Al Gore, winner of the popular vote in 2000, and focus of the incredibly important 2006 documentary “An Inconvenient Truth”, today was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize — along with the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — for their work to alert the world to the threat of global warming.

As such, if we’re channeling the current administration, we are now required to say that this is just further proof that the international community is a failure. They ruined the UN, now they’ve ruined the Nobel Peace Prize. Shit, it was bad enough when they gave the prize to Jimmy Carter, but now you’ve given it to a liberal who’s actually still a relevant political figure!? What’s next? An award for “Most Abortions Performed in 2007″!?!?

Sheesh! Calm down “Administration”. How about we just offer congratulations, and hope that this endorsement of Gore’s efforts will add to the already justifiably high profile of an important environmental issue.

Cheers!
