For Some Reason . . .


. . . I have Rush Limbaugh on in the background. Boring.

But I was amused how he didn't think Al Gore's Live Earth concert included any "A List" performers. So I looked to see who was on the bill: Fall Out Boy, Bon Jovi, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Akon, Dave Matthews Band, Kelly Clarkson, Ludacris, Melissa Etheridge, Kanye West, Smashing Pumpkins, Rihanna, AFI and The Police. (And that's just in New Jersey alone.)

Yep, Rush, you're right. But Mel Torme died a few years back. What an idiot.

Don't be talking mean about Rush. You'll hurt Wordbile's feelings. You know they are best friends.

Somebody toss Rush a bottle of Oxycontin.

Judge Harry Stone might resent that Mel Tormé comment!

If Rsuh said that, he was wrong, and it was petty of him to act like a liberal and try to show disdain in that manner.
That having been said, TALK ABOUT POLITICS OF FEAR! Albore and his ilk are getting filthy rich over the whole "green" thing. Funny how all you liberals swallow everything he says like baby birds when there are JUST AS MANY SCIENTISTS who rebunk the global warming crisis.
Do I care about the Earth? Yes, I do. Do I think that man is causing some catastrophic, irreversible damage to the planet? No, I don't. I think this whole thing is liberals finding ways to get zillions of dollars on government money to play their little games.
Again, TALK ABOUT POLITICS OF FEAR...
BTW, are all you liberals cutting down to 2-3 squares of toilet paper like Cheryl Crow insisted? SAVE THE PLANET!!!
yuck yuck...

Dig up Mel. He would be more entertaining than Snoop Diddy or Acorn.

Well, even though I hate tree huggers, I am glad they are doing this to save the world and not to save the mountain lions in Colorado or the aligators in Florida or the bears in Wyoming and Utah...

Any one who is stupid enough to buy into Algore's hysteria and perform at his idiotic concert cannot be considered A list in my book. They are D for DUMB. I heard that if you make a shiny little hat out of tin foil they let you into the concert for free. PS- I have some carbon credits for sale if any of you SUV driving libs want to buy them. Also, you libs can reduce world pollution by ceasing to defecate. Seeing most of you are totally FOS it won't be hard. I hear the Austin environmentalists are considering planting a garden over Molly Ivins grave. They'll never need to fertilize! Remind me not to buy tomatoes from Austin.Yech

Barry, can you link to where Rush mentioned Mel Torme? Quit leading the liberal weenie sheeple around by the nose.

Shouldn't you be listening to Al 'Freakin' Franken instead of Rush? Oh, I forgot, the Boy's Club they were stealing money from to stay on the air ran out.

Actually, Barry's right; Rush did seem to be a bit out of touch as to what the current big concert draws are. As for Barry calling Rush an "idiot," it's a shame that the "chronicler of all things Wise Country" had to resort to such shabby namecalling. I guess that as a Liberal, much like the scorpion from the fable, Barry can't help his nature.

Rush learned something, however, about the Arctic Monkeys. AM drummer Matt Helders: "It's a bit patronising for us 21 year olds to try to start to change the world. Especially when we're using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It'd be a bit hypocritical. There's more important people who can have an opinion. Why does it make us have an opinion because we're in a band?"

It's amusing, actually, to think of all these celebrities patting themselves on the back while burning prodigious amounts of fossil fuels, all over a theory that more and more scientists are disputing. Meanwhile, Gore is cashing in with a cupidity that boggles the mind.

Liberals give me a good chuckle.

If only Al had been around thousands of years ago when the earth was warming up between the ice ages. Headlining his concerts would have been Dave Mathews and the cavemen and Snoop P Daddy and the cotton pickers.

Maybe Rush was right.

Hosted by Ann Curry?

This is about the most ignorant comment yet. It's not even close.

Second attempt at this post, since the first one that I tried Friday evening didn't seem to get through.

(Barry, if the first one is in your stack of things to do, please nuke this one.)

3:19 -- In 4:31's defense, it's hard to get an accurate count of scientists who think the global warming alarmists have gone too far with their claims.

For one thing, a number of scientists who the alarmists say support their cause have had their findings misrepresented, so that number is skewed.

For another thng, many scientists who formerly advocated the global warming hysteira have changed their minds.

Also, many scientists who privately dispute the doomsday scenarios painted by Al Gore and his followers are afraid to make it public because of social and professional threats and pressure.

None of the doomsayers want these scientists to kill the golden goose. Since 1993 more than $80 billion has been spent on global warming research. Scientists who use climate change to explain environmental changes get part of the $6.5 billion in research grants that foundations, corporations, and US government programs have budgeted for global warming in 2007. Politicians cement relationships with activists who support reelection campaigns and can change $14 billion in "alternative energy" pork into ethical "planetary protection."

Finally, a so-called "consensus" of scientific opinion ain't all it's cracked up to be.

My last link (about "consensus") was bad. Try again here.
