UPDATE: Welcome, NY Times readers. Since you’re used to reading fibs, you’ll really enjoy Hugh Hewitt’s catalogue of Gore’s 25-years of lies, linked to below!
I also recommend my recent, highly controversial post declaring that there aren’t any poor people in America.

Al Gore’s junk science environmentalism has inspired millions of, er, heated arguments, made little children cry, ruined countless first dates, and contributed to one high profile divorce.
So of course he wins a “Peace” Prize.
Another Alfred — Nobel — endowed his famous prize as a “Winchester House” style conscience sop. He’d invented dynamite, to blast away rock during mining. Naturally, dynamite’s until-then-unmatched ability to blast away human beings was discovered shortly thereafter, to Nobel’s eternal shame.
Luckily, he didn’t live to see the prize handed out to Arafat…
If Al Gore is a decent man, thirty years from now, having finally admitted he was wrong about global warming, he will endow a new prize, to be presented annually to a man or woman who tried to undo the incalculable damage done by An Inconvenient Truth.
I hereby nominate Bjorn Lomborg as its first recipient…
Meanwhile, I can think of no better way to commemorate this special occasion than by directing you to two other sites:
* re-read Hugh Hewitt’s classic litany of Gore’s lies, “Gorelero”, which only goes up to the year 2000.
Here’s a sample:
Read More...In the fall of 1968 Al Gore claimed that he’d influenced the nomination acceptance speech of Hubert Humphrey through conversations with a Chicago Sun columnist. Al Gore asserted he was Humphrey’s ghost writer, but the columnist said that he had nothing to do with that speech. Al Gore’s claim wasn’t true.
