"Now, we're putting it up for a vote. Decide which slogan Rush will see in his home town. The slogan with the most votes will be put on a billboard where Rush can't miss it. It's up to you to let Rush know that Americans reject his desire to see President Obama - and our country - fail.

"Thanks, Jen O'Malley Dillon , executive director, Democratic National Committee."
GORED AGAIN
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is up in arms all over again about former Vice President Al Gore's red-meat diet.
We wrote last year when PETA said the meat industry is the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions, and Mr. Gore's "a-steak-or-more-a-day habit isn't helping."
"Mr. Gore's own addiction to meat is adding to the very crisis he's devoting his life to stopping," noted PETA Vice President Bruce Friedrich.
A United Nations report confirms that raising animals for food generates about 40 percent more greenhouse gas emissions than all the cars, trucks, ships and planes in the world combined. PETA says a meat-based diet causes eight times more greenhouse gas emissions than a vegetarian diet.
Now, the animal rights group has filed an application with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in support of a new domain: OffsetAlGore.eco.
It would seek to make people aware of the harm Mr. Gore is personally causing to the environment. |
