All across the country today Neo-con heads are spinning -- a la Linda Blair in The Exorcist -- upon the news of Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Is now a good time to ask Mr. Gore to save us from the clutches of hell by, pretty please, running for president? I know this may seem a bit selfish, but, at this point Mr. Gore, your country needs you more than does the world.
There seems to be a lot of angst among the liberal blogosphere about the possibility of an "October Surprise" next year, perhaps another terrorist attack, in an effort to elect Republicans. Why would it occur to anyone that another attack will result in continued Republican rule? The Democrats need to repeat this mantra, early and often: It happened on their watch. It happened on their watch.
The Republicans were in control on 9-11, and they completely ignored the intelligence that we were about to be attacked. Call me crazy, but I think another attack will result in an immense Democratic landslide in 2008. Remember: it happened on their watch.
My vegetarian friends are feeling smug nowadays, what with the recent report that methane from the world's livestock are a major contributor to global warming. Personally, I don't think this report in any way validates the vegetarian lifestyle. After all, we as a species evolved largely as a result of our change from being an herbivore to an omnivore. Instead, I think the report merely validates a far more insidious fact: the world is dangerously over-populated, and we are rapidly beginning to exceed the earth's carrying capacity.
