Beijing Olympics: Is a Gas Mask a Performance Enhancer?

Click on image to enlarge.

Will wearing a gas mask at the Beijing Olympics disqualify an athlete for using a "performance enhancer"?

Half of Beijing's 3.3 million vehicles will be pulled off the roads and many polluting factories will be shuttered. Chemical plants, power stations and foundries left open have to cut emissions by 30 percent - and dust-spewing construction in the capital will be halted.

In a highly stage-managed Olympics aimed at showing off the rising power of the 21st century, no challenge is greater than producing crystalline air for 10,500 of the world's greatest athletes.

"Pea-soup air at the opening ceremony would be their worst nightmare," said Victor Cha, director of Asian Studies at Georgetown University.

From RidesAPaleHorse:

"Oh....wait...WE are the major polluters! How DARE China try and take that away from us? This means WAR!!!"

How come Al Gore and the Enviro-weenies are silent on this?

Because they probably know the Chinese would give their crackpot theories the proper response they deserve.

Solution to Energy Crisis: Drill in ANBR!

The Algore Numbskull Baldspot Refuge


Click on image to enlarge.

We've been alerted that a new campaign, "with a solution to the national energy crisis", has been started by the Comrades at the People's Cube, the KG3: Drill in the ANBR.

The graphic above explains all.

Don't ask any questions: the walls have ears. So does the ANBR.

Which is where the overly-curious may find themselves being shipped to--if not careful.

Want more subversively progressive humor? Try these past KG3 faves: * Obamahitler * The Protest Bra: 100% Clear! * Green Nazi Magazine: Earth Day Issue AND, by Red Square: * "The People's Cube: Guaranteed Results * Obama's Flip-Flopping Caused by Evil Twin

From the KG3 at the People's Cube:
"Who or what are The KG3? And why? Some say they are an ad hoc group of cagey party misfits "putting the toil in toilet humor." Others suspect this troika was selected for its commitment to outstanding production. Do not be ridiculous. But perhaps the masses have the right to know why The KG3s efforts merit a separate category when they are not even children of elite Party members? Perhaps it is not wise to ask too many questions."

Al Gore's Green Weenies: A Tasty New Green Drink

This might just be the best "green" product we've seen all day.

From The Political Jungle: Moonbats Beware!--at ScrewLiberals.com:

The Goracle is pretty bad at practicing what he preaches...BWAH HA HA HA HA HAHA!!!

"The man at the center of the environmental movement is consuming more electricity than ever. The Tennessee Center for Policy Research reports Al Gore's personal electricity consumption is up by ten-percent, despite "energy-efficient" home renovations at his Nashville area mansion. The center says in the past year, Gore's home burned through 213-thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for one month."

Al Gore is a tool.

Maybe Jen of the Jungle should have called it... "Tool-Aid"?

Underwhelming: Reactions to Gore Endorsement of Obama

Al Gore: Chicken Little or Just Chicken?



Reactions on yesterday's endorsement of Barack Obama by Al Gore was underwhelming. They ranged from "Yawn" to "timid" to complaints of Gore's "lousy timing".

Perhaps one day someone will write a chapter about Al Gore in a new book titled “Profiles In Uncourage.”

Democratic presumptive Presidential nominee Barack Obama finally got what he and former rival Senator Hillary Clinton had pined for all these months — THE endorsement from former Vice President Al Gore.

But it came so late in the game that the person who’ll be most impressed with it will be Tipper Gore.
--Joe Gandelman, The Moderate Voice:
Obama Gets “The” Endorsement: The Lousy Timing of Al Gore

Al Gore unquestionably has taken to heart his role as an elder statesman -- he stayed so far above the fray of the Democratic presidential race that the fray was fast becoming an afterthought when he finally bestowed his imprimatur on Barack Obama today.
--Don Frederick, LA Times Blogs:
Al Gore Wraps His Arms Around Barack Obama

Much the same reactions were, seemingly, everywhere on the Net.

And this a guy who could have ended the Democratic race in April if he wanted to. The fact that he stood on the sidelines and said nothing shows the absurdity in calling Al Gore a “leader.”
--Doug Mataconis, Below the Beltway:
Al Gore's Portrait in Timidity

Exactly what Gore was waiting for in the past two weeks since Obama sewed up his party's nomination is unclear. Maybe he just wanted to go to Michigan where his prize-winning environmental pitch is so very less welcome than other places that don't make so many large cars.

The belated endorsement of Barack Obama by former vice president Al Gore seems to have underwhelmed a number of early writers.

Or maybe he was waiting until his endorsement meant absolutely nothing.

Anyway, as The Ticket reported, Gore said all the right things in his endorsement speech, except he noticeably left out the last Democratic president, the one who chose to elevate Gore from has-been senator to his running mate and has been the only Democrat elected president twice since World War II, which is like the Middle Ages for today's voters.
--Andrew Malcolm, LA Times Blogs:
Early reaction to Al Gore's Obama endorsement: Yawn

One fact wasn't mentioned by the above writers.

Al Gore has had so much practice the last 8 years playing Chicken Little, he might just have morphed into a chicken.

Financing that wind farm on the Lower 40 just got easier for Greens.

Of course, we're talking about the Carbon Credit Card for Progress--endorsed by Al Gore! When Al's not busy dictating his latest chapter of the Goran, he's out networking with Pat Robertson, Al Sharpton, Newt Gingrich and all the other Al-colytes.
