No Love for Al

Gregg Easterbrook sez:
"Once Gore was out of power and global-warming proposals no longer carried a political cost -- indeed, could be used for self-promotion -- suddenly Gore discovered his intense desire to demand that other leaders do what he had not! It is a triumph of postmodernism that Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for no specific accomplishment other than making a movie of self-praise. Gore caused no peace nor led any reconciliation of belligerent parties nor performed any service to the dispossessed, the achievements the Peace Prize was created to honor. All Gore did was promote himself from Hollywood, and for this, he gets a Nobel. Very postmodern."
Dang. See "Those Hollywood Searchlights Around Gore's Home Sure Eat Power" for yourself at [clicky].

Easterbrook (I met him once and he seems really smart) makes some points. Every week he makes some points.
