ALRIGHT!!!!!! WOOOTTTT!!!!

Soooo.... I happen to have a minute; and decided to check the news for a possible story for the blog (i.e. something that actually matters to me)...


Any how some very good news in my humble opinion. Al Gore (and some U.N. Committee =P) won the nobel peace prize!

Former Vice President Al Gore and the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their work to raise awareness about global warming.
CNN.com asked readers to share their thoughts on the Nobel Prize, global warming and Gore's selection. The response was overwhelming.

Many readers offered congratulations to the former vice president, while others expressed disdain for him. Some readers said it was a poor choice, while others flat out dismissed global warming as pseudoscience.

Below is a selection of those responses, some of which have been edited for length and clarity:

Roy Woodcock of Rochester, Washington
What a disgraceful choice. Al Gore has promoted bad science and dishonesty, but done nothing to promote peace. I must conclude that his selection is based on pure politics.

George Burns of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts
I can only imagine how upset Bill "looking for my legacy" Clinton is that he didn't win it. Mr. Clinton really thought he had a chance at it when he tried to broker piece between [Yasser] Arafat and [Ehud] Barak. Arafat, another Nobel Peace Prize winner, rejected Barak's offer of everything Arafat wanted. ... Jimmy Carter, another Nobel Peace Prize winner, got North Korea to "promise" to terminate their nuclear weapons program. How'd that work out?

Mr. Gore is in great company.

While some of you may hate Gore he is my personal favorite for president. I really hope this helps to push him towards a run.

Happy Labor Day!

I just wanted to post today for you 5 people... and say happy labor day. Now, let me ruin it for you.


Why is it we have a national holiday for labor; yet none of our national leaders stand up for labor?

the minimum wage still sucks. Jobs are dependent on your ability to adhere to the corporations schedule as opposed to their ability to take care of you; the companies esteemed employee.

Why do the Brits have a Labor Party; and we're stuck with Democrats... or... *wretch* Republicans? Why do WE have to pick between the lesser of two evils. Don't they know We're the ones with the power? Do WE even know we're the ones with the power?





Happy Labor Day!

Now make your government support Labor!

So We May Pay More to Keep PREDS???

Thanks to Kleinheider For Posting this Video!

The Investor Group wants us to ante up $15,000,000-$18,000,000 ($3,000,000 -$5,000,000 more of our tax dollars) for them to buy out the preds contract and keep them in Nashville.


While Karl and Bob both take a line of "the Public needs to be involved. The public needs to be fully informed and aware of whats going on as this process goes forward." and "they(the local investors) Really need to open it up, they've got everyone on their side now. I'm for full disclosure{...} first of all they need to share the information, and a lot of the information is being sealed." respectively...

What I would like to know is will our Next Mayor sell us out to a local investor group? Our Schools have issues, our Police Department has morale issues; and these investors want us to throw 3 to 5 million of our tax dollars into a sports venture? I know how much the predators help downtown businesses, but with a proper business plan a sports team is not necessary for a business to succeed in the Downtown District of a Metropolitan city.

Secondly, Why do we want to spend our tax dollars on a sports team that our citizens don't want to see? If the Predators had high enough ticket sales a move would be impossible; yet these sales goals CANNOT be reached. If Nashville Doesn't want the team here, then its time to let the move occur and put these tax dollars back to good use.

and heres an idea... How about if your a fan... Save up the $731 and buy a season pass? it only takes 5,000 to keep the team...

just a thought from a very dark room.
