Picture of the Day

I really want to know what these 2 talked about for 40 minutes.

Mother Teresa, F HER!

Al Gore won the Nobel peace prize last week for his work raising environmental awareness around the world. Check out the above 2 videos for the coverage. Of course this means that the right/Fox News goes absolutely ape shit over his deserved prize(Hey Neil Cavuto, you are not skinny yourself, fat A$$) and columnist Paul Krugman correctly labels their outrage: Gore Derangement Syndrome.

Either love him or hate him, Gore's goal of cleaner air and water are not bad ambitions. Whether you want to pick apart his movie's conclusions, there is no denying that man is warming the planet. I put my faith for global warming stats in the overwhelming majority of scientists that tell me global warming exists and not in the small minority who tell me it does not.

Not surprisingly, the scientists in denial are on the pay roll of the big polluters. Shocker? Plus, when it comes to a cleaner climate and earth for future generations, I would rather error on the side of caution for people's health, instead of being on the other side, arguing to protect the profit margins of global corporations.

Furthermore, it is nice to see a former public official actually have conviction on something other than blowing things up or killing people. Krugman illustrates the syndrome with excerpts from his column:

The worst thing about Mr. Gore, from the conservative point of view, is that he keeps being right. In 1992, George H. W. Bush mocked him as the “ozone man,” but three years later the scientists who discovered the threat to the ozone layer won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In 2002 he warned that if we invaded Iraq, “the resulting chaos could easily pose a far greater danger to the United States than we presently face from Saddam.” And so it has proved.

But Gore hatred is more than personal. When National Review decided to name its anti-environmental blog Planet Gore, it was trying to discredit the message as well as the messenger. For the truth Mr. Gore has been telling about how human activities are changing the climate isn’t just inconvenient. For conservatives, it’s deeply threatening.

The sulfuric acid in America’s lakes mainly comes from coal burned in U.S. power plants, but the carbon dioxide in America’s air comes from coal and oil burned around the planet — and a ton of coal burned in China has the same effect on the future climate as a ton of coal burned here. So dealing with climate change not only requires new taxes or their equivalent; it also requires international negotiations in which the United States will have to give as well as get.

Everything I’ve just said should be uncontroversial — but imagine the reception a Republican candidate for president would receive if he acknowledged these truths at the next debate. Today, being a good Republican means believing that taxes should always be cut, never raised. It also means believing that we should bomb and bully foreigners, not negotiate with them.

Which brings us to the biggest reason the right hates Mr. Gore: in his case the smear campaign has failed. He’s taken everything they could throw at him, and emerged more respected, and more credible, than ever. And it drives them crazy.Climate change is, however, harder to deal with than acid rain, because the causes are global.

Case of the Mac G Mondays

Busy weekend in Peoria, Illinois, aka, "Ptown." Ex-NFL DLineman and current NFL Fox broadcaster, Bill Maas got pulled over and busted with a loaded gun, 6 grams of blow, 5 grams of herb, and 22 pills of E. He was with a 27 year old chick, over half his age. Now this is my kind of party animal!! He should be in Vinnie Chase's crew. I do not understand the need for loaded guns but whatever, maybe from stopping others like the Wire's Omar from stealing his stash.

Did Maas know that Bonnaroo was over 2 weeks ago? Lollapalooza is not until August either. He allowed the cops to search his car after he looked nervous, another bonehead move. I have seen enough Cops episodes and consulted with a few attorneys to realize the cops have to have a reason to search your vehicle. Once you allow them, it is over.

Mass used to be married to Dan Marino's sister and Marino hates him.(scroll down for story) Maas sat in jail all day before anyone realized who he was and cops are still wondering what he was doing in Ptown. Do not all people that live in Ptown ask themselves that same question? Sorry Racho, I had to do it.

UPDATED: Mug Shot Time.

Good Ole Brian Urlacher is being accused by his baby mama to send these type of text messages.

Go to hell you f------ ----."

"Grow the f--- up and quit praying and get a job."

"You're a f------ fruit cake."

"Your raising a little p---y."

Elijah Dukes still has him beat. It turns out his baby mama sounds pretty Fn NUTS. She sued some Lord of the Dance star, Michael Flatley, for raping her. The case has been thrown out and this dancer is now counter suing her. Urlacher sounds like quite the white trash father already by already calling his 2 year old a pussy. I wonder how a 2 year old does NOT become a pussy? I am perplexed.

Further Proof that Sports Blogs are becoming increasingly more relevant and taking over the sports world. A blog post from a Seattle Mariners' Blog about Mariners pitcher King Felix throwing too many fastballs was given to the Mariners pitching coach. He showed it to King Felix, who then blanked the A's 4-0 by mixing in more breaking balls.

I would write a letter to the Orioles and Nats coaches about how Chris Ray and Austin Kearns both suck and should be demoted. Honestly, I have stopped caring. When do NFL training camps begin?

Roger Federer is the freaking man and pure magician with the tennis racket! Sunday's match was some of the best tennis that I have ever watched. Federer was pushed to the limit by Nadal and turned it up a notch in the 5th set to claim his fifth straight Wimbledon title. Federer is arguably one of the best tennis players ever and Nadal could be the best clay court player ever. Federer is 25 and Nadal is 22. I can not wait for the possible rematch in the US Open.

Miss New Jersey is being blackmailed by an anonymous person, who is threatening to release naked photos of her unless she gives up her crown. Is the New Jersey crown worth going to the federal prison over? Will they not be pulling high dollar tricks at a Atlantic City casino in 5 years anyway? I love how Jersey girls and naked pictures go hand in hand. I have a funny feeling my friend and current Jersey resident Scooter might be up to something. He loves him some Jersey.

Near triple digit temps in the nation's capitol and a massive hangover sent Mac G scurrying for AC on 7/7/07. I was rewarded by checking out the Live Earth concerts in HD. Foo Fighers put on the best show by far, Dave Grohl was just rocking it. Roger Waters, Madonna, and the Police had amazing performances as well.

I was impressed with the positive message of the performers and how the world can be united around the idea of leaving the earth in better condition for future generations. This is not a political issue of right vs left but of course this did not stop the US conservative right from attacking the purpose of the concerts.

I do not have the energy to destroy the conservative position on global warming. It is hard to have honest policy debate about solutions when one side continually denies the existence of a true problem.

I was pissed and not surprised to find out that Al Gore had wanted the US show to be in front of the capitol on the national mall. Global Warming hater, Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe blocked the show on the grounds of the event being political. Even though Republican Senator Oylimpia Snow had cosponsored the bill for the concert.

Inhofe is the ranking member of Senate committee that deals with environmental issues and he is pretty much insane. He thinks God will settle out the environment and he hates gay people too. On the Senate floor last year, he showed a picture of his family and proclaimed proudly that no one in his family is gay. I guess maybe I am finally glad that I am a oppressed DC citizen with no representation in the US Senate than have Jilted James as my representative. Poor Boomer Sooners.

The Native American Museum did salvage some pride for the DC. They allowed a few musical acts on their grounds, highlighted by Garth Brooks.
