Let's see what happens when we put two mutually exclusive ideas together...Shall we?


Al Gore seen as possible winner of 2007 Nobel Peace Prize by Wilfred Vuillaume

OSLO (AFP) - Former US vice president Al Gore is seen as a possible winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to save the planet from global warming, the head of the Oslo Peace Research Institute has said.

?The issue of global warming is also very topical and ... it wouldn?t be impossible for the Nobel committee to honour a person combatting this threat. In such case, Al Gore ... seems to me to be a possible candidate,? the institute?s head, Stein Toennesson told AFP Thursday.

Two Norwegian members of parliament have nominated Al Gore jointly with Sheila Watt-Cloutier, a Canadian who represents more than 150,000 fellow Inuits in the Inuit Circumpolar Conference and who has campaigned to draw attention to climate change in the Arctic.

?This is clearly some of the most import conflict prevention work that is being done. Climate change could lead to enormous waves of refugees, the likes of which the world has never seen before,? Heidi Soerensen, a Socialist Left MP who nominated Gore and Watt-Cloutier, told daily Aftenposten on Thursday.

"A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference," Conservative Member of Parliament Boerge Brende, a former minister of environment and then of trade, told The Associated Press.

Brende said he joined political opponent Heidi Soerensen, of the Socialist Left Party, to nominate Gore as well as Canadian Inuit activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier before the nomination deadline expired Thursday.

Making a difference is all it takes to win a Nobel Peace prize.

Didn't Adolf Hitler make a difference?
How about Joseph Stalin?

And Mr. Gore refuses to actually debate anyone who may dispute his ass-ursions.

Who in the hell believes that AlGore has done anything to deserve any consideration here?

Oh, I remember...

I guess if Jimmy Carter can win one for slamming Jews while he's building houses for folks that are too lazy to help themselves in Georgia, AlGore must also be deserving.

Sometimes I just want to wrap duct tape around my head so that it doesn't explode.
