POWIP Piece of Work In Progress

7Dec/099

Send a Greeting to Coprophagen Summit [UPDATED]

Here's your chance. I congratulated our unelected world leaders on their limos, jets, and the professional courtesies offered by honest Danish whores.

I wonder whether Googlequiddick will trend. UPDATE: Heh. Ace has related thoughts.

But nothing Warmaquiddick related can possibly top this Vanity Fair piece, "Al Gore: The Poet Laureate of Climate Change," for sheer bathos:

It’s usually a mistake to read too much literal meaning into poetry. But the final lines of Gore’s poem certainly apply to the governments that will gather in Copenhagen from December 7 to 18 for what is regarded as humanity’s last chance to avert absolutely catastrophic climate change.

The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools

Is Gore himself that shepherd? No matter. What counts is that the hour of choosing has indeed arrived and, as documented in Our Choice, we do have the tools to survive—if we choose to employ them.

Here are your tools, indeed, Copenhagen.

Swish and spit (NSFW)

I am grateful to them, however, for providing the antidote in the form of photographs of Stephanie Seymour.

Now that's art.

Another UPDATE: Snark & Boobs weighs in on Tiger's racism.

  1. I can’t believe the chutzpah of this bunch carrying on with their meeting in the face of the exposing of their connivance…

    Then again, maybe there will be workshops on covering their tracks better!

    But I do wonder why there is no hand wringing over the “carbon footprint” of thise attending the conferece, or of St. Al’s in general?

    I guess it’s the old maxim, that at the Animal Farm, some animals are more equal than others…

  3. I told them not to drink the dihydrogen monoxide.

    Even though most of them have already imbibed the flavored-and-sweetened variety or they wouldn’t be there.

  5. In a poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, climate comes in dead last, No. 20 of the 20 big issues of concern to America. But that doesn’t completely explain why a number of recent polls show that people are less and less likely to accept the science of global warming. Here’s where psychology comes in.

    Even as scientists become more confident that climate change is a serious hazard, public opinion is shifting the other way, says Kari Marie Norgaard at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash.

    “This seems irrational,” she says. “And in that sense, it’s challenging the basic premise that we have of an enlightened, democratic, modern society.”

    Norgaard studied this shift in public opinion and found that as people start to feel overwhelmed by the scope of the problem, they simply turn away from the topic. It’s a form of denial, she says.

    “We just don’t want to know about it, so we are actively distancing ourselves from it or trying to protect ourselves from it.”

    I’m guessing you can probably guess which skeezey propaganda whores are behind this pitiful attempt to shore up their dirty socialist global warming fraud but here’s a link anyways.

    • “We just don’t want to know about it, so we are actively distancing ourselves from it or trying to protect ourselves from it.”

      Are we sure she’s not talking about the Proggs reaction to Climaquiddick?
