Cigarette Smoking Causes Global Warming
The woman I adore and love... loves and adores Al Gore. At least that what she told me last night. I told her that Al Gore believes cigarette smoking causes Global Warming. She said no way. This is from Matt Drudge on September 29, 2006.
GORE: CIGARETTE SMOKING 'SIGNIFICANT' CONTRIBUTOR TO GLOBAL WARMING
Fri Sep 29 2006 09:04:05 ET
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!" Gore, who was introduced by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said the world faces a "full-scale climate emergency that threatens the future of civilization on earth."
Gore showed computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to submerge the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, parts of China, India and other nations, should ice shelves in Antarctica or Greenland melt and slip into the sea."The planet itself will do nicely, thank you very much what is at risk is human civilization," Gore said.
After a series of Q& A with the audience, which had little to do with global warming and more about his political future, Annan bid "adios" to Gore.
Then, Gore had his staff opened a stack of cardboard boxes to begin selling his new book, "An Inconvenient Truth, The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It," $19.95, to the U.N. diplomats.

Chris Matthews’ Dick Cheney Obsession
Last night I was watching the Chris Matthews Comedy Hour, often mistakenly referred to as Hardball, on MSNBC, which is often mistakenly referred to as a cable news network. Matthews was salivating over ”bombshell” guest, Bob Woodard, author of State of Denial, Woodward’s new “blockbuster book” (Matthews’s words – not mine).
Anyone who as watched the Chris Matthews show more than one time cannot help but notice his weird obsession with Vice President Dick Cheney. Last night it also became apparent to Bob Woodward just a few minutes into the interview when after the fifth or twenty-fifth Cheney question (or “Cheeney”, as Matthews calls the VP). This is the transcript:
MATTHEWS: Oh really? Well, let‘s talk about what Cheney—here is a man …
WOODWARD: Are you obsessed with Cheney?
MATTHEWS: No, I am …
WOODWARD: OK.
Matthews used to obsessed with Karl Rove during the Valerie Plame investigation, nightly promising his viewers that Rove would be indicted any minute now and frog-marched across the White House lawn just like Joe Wilson said. After the startling anouncement by Richard Armitage, right-hand man man to Matthew’s icon, General Colin Powell, that it was he who had leaked Valerie Plame’s name to Bob Novak, Matthews removed Karl Rove’s picture from his dartboard and has not spoken of or about Karl Rove since.
2008 Democratic National Convention
Yesterday a friend of mine sent me a copy of an email he had just received. He said it was mailed to him by the Democratic National Committee and was a draft of the agenda for the 2008 National Convention. I read it over and from what I understand about the Democratic party, it appears to be a legitimate. I’ll pass it on and let you make your own judgement.
