It looks like the poll might still be open:

Where's the "Hell no!" option?

Get over it, The debate's over, It's Bush's fault.

I would commmend you to Dr. Tim Ball's recent article:

The Master Hypocrite, Gore is also confused about global warming
Carbon Market Collapse Brings Gore Out Of Hiding

"Errors and false statements confirm once again he doesn’t understand the science. But that is not enough because he adds that ignorance to almost complete denial of the exposed fraud of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Gore personifies hypocrisy from his massive carbon footprint while telling others to live green, to the amount of money made from the carbon credit market. He completes the hypocrisy by hoping proposed cap and trade legislation supported by Senators John Kerry, Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman will succeed to, “place a true cap on carbon emissions and stimulate the rapid development of low-carbon sources of energy.” The credits at the end of the piece identify him, “As a businessman, he is an investor in alternative energy companies” all of which benefit from cap and trade."

It is patently obvious that the "Al Goracle" is shilling 'global warming' for his own personal benefit.

If he wants to get a doctoral degree, perhaps he should finish his divinity degree and at least be honest about the global warming religion he is preaching.

Seeing as the rest of us may already have a faith, we should not in the least be interested in what is becoming more and more obvious hot air.

Maybe he does deserve it. He's successfully scammed the world, made multi millions in the process, and gotten away with it. That's quite a feat isn't it?

Aside from being an enormous hypocrite and liar, what has he done?
I don't like the idea of handing out honorary awards, period.

The UTK Chancellor's statement was a cheeky thing to say.

Despite an overwhelming response from the great unwashed academia and the msm stick to their guns.

Unfortunately for them they have no ammo.

Ooops.

On a voluntary poll, why on earth would someone go to the bother of voting 'not sure'?
Apparently 33 dumkoffs did just that.

Linking to poll results sucks

Linking to vacuums sucks harder.

Gore's true motivation is to screw America over and get rich at the same time.

His revenge for being rejected by the American people.

The man should be sent to jail.

Obviously someone "hacked" the poll:)

or is it Gore is a hack?

Speaking of polls...it appears Mr. Arar has been too busy to restart his poll.

Sad that.

"It has been a lot colder than normal in the southern parts of the Baltic sea, but in the north all is normal with normal levels of ice," Gardebring said."

"Passenger Ships Stuck in Ice Off Sweden

Thirty to 40 ships -- including several passenger ships -- were stuck Thursday in ice off the coast of Sweden, said a spokesman for the Maritime Search and Rescue Center in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The area of the Baltic Sea worst hit by the ice were the waters bounded by mainland Sweden, the Stockholm archipelago and the Finnish island of Aland, said Tommy Gardebring, press officer with the Swedish Maritime Administration.

Several passenger vessels from Viking Line were stuck, he said. One of them had been freed.

"It has been a lot colder than normal in the southern parts of the Baltic sea, but in the north all is normal with normal levels of ice," Gardebring said.

...Activist ‘Green’ Lawyers Billing U.S. Millions in Fraudulent Attorney Fees...

Interesting story.

pretty much every week - if not every day - we find new stories of "green fraud".

The green people are quite a dishonest bunch.

I know its the wrong state ,but the name Tennessee just makes dueling banjos ring in my ears.

Two things about Al Gore... 1)In 1992 he was in a tough position(politically)to retain his Senate seat in Tennesee(when he was up for re-election).He jumped at the chance to be Vice President when offered the position by Bill Clinton to be his running mate...2)In the 2000 Presidential election he and the Democratic Party fought tooth and nail over the Florida election results,whose electoral votes,would have put him over the top and made him President.The MSM has pounded away at the Florida story incessantly to this day about how George W. stole that election.Perhaps he did.However,the one fact the MSM does not seem to ever want to talk about is that,in the 2000 election,Al Gore also lost the state of Tennesee and all it's electoral votes.Those electoral votes from Tennesee would also have made Mr. Gore President of the United States...that is how close that Presidential election was. Al Gore is from Tennesee and could not win his home state...Hmmm...I think one would be hard pressed to find a Presidential candidate (Democrat or Republican)that did not win their home state in a Presidential election.Just what was it about Al that made the people of Tennesee vote against one of their own when he needed them most?

Oh, geez. Now I need a new keyboard.

Al is getting creamed in the Knoxville poll, can't stand the man myself.

I think you may have conjugated the verb.

The hill folk of Tennessee are not amused. Even the inbreds know a pig in a poke when they see one.
( Not to diss Tennesseeans, Intelligent friendly people,and they have the Oak Ridge Complex to prove it.)

Well I'm not necessarily aginst him getting a degree, providing it's an honourary degree in Modern Mythology.

I wonder if the author would have supported Nixon getting an honourary degree from UCLA.

How about Spiro Agnew getting one from the university of Maryland?

How about Nobel winner Yassir Arafat?

Sometimes fame is followed up with infamy.

Atric

So you have intimate knowledge into the breeding habits of folks in Tennessee?

Are you an anthropologist?

BTW the second sentence is totally contradicted by the first.

Syncro

Thanks for the tip, andycanuck. Voting has never been such a pleasure.

