Truly Inconvenient

(The real culprit to Global Warming finally found!)

In an AP story today, it is reported that growing numbers of rice fields are actually producing more methane gas than much of the industrialized world does with factories, automobiles and other industry. This is truly hilarious news.

Sure, Al Gore and Co. made a lot of people angry by saying Hummers & Suburbans were the cause of this planet's woes...but millions of suburbanite soccer moms aren't going to create the uproar that billions of people will produce when told they shouldn't eat rice any longer. I've spent some time in China...let me tell you, every meal has rice in it...and everybody eats it (except for me). Furthermore, isn't rice the main source of nutrition for the hungry nations in Africa?

So, the anti-capitalist, anti-progress lefties have gotten themselves into a bit of a pickle now. While all they were trying to do was change the way Americans and other capitalist around the world lived their lives...now, they're going to take away the main food source for the majority of the world. Good move, ladies.

Maybe if windbags like Gore, Pelosi & Co. would stop talking, the world would cool down to a temperature that they find more suitable.

It's Al Gore's World and We're Just Living In It

There are lots of reasons we all like sports. The brilliance of Charlie Weis, the honesty of Nick Saban, the pout of Tyler Hansbrough after he gets cracked in the chops. All good reasons. But one of the biggest reasons is that we can often escape from whatever else is going on in the world. After 9/11, many people couldn't wait to enjoy sports again, as it signaled at least some return to normalcy.

Two days ago, my Sports Illustrated arrived and I had to do a double-take. SI has a cover story on global effing warming and how it's affecting sports? Really?

I knew Al Gore and his questionably scientific methods had infiltrated Hollyweird, but I guess I didn't realize it had seeped into the sports world as well. There is plenty of research (some of it even in easy-to-read books) detailing that global warming, at the very least, is not the Earth-ending epidemic that Gore and his liberal buddies would have you believe.

I suppose we should thank him for the fact that you're reading this, though. You know, Internet and all.
