Should Al Gore Return Oscar? Peace Prize?

Gore Should Give Back Oscar, Two Academy Members Say
Friday, December 4, 2009 1:05 PM
By: James Hirsen Article Font Size
Two members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have called on the group to take back the Oscar awarded to former Vice President Al Gore for the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
Roger L. Simon and Lionel Chetwynd made the request based on the e-mails that a hacker/whistle blower released revealing that so-called scientists at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England systematically falsifying data to support the theory that the earth is heating up and that humans caused it.
"An Inconvenient Truth," a film based on a climate-change speech that Gore developed, won the Academy Award for best documentary feature in 2007. (Coincidentally, the next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore’s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household. )
That same year, the Academy elevated Gore's PowerPoint lecture, helping him to snag a Nobel Peace Prize as well.
The academy members' request that Gore return his statue is happening as preparations are under way for next week's United Nations climate change meeting in Copenhagen, where 16,500 people from 192 countries will fly in using private jets, consume 200,000 meals, and produce an estimated 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide, roughly the same as the carbon emissions of Morocco in 2006.

Some idiots out there have "evidence" that the Holocaust was all a shame. Maybe Steven Spielberg should return his Oscar for Schindler's List?

I guess count me in that crowd, I don't require much evidence beyond the history books.

The peace prize was shown to be a sham when Obama won this year. No meaning to that prize anymore.
As far as Academy Awards, Liberal actors are the only ones that are valued by Hollywood so who cares?

I must say that I admire Sarah Palin's intelligence. She should have won the peace prize based on her whoziwitzits and gotcha questions and dandilions and oh, what was I saying again? I'm slow.

Sarah Palin might launch Presidential bid at Iowa book-signing tour
Please, Lord, Please! Make it stop! Make the Republicans stop drinking.
There is mounting speculation that the former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is going to announce a possible presidential bid with a stop in Iowa during her national book-signing tour.
This is being speculated because Iowa’s caucuses have traditionally launched the presidential nominating season.

Palin isn't perfect, but she is the only politician who GETS IT. SHe's one of us...a REAL American who understands what we go through, not some kenyan playboy or some child molesting senator who gives out tug jobs in the bathroom. I support Palin because she will stick up for the little guy

Considering the President we have now, Pee Wee Herman would be a better deal
than Obama.

The reason most self-described "REAL Americans" shouldn't set foot near the White House:
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill O'Reilly: Let me be very bold and fresh again, do you believe that you are smart enough, incisive enough, intellectual enough to handle the most powerful job in the world?
Sarah Palin: I believe that I am because I have common sense and I have I believe the values that I think are reflective of so many other American values, and I believe that what Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the uhm, the ah, a kind of spineless, spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with some kind of elite, Ivy league education and, and a fat resume that is based on anything but hard work and private sector, free enterprise principles. Americans are could be seeking something like that in positive change in their leadership, I'm not saying that that has to be me.

Sorry, but I subbed out English courses for Fashion Merchandising at the sixteen different schools I attended to get my Bachelor's degree. My supporters are stupid, so they will understand my rogue speak. Here's my educational background. Notice my major is Communications.
- Hawaii Pacific University in the Fall of 1982,
- North Idaho College in the Spring and Fall of 1983,
- University of Idaho in the Fall of 1984 and Spring of 1985,
- Matanuska-Susitna College in the Fall of 1985,
- University of Idaho again in the Spring and Fall of 1986 and the Fall of 1987, when she received her Bachelor's degree in COMMUNICATIONS.
WTF??????
