To Gore or not to Gore,
That is the question;
Whether ’tis Nobel-Prizelier in the mind to suffer
The lies and forgings of outrageous emails
Or to take ridiculous measures against a sea of non-existant melting icebergs
and by assertion, effectively discredit them.
Vice-president no more; yet by this fame to say I have
An Oscar; and the thousand UN Praises
That Narcissism’s heir to;
’tis a consumation
Gaia-ly to be wisht
To have an Oscar;
Yet in that sleep of environmentalism
What dreams may come
When we can no longer “Hide the Decline”
Would really give us pause (if we were normal)…
– Black Mamba
Seriously. Was it the flour comment?
Okay, now you’re scraping the barrel (but thanks)!
Excellent work, mamba. I am in awe.
As well you should be.
Mamba,
that’s pretty good bad poetry, but don’t quit your day job…uhhmmm…unless you’re a poet.
Please stop this, and pay your Carbon Tax. Thank You.
as well we are… 🙂
Out, out brief Hamlet, for I am a man more sinned against than sinning.
Professor Stephen Schneider’s assistant requested armed UN security officers who held film maker Phelim McAleer, ordered him to stop filming and prevented further questioning after the press conference where the Stanford academic was launching a book.

Please people, stop all of this, and just pay the Carbon Tax. Thank You.
Thanks, Shawn, for the link to the UN thug security guard at the Copenhagen press conference.
Cross-posted earlier today in Reader Tips:
Re the suppression of debate at Copenhagen (thanks for the video, Robert W):
AMAZING.
So, the security guards at Copenhagen are thugs. Why does that come as no surprise? Leftists can’t tolerate being questioned and have to squelch opinions that differs from theirs — and belittle, humiliate, and bully anyone who voices them.
Disgusting. I’d send a copy of this to my MP but she’s a leftist and would probably whole-heartedly agree with the strong-arm tactics of the security guard and the “Professor’s” mealy-mouthed response as he ducks the question and any accountability for pro-AGW scientists’ tampering with the data.

Bravo! Black Mamba!There certainly is something rotten in Denmark!
Shawn: that video is shocking in it’s revelation of the squashing of free speech.
We now have the climate-enforcers on patrol.
Tip of the hat to you, Black Mamba.
Well and wittily said!
‘Definitely, not to Gore …
Hmmm, Black Mamba, have you been reading Kipling again?
Would the real Jim Prentice please stand up.
Tip of the hat to you, Black Mamba.
Well and wittily said!
‘Definitely, not to Gore …
The thing that hasn’t seem to sunk in with the the MSM is that the average non-scientist AGW denier can now match the AGW faithful smug for smug, self-rightous for self-rightous. This could really get ugly.
Tee-hee, bluetech!
This is one time when the popular misquotation—”Something’s rotten in Denmark”—is a real improvement on the original. But you ought to be careful around purists, who will also remember that the minor character Marcellus, and not Hamlet, is the one who coins the phrase. There’s a reason he says “state of Denmark” rather than just Denmark: the fish is rotting from the head down—all is not well at the top of the political hierarchy.
Tee-hee again.
I think that I shall never see
A bigger scoundrel than ‘zuki
And then you look at Fat Al Gore
What a slimey climate whore!
All apologies to Bliss Carman….pretty pathetic, I know! But I think that’s the only poem that survived those long-gone waste years.
***Okay, now you’re scraping the barrel****
Black Mamba, me thinks with a barreled shape one would need to work out at the GYM:-))))
Hey – you were up to come up with a number of lines – further than I got b4 I gve up. 🙂
well done….black mamba…Anne must kicking Bill’s butt about now.
siggghhhhh…..proof read proof read proof read…must “be” kicking…or is that the proof that tis the proof…that’s prooven?Oh.My head hurts
Well, not to get all sentimental, but Lord knows the cheque will be welcome, what with it being Christmas, and Tiny Tim needing that new candle and those warm mittens, bless him (brave little tyke had his heart set on Global Warming; carried around a picture of Al Gore in his pocket, he did, proud as punch. When those emails leaked over in Anglia it was as if he just gave up hope. Not that he complains, mind…)
Thanks Piper Paul.
It was the only one (of the many cliche’s we owe to Hamlet)that I could recall. And I still didn’t get it right. lol. Stinks,eh?
I mentioned on another thread that this awesome poetry would make a great published collection.
I’ve seen a few of these CRU emails.
Is the “wanting to beat the crap” out of someone an actual quote?
If it is, that’s cased closed.
Hang on, whaddayamean..?!
snagglepuss – That’s Joyce Kilmer, if I’m not mistaken. Bliss Carmen is pure Canadiana.
Nice Black Mamba – the first few lines of the second stanza are money
And, snagglepuss and larben – true that. Joyce Kilmer was killed in the First World War, and for trivia buffs – he’s buried not too far from Eddie Slovik, the only American to be shot for desertion since the Civil War.
More trivia – the well respected Canadian painter Goodridge Roberts was a nephew of Bliss Carmen. I mention this because of our previous conversations about the arts and funding thereof.
In the 1930, Roberts made $1.50 a week, lost five teeth, and had to lie down in the fields to regain his strength after painting. So, true artists are driven. Sadly, there are many dilettantes out there who don’t really merit public funding.
Black Mamba not included!
What rhymes with Bangladesh? Flesh and Marakesh, of course.
Yes larben & Erik…. so right!
Goes to show my recall re poetry is even worse than I thought.
Maybe I should stick with the old standby Nantucket. 😉
Or speaking of Bliss, there’s the naughty nonsense rhyme…
There once was a girl named Bliss
Who went to the lake for a swim
A man (da da da)
(Da da da da da)
And that’s why she has to wear glasses.
Good one ‘Black Mamba’.
