Gore?s Son Arrested for DUI, Drugs Found in Prius
- Thread starter DR STRANGELOVE
- Start date
Xanax, vaium, vicodin and aderol....
He's obviously blowing all the $$ he's saving on gas at the local pharmacy.

If he was my old man I'd be gopped up on goop too. Imagine getting a lecture about anything from that guy. I'd fall asleep.
his mom had it out for Zappa in the late 70s and all "sexy" song lyrics in general. Of course you are going to rebel from that and let the angst run through your veins until you find a good dealer.
The stupid thing is smoking reefer, going 100 MPH on I-5 at 2:00 AM with drugs in your vehicle. Even if you're not the son of the creator of the Internet, it's stupid. That's just asking for it and it's a good thing he didn't crash that Prius. I wonder if he was listening to Panty Rap when the man pulled him over.

Most of us would have got charged with possession of marij , driving under the influence of drugs , possession of a legend drug and paraphanila !!!! Must be nice to be rich :nono: :shrug: :SIB
Any mention of what this guy's father is trying to accomplish tomorrow with huge concerts all over the world?:shrug:
Earlier this year, Republican leaders in the Senate refused Gore?s request to host one of the concerts on the Capitol grounds facing the Washington Monument. The denial came after Gore testified before House and Senate panels in March about what he calls a "true planetary emergency."
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., who has called global warming a hoax, led the move to squash the Capitol concert. A spokesman said at the time that Inhofe objected to using the Capitol for events that are partisan or politically controversial. Inhofe said the "Gore concert is both." He did not immediately return a phone call Friday.
Gore, a Democrat, said Friday that global warming "is not a political issue; it?s a moral issue. Nevertheless, some of the issues will have to be worked out in the political system."
Gore said he was pleased that the concert would be audible at both the Capitol and the White House.
"A couple of the global warming deniers tried to deny it with parliamentary maneuvers," he said. "The cavalry didn?t come riding to the rescue; the American Indians did."

Forecasting Bet
Last week we told you about an expert in forecasting who challenged Al Gore to a $10,000 bet over who could more accurately predict global temperature increases.
Professor Scott Armstrong contends that most climate change forecasts use bad methodology, and that global temps will not rise dramatically as Gore predicts.
Now the professor has received his answer from Gore ? thanks, but no thanks.

Alarmist global warming claims melt under scientific scrutiny
June 30, 2007
BY JAMES M. TAYLOR
In his new book, The Assault on Reason, Al Gore pleads, "We must stop tolerating the rejection and distortion of science. We must insist on an end to the cynical use of pseudo-studies known to be false for the purpose of intentionally clouding the public's ability to discern the truth." Gore repeatedly asks that science and reason displace cynical political posturing as the central focus of public discourse.
If Gore really means what he writes, he has an opportunity to make a difference by leading by example on the issue of global warming.
A cooperative and productive discussion of global warming must be open and honest regarding the science. Global warming threats ought to be studied and mitigated, and they should not be deliberately exaggerated as a means of building support for a desired political position.
Many of the assertions Gore makes in his movie, ''An Inconvenient Truth,'' have been refuted by science, both before and after he made them. Gore can show sincerity in his plea for scientific honesty by publicly acknowledging where science has rebutted his claims.
For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame."
Gore claims the snowcap atop Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro is shrinking and that global warming is to blame. Yet according to the November 23, 2003, issue of Nature magazine, "Although it's tempting to blame the ice loss on global warming, researchers think that deforestation of the mountain's foothills is the more likely culprit. Without the forests' humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine."
Gore claims global warming is causing more tornadoes. Yet the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated in February that there has been no scientific link established between global warming and tornadoes.
Gore claims global warming is causing more frequent and severe hurricanes. However, hurricane expert Chris Landsea published a study on May 1 documenting that hurricane activity is no higher now than in decades past. Hurricane expert William Gray reported just a few days earlier, on April 27, that the number of major hurricanes making landfall on the U.S. Atlantic coast has declined in the past 40 years. Hurricane scientists reported in the April 18 Geophysical Research Letters that global warming enhances wind shear, which will prevent a significant increase in future hurricane activity.
Gore claims global warming is causing an expansion of African deserts. However, the Sept. 16, 2002, issue of New Scientist reports, "Africa's deserts are in 'spectacular' retreat . . . making farming viable again in what were some of the most arid parts of Africa."
Gore argues Greenland is in rapid meltdown, and that this threatens to raise sea levels by 20 feet. But according to a 2005 study in the Journal of Glaciology, "the Greenland ice sheet is thinning at the margins and growing inland, with a small overall mass gain." In late 2006, researchers at the Danish Meteorological Institute reported that the past two decades were the coldest for Greenland since the 1910s.
Gore claims the Antarctic ice sheet is melting because of global warming. Yet the Jan. 14, 2002, issue of Nature magazine reported Antarctica as a whole has been dramatically cooling for decades. More recently, scientists reported in the September 2006 issue of the British journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Series A: Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, that satellite measurements of the Antarctic ice sheet showed significant growth between 1992 and 2003. And the U.N. Climate Change panel reported in February 2007 that Antarctica is unlikely to lose any ice mass during the remainder of the century.
Each of these cases provides an opportunity for Gore to lead by example in his call for an end to the distortion of science. Will he rise to the occasion? Only time will tell.

Dogs,
If you ever want to see what scientist say about your article on global warming instead of an attorney at a "institute" backed by Exxon and Big Tobacco, here's a link:
http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2007/07/glenn_reynolds_calls_al_gore_a.php
I can't stand Al Gore because he grew a sack only once he got paid and his wife made it very hard to get Motley Crue records into my house as a teen, and I don't think that Global Warming should be THE issue that the dems run on, but is the jury still out? with the scientists?
