recounts.

The human animal can only have developed, whether through Gods Plan or Darwinian Evolution, on a planet favored by the right mix of environmental materials and long term environmental stability to sustain incubation. Accompanied, of course, by various modest short term instabilities to encourage variation.

So here we humans are. Though we are relatively primitive yet (despite our constant attempts to grab all the glory for our own species and declare ourselves to have Dominion Over All The Earth and All Gods Creatures) our intelligence has run amuck and allowed us to create destructive capabilities well beyond our ability to constrain our own appetites.

Left to our own devices we would surely destroy every living thing on this little green planet, possibly with HBombs, possibly with some dreadful germ or fungus (whose name we may not even know today but is being developed in our laboratories) or some other criminal genocide.

And surely we are incapable of constraining our own appetites to avert a disaster with our own feeble morals and weak wills. Of course many 'prophets' and 'seers' and 'messiahs', etc., come forward with this same warning, but soon they announce that THEY themselves have the answer, and it starts with eliminating all opposition, especially the heretics who would oppose them. If some character comes forward with a plan which employs peacefulness and no retribution we quickly pronounce him An Enemy Of the State and assassinate him.

Whether one believes in evolution or ID it is clear that humans are an aberrant creature whose menace outweighs it's usefulness, and therefore will be extinguished in due time, perhaps through a catyclism, perhaps a Silent Killer.

So it's heartening to think mankind will be either destroyed or reduced to a very low state, too low to commit more major crimes, by the simple process of global warming (or even global freezing) which will destroy the menace of humans while leaving enough flora and fauna to keep the ecosphere vital and ready for a future, more deserving, form of brainy life.

"it is clear that humans are an aberrant creature whose menace outweighs it's usefulness"

Huh? How is that clear? What menace? what use? Back to George Carlin's old routine, maybe the Earthmother decided that she needed styrofoam, and that's why we're here.

As my alter-ego, Sun Raven, says:

Your species has consistently mistaken being at the top of the food chain for being superior.

Hey moonraven how can you still be counting chads and dimples while the seas are rising...shouldnt you be building an ark or something?

I have made it very clear that I am buying up all the (soon to be) beachfront property in Nebraska.

Vox on Nalle: "Of the characters in The Magnificent Seven, the picture unquestionably looks most like the Robert Vaughn character."

Nalle on Vox: "I've seen figures similar to the ones Vox quotes."

Nalle on Duke: "This is one of the first truly funny satire pieces I've seen in a while. Great job.

Hmmm...

Clavos, that was pretty quick. I usually like to rain on the Gore 2000 parade, but you got there in 2 minutes. Sweet.

Old 'n busted: Intelligent design

New hotness: Global warming

"Gore was at least an ELECTED "asshole"."

No, he wasn't.

Funny piece. Acid Rain was the big thing in my day. I remember we had to write papers about how we were all going to lose our hair and that Reagan was at the root of it. Then I grew up.

archie: ""Gore was at least an ELECTED "asshole"."

No, he wasn't."

man, you missed one there. you had such an opportunity... if i were you i woulda played off that missing comma and said something like, "they have to elect you "asshole" these days?" or "gore was a shoe-in for "asshole," so i didn't bother to vote." you know, something like that.

instead all you've got it "no, he wasn't?"

and why do you bother anymore? that was 7 years ago... if someone is going to believe that bush stole the election, then they're going to believe it. fucking thief.

I was just stating a fact.

I didn't feel anything more need be said.

"Acid Rain was the big thing in my day. I remember we had to write papers about how we were all going to lose our hair and that Reagan was at the root of it. Then I grew up."

And then you Googled acid rain Vermont, Maine, New York, Ontario, etc, and found out you're never too old to learn.

Feel like the kid in the candy store. Where to start. Maurice, Im still blowing popcorn and rum out my nose from laughing with your opening comment. Let the plants scream as they die. Dam dude my jaws hurt. Bless you my man and keep up the good work.

"Gore was at least an ELECTED "asshole".

