Clothes Line Saga
I've long enjoyed the song "Clothes Line Saga" from Bob Dylan and the Band's The Basement Tapes. [audio clip]
Have you heard the news, he said with a grin, the Vice President's gone mad.
Where?
Downtown?
When?
Last Night.
Hmm. Gee that's too bad.
Speaking of which, Al Gore was in Seattle Tuesday night promoting his new film, called "Conveniently Untruthful", or something. Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at May 04, 2006 10:51 AM | Email This

1. An Inconvenient Truth
http://www.climatecrisis.net/

This movie is going to rock the nation - whether Stefan likes it or not.

2. You know, I agree with Michael Medved: there is something not right about Al Gore. He really IS too wierd to be president. Thank goodness we dodged that bullet!

3. "Rock the nation"?
Hilarious.
Al Gore?
Hilarious.
I can only laugh - whether you like it or not. Only a fool would listen to a politician speaking of anything scientific. Politics and science have never worked well, and Al Gore is fool to boot.

4. So this is what the inventor of marriage and the internet has been spending his time on. Personally, I couldn't care less what he's been doing as long as it doesn't involve governing the U.S.

5. Yes, Al Gore "the man who almost became president but instead returned to his most impassioned cause of his life..." (Gore returned because of his moral convictions right? Ruuuight. So we only have 10 years before its to late eh?)

6. GoreDefender - is that in the same sense as the Religion of Peace's tradition, or the state of mind of WA's governments? rocked/stoned...

7. Albert in town? Explains why the air quality was so lousy Tuesday night. Typical Gore. Ignore all overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. If the Goremeister says so it's an automatic universal, undeniable FACT. Enter the Church of Gore! Be amazed!


Bite me big time Albert. How can you sleep? You know your tripe is pure fiction but it serves you. You manipulative cretin.

Hey, here's a useful tip for y'all. Used motor oil works great to burn out those pesky old growth stumps! :)

8. Gore invented the Internet, so he has tremendous credibility with me, and if what GoreDefender states above is true, that this film will "rock the nation", is that like Michael Moore's F-911 that rocked the nation? He did succeed in rocking the vote for Prez. GW Bush. How do I really feel about Alice Gore? HE'S PLAYING ON OUR FEARS! Go away Al Gore...phony.

9. It's truly amazing how ignorant you are in seattle. read "Enthropy" by jermy rifkin(1980) before you're all underwater, oh great port city.Of course I don't expect anyone here to comprehend the book. but give it a try boneheads. This movie is going to blow you away.period. you're the fools...........................look up the second law of thermo-dynamics."EDUMACATE" yourself fool............goodnight.

10. Is this the movie where Al Gore exposes ManBearPig?

11. New study results were released by the Bush administration a few days ago.

"Thomas Karl, the director of the National Climatic Data Center in the Commerce Department and the lead editor of the report, said it was not simply a review of existing work but also, by forcing scientists with differing views to meet repeatedly, resulted in breakthroughs. "

"'The evidence continues to support a substantial human impact on global temperature increases,' Dr. Karl said."

"John R. Christy, an author of the new report whose analysis of satellite temperature records long showed little warming above Earth's surface, said he endorsed the conclusion that 'part of what has happened over the last 50 years has clearly been caused by humans.'"

12. second law, "Enthropy" (sic) by jermy rifkin (sic)?

Did you mean "Entropy: A New World View" by Jeremy Rifkin?

Perhaps you're right, no one here can understand this book, and based upon your post we'll assume that you've included yourself in that list of distinguished posters.

BTW, here's a question for you: How do you reverse entropy?
Hint: the answer's in an old science fiction story.

13. Or, one could read Michael Creighton's "State of Fear" and watch the environmental emperors lose their clothes....

14. Have you seen the film Stefan? No, of course not.

Well I have, and if your comment filter permitted a string expletives, you'd be reading such now.

Years from now, my grandchildren will curse me for not doing enough to lessen the impact of global warming when I had a chance. And your grandchildren will curse you for actively obstructing people like me.

See you in Hell. We'll compare notes.

15. I encourage everyone here to go watch this movie. Get your conservative friends together. Four, six, twenty of them. Find the most liberal theater in Seattle that you can...and laugh until your stomach splits.
We can start a movement here to completely marginilize this issue by showing how silly it really is.

Saw the preview to An Unconvenient Truth before watching United 93. Couldn't contain the guffaws. Especially when the chilling lines that global warming is the biggest threat to humanity today. Was rather humorous, since it was coming just before a film that documented an event where 3,000 Americans got evaporated by Islamic terrorists.

As for the irrelevent failure's comment above, I'm sure there's a few folks cursing you right now.

Posted by: Reporterward on May 4, 2006 02:21 PM
16. Reportward... Absolutely. Gather up a group of your conservative friends and go see the movie. Everybody should see it and evaluate the facts for themselves. I sincerely doubt you'll walk out laughing.

An Inconvenient Truth is not about politics. It's about science, morals, and ethics.

