People send me stuff.
Today I learned via Twitter from baseball great Jose Canseco that Al Gore is dead. And here I thought it was just Futurama that thought this:
Jose doesn’t stop there, nooooo, he adds that if we don’t keep fight global warming by wearing flannel pajamas and recycling, and stopping our mass consumption, the polar bears are toast and we are all going to fry.
You really can’t make this stuff up. Here’s Jose’s twitter feed capture:
Predictably, the reaction on Jose’s Twitter Feed is as colorful as many on field arguments in baseball we’ve come to know.
Update: this juxtaposition from earlier in his Twitter Feed is priceless:
Yes, let’s stop all that “mass consumption”.
*For those of you unfamiliar with the pun I made in the title, it is one of the all time great movie lines uttered by Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own.
h/t to Eric Nielsen for bringing my attention to this over at The Slanch Report
Who was it that said she liked her men big and dumb?………………..
I’m not sure which is worse. That Jose Canseco is “political” or that someone actually follows his Tweets. That guy was a ass clown even when he was a productive (if tainted) baseball player. Obnoxious, multiple speeding tickets, illegal firearms, beating up girlfriends, stalking Madonna, steroids, coke, and on and on.
Another great reason to ignore US baseball
Steroids are bad……m’kay

I don’t know Canseco’s politics or beliefs, but it almost sounds like he is parodying real alarmists in his tweets. If he’s not and he’s being sincere and serious, then ..just wow.
I hope this is the result of his account getting hacked, because if those are his actual thoughts then I’m concerned for his safety.
In an earlier post, I got finger-wagged for a satirical comment pointing out something absurd, and was invited to “contribute something of substance.”
Ohhhhhkay.

And elsewhere, he’s bragging about going 186 mph in his car. He loves the Earth so much, he like to wrap it in his snuggly carbon footprint
REPLY: Thanks, added that one. Bizarre. – Anthony
Why is Anthony following Jose Canseco?
I mean the days of Canseco and McGuire in Oakland was decades ago…
I think Jose should run for congress. He makes about as much sense as most and seems much smarter than others.
Another ‘climate expert’. I never knew he took so many balls to the head.
Hole Families. Yup. We have a winner. A Moron in Jammies.
wow he is almost as smart as Rick Perry
Under the post I get an advertisement “Know the warning signs of Alzheimer.”
Sometimes google’s pattern matching gets spooky.
reduce reuse recycle morons class in session i complete you of to practice…
All your base are belong to us
Those who twitter shall be known as twits. Jose is a role model for that subspecies.
Baseball been belly belly good to me.
And, next question, what do you think of the log effect wrt increasing CO2 levels?
Well, let me jus say, baseball been belly belly good to me.
ROTFL :
You just know a cause is well and truly lost when Jose Canseco is supporting it……
Mmmmm, polar bear toast!
Damn. Now I’m hungry.
Does anyone know what his lifestyle is like? Is he frugal? You normally find many who berate humans are in fact hypocrites. Al Gore immediately springs to mind.
Omigawd. I read some of his twitts. (Tweets? Tweats?) I could feel brain cells fleeing through my ears in protest.
“Hole families used to sleep in one big bed and produce no waste.”
Well, yes, Jose, they could do that because they were all dead by age 14. A dead person is a green person.
For a while, anyway.

Laugh my asp off!! Brilliant
No wonder he hit home runs he was too (fill in the blank) to read the signs from 3rd base for bunt, take a pitch etc.
If Al Gore had died and was replaced with animatronics so his image would still be useful to “the cause”, could you tell?
Well his wife would notice and complain, citing “…’til death do us part” as her escape clause, and want to distance herself from the deception somehow… Oh wait, that happened.
Dear Lord, I hope the controlling computer has strong protections to prevent inadvertently activating the “chakra release” function. Better include a hardwired safety curtain to make sure everyone is at least the minimum safe distance away.
Flannel pyjamas? With all this global warming I don’t wear pyjamas any more, an extra 0.8°C and the heat is killing me.