I thought 'asshole' was an appointive office, rather than elected.

I wonder if Vox Populi thinks the same thing?

From first hand experience of seeing the death and destruction left in the wake of Al Gore's decision making ability, I have to say the man is as dumb as a box of rocks. There is a difference between intelligence and common sense and he has none of the later. If a man can't look back to see the results of things he has put into motion and understand that his good intentions caused more harm than good through unintended consequences, then he shouldn't be allowed to make important decisions.

Moonraven has an alter ego, Sunraven? Is this in addition to her identical twin sister Catherine/Mary reborn?

"From first hand experience of seeing the death and destruction left in the wake of Al Gore's decision making ability, I have to say the man is as dumb as a box of rocks."

I have no idea what you're talking about, but hey you're bashing Al Gore and there aint nothing wrong with that. The guy's a pompous liberal jackass in love with the sound of his own voice. That is so common in the Democratic party these days, Joe Biden, chuck Schumer etc...I am surprised no one has coined a term for it yet.

TVI #29 - Thanks. Did you check out the link? They are serious about plants screaming as they die!

Arch is a pompous fascist ass in love with his keyboard. There should be a name for that.

Moon, you once asked me why I thought you should be pulled from the boards. Look over your contributions to this thread. That's why.

Get real' baronius. She's incapable of introspection. The giant ego gets in the way.

"That is so common in the Democratic party these days, Joe Biden, chuck Schumer etc...I am surprised no one has coined a term for it yet."

My friend Vic Populi calls it "incipient neoconism". When Dick Cheney decides they're dumb enough he appoints them as presidential advisers.

Baronius:

Have you checked YOUR contributions--to anything?

Is that navel lint I see between your two front teeth?

Lumpy - Get real' baronius. She's incapable of introspection. The giant ego gets in the way.

She's? She's? Moonraven is a chick? Is she cute or does she look like she sounds?

Not a chick, Joe.

Women over 15 are not CUTE.

They might be beautiful--cute, never.

Come on now, my Grandma was as cute as a button!

not true!

my grandmother was cute.

damn it all to hell.

"Women over 15 are not CUTE." - Moonraven speaking for herself I suppose.

"Women over 15 are not CUTE."

John Mark Karr, is that you?

Suss...that was funny!

Misogynists are in abundance on this site.

Any guy who puts a woman down by calling her cute deserves a swift kick in the nuts.

Of course many of you don't have any....so you lucked out.

aww, yer so cute when yer angry.

really, moonraven, you can't be serious. it's getting silly. you see misogyny where there isn't any. what do you think "cute" means? attractive? pleasing to the eye in some way? and what about that... demeans anyone? can men be cute? why is that? i simply have no idea where you are coming from on this.

moonraven suffers from serious penis envy. It's evident in a number of her posts, where she attempts to belittle male posters.

Men don't put a woman down by calling her cute. Cute is a compliment. There are much better and more descriptive words to use if you want to put one down.

like calling them "moonraven" for starters.....

"Of course many of you don't have any....so you lucked out."

Playing the bully again heh MR. What is this fascination you have with male genitalia?

"moonraven suffers from serious penis envy. It's evident in a number of her posts, where she attempts to belittle male posters."

At least she's got the balls to take a stand against Nalle's fraud and deceit of the Vox Populi scam.

"At least she's got the balls to take a stand against Nalle's fraud and deceit of the Vox Populi scam."

As long as you don't call them cute, your ok.

Maurice I did check out the link. Your right. Went to the gun range today with my trusty Mac 90 and targets which consisted of brocolie, cabbage and brussel sprouts. I noticed the brussel sprouts when shot squeled like a pig. Since my parents made me eat the little suckers years ago this was very satisfying. Will try my Glock 45 auto on my neighbors cat soon. My marigolds scream out to me when that ugly hairy bastard cat shits on them every night.

Moonraven, what a sensuous cute women you are. Marry me and I will give you all the bitch slaps your little heart desires my sweet pumpkin puss.