17. obi-wanker
the title of the jeremy rifkin book is "entropy,into the greenhouse world"
isbn 0-553-34717-9 1980
I've read the book. You, Wanker, need to read the book.
what it says is we live in a high energy society
and will be living in a L O W E N E R G Y
society sooner than Wanker wants to admit.
The average human needs 2,000 calories a day to survive. Wanker uses 200,000 a day. do the math Wank Man. note: Global Warming is a byproduct.

18. Al...stop you lost me at "No overriding legal authority". Not to mention Occidental Petroleum Stock up the yazzu in your private family stash.

Take a pull on the doobie, sit back and do what you always do Al...chill out. Oh wait, no I mean fire up, hey thats a better metaphor for global warming anyway but everyone will think you are talking about having another Bong hit.

19. Gawd, I love those enviroweenies... Goldy, I'm willing to bet you're not as old as me, but I can remember 30 years ago when TIME magazine was breathlessly telling us that we were headed for a new ice age... Sorry. I'm not buying it. (Hint: you don't get research dollars for telling people everything's fine. You only get the big bucks with scare stories and lurid headlines.)

20. Ole Yeller,

You are already in hell moron.
Since you are so deeeeply concerned about the environment,
why not go back to the toilet you created for your animal scat friends and flush for once.

21. "An Inconvenient Truth is not about politics. It's about science, morals, and ethics."

Ah yes...Golden Showers has graced us with another tale of the absurd. I sure do hope that algore kills that Manbearpig before the new ice age.....

Imbecilic Tooth is (like algore himself) about FUD - nothing more, nothing less...

22. Hey Goldie,

Really . . . please tell us . . . how serious is this man ?
Science, morals, and ethics. Wow that's like heavy duty man.
Move over bin laden . . . mommy earth is chapped now dood!

24. second law,

A search at Barnes and Noble website on the ISBN you provided gives this result:
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?ISBN=0553347179&pdf=y
Title of the book? "Entropy: A New World View"

The publication date is 1989, and the ISBN for this title is the 1989 Revision of the book, ISBN 0670297178, hardcover published in 1980. Title of that book? "Entropy: A New World View"

So I checked on Amazon.com, and sure enough under ISBN 0553347179, there it is under the title, "ENTROPY : INTO THE GREENHOUSE WORLD" (New Age Book) (Paperback). Curiously, Ted Howard is not listed as co-author as he is on the B&N website.

The book is out of print, and according to the market place it's not very popular.
Used copies start at $0.15
Sales rank:
#743,765 in Books today,
#721,031 in Books yesterday.
Falling fast I'd say.

It's listed as a "New Age" book. The "New Age" series is under the category "Religion & Spirituality." Other series in the "Religion & Spirituality" category include:
Earth-Based Religions
Fiction
Occult

We've long thought that "global warming" is a religion, and thanks to you we have the proof. In the future, I for one, will try not to insult the religion or altar at the church at which you, Goldy, Gore, and the other "global warming" whack jobs pray.

Happy wanking.

25. First-poster Goredefender was just getting in a plug for the pentultimate 70's rock band, Montrose, featuring Ronnie Montrose on lead guitar (twice the axeman that Hendrix was) and pre-Van Halen front man Sammy Hagar. One of their biggest hits back in the day was "Rock the Nation." I saw them in 1976--they played so loud they blew a window out of the college gymnasium.

I still say Al Gore was juiced (as in steroids) during the 2000 campaign. It explained his bizarre, aggressive behavior during debates (as when he walked over to Bush and stood next to him as if to say, "Go on--hit me. I can take it. I'm using the clear and the cream."). It would also explain the beard and weight gain immediately after his loss. Go off of steroids cold turkey and you bloat like a blow fish. The beard was an attempt to hide the triple chins.

Sorry I missed him. Let's encourage him (and Kerry) to run in 2008. We could use a bit of levity.

26. Organization Man - Thanks for the memories!

Rock Candy - one of my favs!

Posted by: alphabet soup on May 4, 2006 08:29 PM
27. Yeah, Goredefender's plug was really cool man, and Gore was juiced.

His bizarre, aggressive behavior during the debates (as when he walked over to Bush and faced him as if to say, "I'm dumb enough to act like I could ever possibly kick your a$$") was part of his misunderestimation of Bush and his simple-minded insanity. Currently he is busy selling snake oil to liberal morons like Goldy.

I agree whole heartedly, let's encourage him (and Kerry) to run in 2008. We could indeed use more of those clowns' brand of insipid levity.

28. If man is the sole cause of global warming, why was it several degrees F higher in the world when Leif Ericsson settled for several years in Newfoundland? At that time, and for a number of years before, Eric the Red and his band found it warm enough to grow grain and grass to overwinter cattle in Greenland. Growing sufficient grain and grass to overwinter cattle is not possible in Newfoundland or Greenland now. Man can and does contribute, but a larger number of scientists are of the belief that the temperature of the sun is the major factor in the temperature of the earth.

29. I wonder why it is that people who call themselves conservative seem to be unable to carry on a conversation without resorting to name-calling. Could it be that they know that they're absolutely wrong, so they resort to the only tool left to them?

Posted by: Juggler on May 7, 2006 11:37 AM
30. I don't know, lets ask Goredefender, Second Law and Goldy. Why can't you keep a civil tongue when you lose debate after debate? Could it be you are just ill mannered socialist sycophants?
