Cash, cars, conventions…isn’t that the pitch? Earth-friendly products and packaging? (Here is the cynical Shaklee underbelly: all the products are “concentrated”, so that you “use less packaging and dilute the product at home”, and this is why they cost three times as much as anything else. They know that human nature is to overconcentrate, anyway, so they just end up with huge margins. Buyers pay for shipping on everything, so there’s no distribution system — it’s UPS. Evil genius from liberals, those magnificent bastards.)

I wonder if Cameron uses Al’s hair jell?

Ok, ewww!~

Oh, come on! This is how they sell Amway and Shaklee products…

Now, now. I’ve been involved with both, and that’s only true about Amway. And hey, please don’t click the link…

Haaaaa! I was thinking the same thing, … except for the glue part. ! Not sure what my problem is today.

Lysenko destroyed Soviet Agriculture with his theories. Soviet agronomists who did not go with the “consensus” lost their jobs and were imprisoned. Sound familiar? Like the Weather Channel head threatening meteorologists and climatologists with revoking their credentials if they don’t support “Global Warming.”

Eagles linebacker Dhani Jones watching “An Inconvenient Truth” to psych himself up before night games and how Chevy Chase is “really upset” about global warming,

Might as well be talking to the Sun.

Which science is that then Allah? The fact that he’s trained a bunch of eco-Jehovah’s Witnesses demonstrates the weakness of his cult’s ‘science’, not its strength.

His Powerpoint is absolute bullshit, and the amount of actual empirical scientific data it contains is approximately nil.

Brought to you by the same country that will no longer use the phrase “war on terror.”

Heart-ache.

a) according to whom?, and 2) do the 2500 all know that they have been included in the group?

Those are excellent questions…and thus the MSM hasn’t thought to ask them.

I’ve watched a couple of docs that bring up this point, and ask a third question as well: what if you’re a scientist whose name is on the list and you want it taken off? Apparently it’s harder than cancelling your AOL service.

P.S. Cybermen pwn.

In trying to find a picture of a green Cyberman, I came upon this interesting nugget:

Revenge of the Cybermen

The guy that created the cybermen for the Doctor Who series actually wrote a book. Here’s the title: The Quest for Gaia: A Book of Changes

Talk about creepy, it’s almost getting Romeroesque in here.

I forgot to mention that Al Gore is a fraud and I hate him.

Jaibones on April 25, 2007 at 5:28 PM

Al Gore is not a fraud.

He’s a REAL robot.

I’m sure of it.

PS The USA Today story says something dumb about the “top 2500 climate scientists in the world”, which begs the questions a) according to whom?, and 2) do the 2500 all know that they have been included in the group?

My first thought was – so when did environmentalism officially become a cult?

This is getting downright creepy.

What I think is going to be nice about this whole effort is there will be marching orders for people.

Marching orders?!?!?!

I thought only Bushitlerovians blindly, unthinkingly followed whatever they were told to do – while the People of Reason calmly read The Research in original Scienterrific Language.

I’m shocked.

Much to my chagrin, I suddenly find myself excited about Live Earth.

Nothing wrong with acting resonsibly toward our environment. As long as we can remain honest about our science and our agendas.

Gore’s problem isn’t that he is environmentally proactive, it’s that he has to make up all this nonsense as a way to get people to follow him. I think this is also the instructions for how to build your own cult.

I, for one, welcome our new brainless overlords.

Do they still allow people to smoke at Wembley Stadium by the way?
