AL GORE WINS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

Picphoto101207gore
Early this morning, former vice president and current environmental activist Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize:

Now the Nobel Committee has done its part, awarding Gore the PeacePrize for being "probably the single individual who has done most tocreate greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to beadopted" to combat climate change, according to his citation. (TheUnited Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was also ajoint winner of the prize.) And so, after the obligatory spasms ofcelebration and the equally obligatory gnashing of Rush Limbaugh'steeth, will Americans finally get to enjoy one of the great spectaclesin political history, as Gore's ultimate honor levitates him beyond hisleading rival, Hillary Clinton, and into the Oval Office?

According to the Nobel web site, Gore and the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change were awarded the prize "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge aboutman-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measuresthat are needed to counteract such change."

So now to the big question: is Gore getting back into politics?  Only time will tell.  However, he is leaving his China trip earlier than expected so he can fly back to attend a fundraiser for Democratic Senate candidate Barbara Boxer (D-CA).

The world is going to know that no one and I mean no one messes with the American Patriot and the children at Bay Point School.

Good-by corrupt politicians and hello WE THE PEOPLE and the Second American Revolution that is going fairly smooth thanks to great teachings from Patrick J Fitzgerald. Siebol Edmonds, Secret Service Agent J.D. Bell and Jay Leigh Bellemi plus Tom Heneghan and Mary Schneider and Jane Bowell and Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. Oh the list goes on for we are all true to the law and to WE The PEOPLE.
