		<description><![CDATA[In an odd statement sent]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an odd statement sent today, Osama Bin Laden sent a message about a new evil of the United States &#8211; and the best way to bring us down. This time, though, it comes straight out of An Inconvenient Truth. Bin Laden is now on record as being <a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100129/D9DHDH582.html" target="_blank">very concerned about Global Warming</a>.</p>
<p>I type as I sit here waiting for the blizzard of 2010 to hit the East.</p>
<p><a href="http://leggomycraigo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/spec_trop6_277x187.jpg" rel="wp-prettyPhoto[g880]"><img class="size-full wp-image-881 alignnone" title="easternstorm2010" src="http://leggomycraigo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/spec_trop6_277x187.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Much like the Al Goracle, Bin Laden sees the United States as the cause of this weather chaos, and his plan to stop it is to bring down our industry a bit. The last time someone spoke with such boldness, they won a Nobel Peace Prize. And if you are concerned that the little terrorism side of him would hurt his chances, <a href="http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1994/" target="_blank">Yassar Arafat</a> would disagree.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-882" title="binladenalgore" src="http://leggomycraigo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/binladenalgore-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></p>
<p>If he can&#8217;t win the peace prize, Senator Bin Laden could be in the future if he ran as a Democrat. Ok, ok&#8230;.that&#8217;s a little extreme. Though he blames Bush and corporations for climate change, wants us to join Kyoto, sides with the Palestinians in the middle east, and is an avid fan of Noam Chomsky.</p>
<blockquote><p>Bin Laden notes that &#8216;Noam Chomsky (the US academic and political  commentator) was correct when he compared the US policies to those of  the Mafia.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The recording hasn&#8217;t been confirmed, so it may all be a hoax. But the irony is that the hoax is on us (if you&#8217;ve paid attention to the past few month&#8217;s <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704342404574576683216723794.html" target="_blank">ClimateGate</a>, <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6991177.ece" target="_blank">HimalayanGate</a>, and uh..<a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7004936.ece" target="_blank">IPCCgate </a>)&#8230; and even Osama&#8217;s <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1247033/Now-Osama-bin-Laden-gets-worried-global-warming.html" target="_blank">alleged idea to bring the country to its knees</a> isn&#8217;t too far off from Cap and Trade.</p>
<p>Other excerpts from <strong>An Inconvenient Beard</strong></p>
<p>Talk about climate change is not an ideological luxury but a  reality,&#8217; he said.</p>
<p><em>&#8216;All of the industrialised countries,  especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global warming  crisis.&#8217;</em></p>
<p><em>He added that while wealthy nations had agreed to the  Kyoto Protocol that binds them to emission targets, former U.S.  President George W Bush had later rejected such limitations before  Congress in deference to big business.</em></p>
<p><em>The United States never  ratified the existing Kyoto Protocol, whose present commitments expire  in 2012, and has said it will not sign up to an extended Kyoto Protocol,  preferring a new agreement.</em></p>
<p><strong>If it wasn&#8217;t already, the science is definitely now settled. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Just kidding.</strong></em> It&#8217;s not a religious picture covered or sitting in human waste, so it won&#8217;t qualify for NEA funds. Pick the right establishment targets or its on your own dime.</p>
<p>Incidentally, this is very timely since apparently this first whack of cold is just a free preview of the coldest winter in almost 3 decades. See the Weather Channel&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://www.weather.com/newscenter/nationalforecast/index.html" target="_blank">Next Arctic Blast Colder and a Serious Threat</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>&#8230;In Alaska the &#8220;Frozen Gore&#8221; ice sculpture for display in front of a liquor store. This year&#8217;s version features Gore blowing smoke &#8212; but only when a truck <a href="http://www.adn.com/3437/story/1080124.html" target="_blank">exhaust is connected.</a></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Updated stories below.</strong></span> Perhaps not, but even the most religious Global Warming believer has gotta be having trouble holding their signs up in 18 degree temperatures. In the deep South. It&#8217;s the coldest stretch of winter (especially in late Dec./early Jan) I can recall in my lifetime. It&#8217;s getting so cold out there, you almost need to falsify climate data to keep the dream alive. <a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100017393/climategate-the-final-nail-in-the-coffin-of-anthropogenic-global-warming/" target="_blank">Oh wait.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://leggomycraigo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Goracle1.jpg" rel="wp-prettyPhoto[g694]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-697" title="Goracle1" src="http://leggomycraigo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Goracle1-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t care so much if a massive freedom-destroying and economic growth busting cap and trade bill wasn&#8217;t on the icy horizon. I guess they&#8217;re hoping we&#8217;re too busy shoveling our driveways to notice.</p>
<p>Only two possibilities occur in my mind. Either we need to do the lefty favorite of beginning to question the establishment thinking on global warming, or Obama is ahead of schedule in his promise to lower the rising seas and solve global warming.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s just<strong> this week&#8217;s</strong> news from the weather front. (yes, that&#8217;s why global warming has now been called &#8220;climate change&#8221;..because colder or hotter, we&#8217;re causing it. You plastic bag using, meat eating, capitalist freak.)</p>
<p><a href="http://leggomycraigo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/article-0-07BEF108000005DC-387_634x286.jpg" rel="wp-prettyPhoto[g694]"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-702" title="article-0-07BEF108000005DC-387_634x286" src="http://leggomycraigo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/article-0-07BEF108000005DC-387_634x286-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>But the best evidence..better than any news article, scientific study, or algore powerpoint presentation is to just (try) to go outside.</p>

Hope you weren&#8217;t planning on buying oranges this year.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Is there anything this man]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is there anything this man cannot do? Albert gore, the face of the global warming (or climate change?) movement is a man of so many talents. As a blizzard blows outside in mid-December in one of the <a href="http://www.accuweather.com/news-top-headline.asp?partner=accuweather&amp;traveler=0&amp;date=2009-12-17_17:00">biggest blizzards for this time of year in modern history</a>, I cannot helped but be moved.</p>
<p>I laugh with everyone else at George W. Bush&#8217; incoherent babbling. Not many took him seriously by the end of his second term. The real humor is that people still listen to Al Gore with eyes wide open (like the guy doing the interview). Behold his incoherent truth. Do not let this shake your faith. (<a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/12/17/video-al-gore-and-harry-smith-share-a-moment/" target="_blank">via HotAir Blog</a>)</p>
<p>For me this is, indeed, poetic irony. With a straight (dare I say solemn) face, Al Gore warns us of what will happen if we don&#8217;t change our polluting ways. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1236497/STEPHEN-GLOVER-50-days-save-world-I-listen-doomsayers-werent-ludicrous-hypocrites.html?ITO=1490">Yes, this Al Gore.</a></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dIjeVcbg9iY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dIjeVcbg9iY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another take on the poem, from a somewhat less &#8220;leg tingling&#8221; audience&#8230;&#8230;</p>
