Nobel, Schnobel ...
So what's the big deal with Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize?

It's not like Georgie won't have a closet-full of them once he leaves office and starts 'topping up the coffers' with his electrifyin' speechifyin' in the years to come.

"And the Nobel Peace Prize for 2010 is awarded to George W. Bush, for his 'The Childrens Does Learn' lecture tour which captivated the global community. The prize is shared with the gifted linguist who was able to translate Bush's speeches into some semblance of the English language."




But, for now ...


CONGRATULATIONS, NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER AND PRESIDENT-ELECT AL GORE!!!


(If only we intellectual snobs on the left didn't take so much pride in
such tawdry trinkets as THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE ....)

5. Mucho pride and then some. We love Sen/VP Gore.
On short notice, the only link I can provide is somewhat superficial...yet, not the worst by any means, ask JeffR about the MonkeyFunk threads!

10. Is that a comment on our National Capital or ........
the lack of internet connections? As much as we love Al Gore & 'Nance Rants', It is interesting to 'hear' you say "Ottawa (blechh)" so what's the problem?
We are big fans of Al Gore and the climate change dialog, maybe you've heard of the Iqaluit environmentalist that was nominated as well,
Canadian Sheila Watt-Cloutier, an Iqaluit-based environmental activist. It's not like we're not all in this together. I guess I'm just being 'touchy'.

11. The 'blechh' is just a personal thing for me ...
I'm in Ottawa every so often for work, and it always winds up as an unmitigated disaster for me. Just a 'bad luck' place for yours truly.

4. Well, it's a poor substitute for

a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Georgie, but he'll just have to settle.

16. Excellent graphic!
Honestly don't remember why I deleted, but it was most likely operator error on my part...

12. Ya have to admit ...
