“Al Gore is waging a fierce campaign for recognition and an Oscar statuette for his global warning documentary, while reviving talk that he’s pursuing a bigger prize: the presidency,” Beth Fouhy reports for Forbes.
“This Saturday Gore is hosting a network of 1,600 house parties across the country to watch and discuss his documentary, ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ with the Democrat planning to address the gatherings by satellite hookup. The movie is on the short list of feature-length documentaries being considered for Oscar nominations,” Fouhy reports. “The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announce the Oscar nominations Jan. 23, with the 79th Oscars slated for Feb. 25.”
“‘I am not planning to run for president again,’ Gore said last week, arguing that his focus is raising public awareness about global warming and its dire effects. Then, he added: ‘I haven’t completely ruled it out,'” Fouhy reports. “Those words make Gore the 800-pound non-candidate of the Democratic field.”

Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth,” the highest-grossing documentary of the year, features copious use of Apple’s Keynote presentation software, even while many reviewers of the film incorrectly describe it as a “PowerPoint” presentation.

something I’ve come to now, finally, know for sure:
the large majority of MacDailyNews posters are complete and utter fsck-heads.
you may have also noticed this fact. but because of the truthyness outilined above, I have to doubt it.
the great thing is, as a non-american world-citizen, I have to tell you (from personal experience) that the large majority of real americans views and opinions are not posted at MacDailyNews.
now isn’t that a fscking relief!
MacDailyNews Magic Word: lived –as in, it would seem, the large majority of MacDailyNews posters have not lived…
TT-
yup. They’ve gone nuts.
Xmas tree is up in my house.
Where it belongs.
Peace.
just watching my TiVo of John Edwards on Hardball with Chris Mathews.
Thank GOD (speaking as an Independent here) the Dems are back in power.
Now, when Ms. Clinton or Mr. Gore, or Edwards take the reigns, we can FINALLY BECOME A RESPECTED WORLD PLAYER, once again.
One final question, here.
Where. Is. O. Sa. Ma. Bin. La. Den.?
Is he in Iraq? Isn’t he the one who claimed responsibility for 9/11?
Well, why aren’t we finding him?
I could post the clip here, but what do you 27 percenters think about George The Chimp (TM) saying “I don’t really think about him that much”.
Even if that was taken out of context, isn’t that a stupid thing for a Prez to say? (Unless, the Prez is a Chimpanzee. Really, he’s not that far removed.).
But I still think someone should slap Barbara Bush.
Almost 3000 kids (OUR kids) dead. George The Pussy (TM) (unlike John Kerry, who VOLUNTEERED) got a cushy Texas Air Guard Job (see my song). Courtesy of Daddy.
Face up to the facts. Get over it. Admit it.
And don’t forget about chicken-shit Cheney. Another PUSSY.
Don’t like my post?
KISS MY ASS. I am embarresed by more than half of the morons on this board.
-3000 kids DEAD, (where is Osama Bin Laden? The MasterMind of the 9/11 attacks?)
-$8 billion a month (where is Osama Bin Laden? The MasterMind of the 9/11 attacks?)
-27% “war” approval (where is Osama Bin Laden? The MasterMind of the 9/11 attacks?
-NO security in ports (where is Osama Bin Laden? The MasterMind of the 9/11 attacks?)
(where is Osama Bin Laden? The MasterMind of the 9/11 attacks?)
(where is Osama Bin Laden? The MasterMind of the 9/11 attacks?)(where is Osama Bin Laden? The MasterMind of the 9/11 attacks?)
-(where is Osama Bin Laden? The MasterMind of the 9/11 attacks?)

Do I make myself clear?
Who is not clear on this?
WHERE IS OSAMA BIN LADEN?
(Think about this. Next time is going to be catastrophic.)
Where is he?
Never mind any bullshit.
This is the real deal.
We’ve lost valueable time.
The entire middle east neads to be wiped out and then start over. These baffoons are not capable of peacefully inhabiting the planet. They will bring their own end on themselves. I back it. Hopefully Always Right will be vacationing there when it happens.
If John Edwards was on with Chris Mathews, it wasn’t hardball, I don’t care what they call the show.
More like T-Ball.
Let’s hear from a REAL Democrat, like Joe Lieberman or maybe Tom Vilsack.
MW:soon, as in “I’m afraid McCain and Rice will be up there soon, but it could be much worse”
Anyone who thinks Osama Bin Ladin is the key to all of this is a real idiot. He’s a small piece of the puzzle. He will be found when Pakistan gets invaded in a nuclear war. They don’t want to get him we don’t want a nuclear war to get him. That’s what will happen and that’s what every moron that keeps whining Osama, Osama, will bring about. I say bring back the draft and lets go after these people everywhere they lurk on the planet and kill them.
Disclaimer: This is my first and last post on this topic. I will also not be reading any comments about my post – so don’t bother.
Always Right – you’re an idiot. You cannot spell (yet you attack Bush for not being able to speak as eloquently as some puppet {Gore}) and you yell (at least that’s what I interpret your liberal use of caps to mean) to make your points. You really do not have to use caps to highlight your idiotic beliefs.
Osama bin Laden is dead. His body is buried in some cave where no one will ever find him. Who cares anyway? Even if he did architect 9/11 he obviously did not fly the planes into the buildings himself. What would capturing bin Laden do at this point anyway? He is (was) nobody. Was he king of anything? Was he the president of anywhere? Did he hold a seat at the UN? Nope.
Capturing Saddam (an actual president of something) and judging him and his extremely evil actions through a democratic process sends a clear, lightning-bolt message to terrorists. Upon capture, they will be prosecuted according to the laws of their nations.
So…the Iraq war had nothing to do with 911, nor WMD, nor bringing OBL to justice? Hmm….
> …What would capturing bin Laden do at this point anyway?
Well, I guess we can cut our police forces now. What, another murder? Well, slap the bookie next door!
MW: “order” as in “law and….”
Right on macman! Well put.
AlwaysRight –> AlwaysWrong
“Swedish researchers provided experimental evidence that cosmic rays may be a major factor in climate change. They calculated that just 5 years of cosmic ray activity can have 85 percent of the effect on the Earth’s climate as 200 years of manmade carbon dioxide emissions. Though the study was published in the prestigious Proceedings of the Royal Society A, the findings went largely unreported by the Al Gore-smitten media.”
P.S. Cosmic rays pass through everyone’s head, including your diseased liberal brain.

A good read.
Always Right = Psycho
Fox- appr. 1.35 mil viewers.
Msnbc, about 850,000. Cnn about 500,000.
(Might have those two swapped).
So, as you can see, viewership roughly reflects the popular vote.
Main stream new outlets suck!
