host, just a little threadjack, but....
do you ever post anything short? Is it necessary to quote yourself?
We get it, you vote Democrat.

World Wildlife Fund has done more to save the planet in the last 25 years than Gore, but I don't see it anywhere on that list.
Carter was and still is, a hippie in a suit. That's not to say he doesn't or hasn't done good things, but he had no business being president and won for ONE reason-Nixon's legacy.
For years, the Nobel committees have waivered between political choices and nonpolitical humanitarian ones. There's no one person or group who wields the power of a Martin Luther King, Jr. or the idealism of a Nelson Mandela or Lech Walesa. Quite frankly, a 'Peace Prize' is a misnomer any more and very much so in this case.
Who gets it next year? Toyota and Chevrolet for their hybrids?
I don't knock Gore for his work-if someone believes strongly in something, they should forge ahead-I just don't feel that his accomplishments are worthy of something that portends to hold a great deal of "honor", nor do they have anything to do with peace.
