Look for the Union Label

Al has a Nobel Peace Prize. Peace prize? What does global warming have to do with peace?

The plus side of it is that there are a couple of great commentaries that have been written as a result.

The Telegraph weighed in with a commentary that amused me. Lot's of good lines, but perhaps my favorite is:

But my favourite Gore memory lapse is his account of being sung to sleep with the lullaby Look for the Union Label, written in 1975. How sweet: being sung to sleep by your parents at the age of 27.

The Bayly Blog offers a good commentary on the Gore Nobel Peace Prize.

Here's a piece of it:

Yes, I'm completely disgusted. To think of this man who hired a consultant to help him shore up his virility index sharing the lectern with real men like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Mother Teresa is utterly revolting.

We have Darfur. We have seventy-five million or so unborn children slaughtered each year while nestled in their mothers' wombs...

We have malaria and AIDS creating many millions of widows and orphans each year across sub-Saharan Africa. We have the Middle East. We have nuclear weapons proliferating in an increasingly cowardly age of terrorism. But of course, Mr. Gore chose to be a prophet in behalf of the sky and the atmosphere and the climate.
