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
Twitter is; as has already been mentioned; for twits. IMHO it’s basically a waste of cyberspace – a tiny snippet media outlet for folk who cannot string more than a few words together! The need to impart one’s every daily thought to others is rather sad – but even worse is those who need to ‘follow’ the thoughts of others – sheep/lemmings instantly spring to mind!!
Some time ago, I proposed a different name – replacing the ‘i’ in Twitter, and Twits – with an ‘a’. I find this most appropriate…..
Nice to see Al baby reduces his carbon footprint in the future – that Al-in-a-can machine is solar powered, right?
Want some more dumb?
Here’s an NPR blog by a physicist, Dr. Adam Frank, in which he maintains that the climate changes: http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2012/03/29/149411018/climate-controversy-and-strangers-on-a-plane
My stars! Can you believe that?
Especially damaging was the one that bounced off his head and over the fence for a home run.

Another ‘climate expert’. I never knew he took so many balls to the head.

A little over two years ago, the arthritic pain in my ankle became unbearable; I could barely walk. An injection of steroids directly into the joint provided almost immediate pain relief. Twenty four hours later, I no longer needed my cane. Within a week, the pain in my lower back had diminished to the point where I no longer needed opiate analgesia. Performance-enhancing drugs are good… m’kay?
I do so wish that some sort of performance-enhancing drugs could be given to our politicians…

Who was it that said she liked her men big and dumb?………………..
I believe another quote about one of her paramours was: “The lift stops at the neck.”
If he wants me to freeze in my house without heating I’ll take a polar bear skin robe to wrap myself in. That should keep me nice and toasty.
Hmm, has a ball bounce off his head (for a home-run) while playing center field, gets the living daylights whalloped out of him doing some silly punch-kicker thing, and now shills for the CAGW industry.
I am shocked.
No fair, Anthony.
Thinking targets are a greater challenge 🙂
Jose Canseco tweeted: “Al Gore is a head of his time.”
I guess Jose watches Futurama, too!
Everyone’s got one. Celebrities’ are bigger.
I wonlder how many polar bears per mile the Caddy consumes 😉
“hole families…” I don’t get it. Does he mean clusters of holes? If he really wants to go all-in deprivation, he should look to rural N Korea for a societal model. They have no power consumption and are so close to the earth they eat dirt. In addition, they have become significantly smaller as a result of their lifestyle. They don’t need as much dirt as they did in the past.
I guess he decided to go “green” after the bank took away his 7300 square foot house.

.. but then again maybe he was already buying indulgences from Pope Al (RIP).
I’ve always found Jose to be a reasonable, sober guy…
And in a very clever way, he’s right. Al Gore is dead, when it comes to AGW.

===========================================
I should slap you for making me go there and read that garbage !!
Some extremely malinformed commenters there !!
This is why baseball players don’t get Nobel Prizes.

Seems the Jose is FOR SALE
So why does this moron think Gore is dead? Not that I would shed a tear if he was….
Propaganda works in funny ways.
No more polar bears to recycle clowns, no more recycling polar bear clowns, no more clowns with cycling bears. (h/T Jose Canseco).
Now all we need is for Dr. Gleick to find a document showing Heartland Institute funding Jose Canseco. That one I could almost believe.
Hah! That’s great! Turn off your heat compeletly at night in January in these parts and you’ll wake up to a flooded basement. Where does this guy live? Must be a California climate nut. Try around here in winter and you’ll get some climate.
Jose, of course, purchases carbon offsets for the baseball bats he uses and only travels by Chevrolet Volt.

Bishop Hill’s comments have broken out in an impromptu poetry competition if anyone is interested.

It’s called eco-poetry.