The majority of the comments in the Knoxville News seem to favour tarring and feathering Mr. Gore as opposed to bestowing honours on him.

What is disturbing however, are the comments arrogantly insisting that the "science is settled" and issuing challenges to prove that the "science" is flawed. This in spite of a growing mountain of evidence that Global Warming is far from the apocalyptic boogeyman that it is being made out to be.

I'm no scientist but I believe that it should be the other way around. Prove that the "science" is, in fact, correct.

This guy should be arrested and charged with fraud. he is making a fortune off his scam

Riddle: What's the difference between Copenhagen and Pamplona?

Answer: In Pamplona, you can get Gored by a bull.

Not in the least Synchro.
I never suggested that inbreds were unintelligent.
I was referring to their bucolic environment and how their agrarian lifestyle, although bereft of academic influence, could distinguish between right and wrong. Or if you prefer, Bulls#it and Bouquets.
No, I am not an anthropologist. Relax, it was supposed to be a light hearted comment. Hence the disclaimer.
End of discussion.

Al Gore being sued - this story just makes my day!:

http://patriotsforamerica.ning.com/video/video/show?id=2734278:Video:100997&xgs=1

My bad...story a year old...can't believe I hadn't heard of it until now.

I think the editorial writer got it wrong, Gore's career is not similar to Sen. Baker's, it is more similar to Dolly Parton's, involving a great deal of artificial puffery, and no real substance.

I assume the university is sucking up for some of those carbon billions that algore hopes to scam in years to come. And maybe there will be a bailout for a reliable newspaper supporter. It speaks well of the readers that they can rise above he "he's one of ours" syndrome and object.

I think I will get a bottle of "Jackie D" and toast my Southern Engineering Friends.....

(Southern Engineers will only share their Jackie D with friends)

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this in their local Subway restaurant...

I noticed there was a sign on the counter that read something to this effect:

"Due to recent adverse weather conditions we are running low on green peppers and tomatoes. We may have to limit the amount on your sandwich"

So I ask the kid what the deal was, and he says most of the crops were wrecked by cold weather. And they're located in California.

I'm with Chrisin mb @ 3.44.It's time to examine the financial & political machinery of the climate cartel.

I think you may have conjugated the verb.

Syncro

I haven't conjugated anything,yet. I'm having a bit of trouble with this vaccuum thing. It doesn't mtter if I set the beater brush for deep pile or bare floor,everytime I put anything in there it jams up and shuts down. Hurts like hell too. HELP !!

Hey,the poll's still open! I just voted "not f***ing likely",or words to that effect

Atric

I stand corrected. So what's yer take on Knut?

Wallyj

Sounds like you need a dust buster.

Syncro

How effin stupid does someone need to be to even suggest that Gore be awarded anything at this point?

Here's a suggestion for all the leftards who still cling to the idea that Gore was "Robbed" of the 2000 presidential spot by Dubya .....

It is GORE's fault that Bush WAS elected!

Al Gore is a prick through to the core and NO one who has anything to do with him hangs around for long.

Tennessee voters wanted him GONE from their state and it was their doing that he lost the election.

Heh, the tools that voted YES for the goracle are numbered at 666 right now, out of 13,808.

Idfarrer:
You are correct in saying that if Gore had won Tennessee in 2000,the Preidency would be his. This has happened before, (McGoverin, Alf Landon, Adlai Stevenson), but usually a presidential candidate should be able to carry his state. Al Gore had 2 generations of name recognition, had Senate and 8 years VP experience, and still could not do it. His neighbours, who know him best, did not vote for him. Seems tonight that they stll aren't.

ET calls Obama a narcissist, but what about Uncle Al?

"Is the former vice president not-so-secretly a narcissistic, shameless phony?"

"There may be a medical explanation for what makes Al Gore tick. On the basis of his actions and writings over many years my guess is Gore suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The criteria for this diagnosis, as described in the psychiatrist's bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, include a "pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts," as indicated by these manifestations:"

hudson duster at March 4, 2010 7:26 PM, hit the nail on the head, hit the bulls eye.

Follow the money, can’t go wrong 97.7% of the time.

The interesting thing is, the universities, being socialist organizations or rather inhabited by socialist aristocrats, are set against free enterprise (capitalism).
The professors like to talk about capitalism as though it was some kind of plague.
They do love to confiscate the capitalist’s money in ever greater amounts.

I would suggest they change "honorary degree" to "change in academic status."

Biff @ 6:29
Too true. Some of the groups adding their comments to the CRU inquiry are the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Royal Statistical Society, and the Institute of Physics. Transparency should soon be brought back to science. Openness will hopefully follow, because it would be a shame for academia to ignore the next Einstein because he/she is working as a patent clerk....

Algore deserves to have his likeness printed on all rolls of white swan from this day on!!!!

Good one.

I called this one.

I am still waiting for that slimy bastard to be charged under the RICO Act. Mr Gore meet Mr RICO.

You can always count on the MSM to be completely out of touch with their readers.
Even the loyalists must be ready to go back To news reality. Not the socialist lying sloop served up by them daily.
Even the Stockholm syndrome ridden, must be ready to flip?

Let's see:
