Al Gore Wins!
OK, I’m sure you have all heard by now, Al Gore won the Noble Peace Prize. Big surprise. Here’s a few notes.
One, a Peace Prize for environmental awareness work? Explain. Explain to me how Al and the UN IPCC have helped stopped the genocide in Darfur, how they have limited conflict in Africa, how they have worked towards sectarian conflict resolution in Iraq—just throwing it out there.
Does this put him in line for a Presidential run? Even if it does, he has no shot. The machine is in motion. Hillary will be their nominee, barring a Howard Dean-esque meltdown. However, I do feel a little vindicated by the media for even suggesting it, as I brought it up at the beginning of the year.
Other notes are much better put by Patrick Michaels, who just happens to be a Noble winner from today as well. He is a Cato fellow and member of the UN IPCC. Check it out!
