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
I take back everything I said about intelligent life being an emergent property of a complex physical universe. You only need to falsify an hypotheis once right?
Hollywood has nothing on real life, if anyones intrested a new printing service allows you to print out your favorite celebs twits.

lol – “people send me stuff” – loved that as your opener. Too true!
For some odd reason I am reminded of one of the greatest ad libs of all time. David Niven was hosting the Academy Awards when a male streaker ran across the stage. Mr Niven said something like, “What a shame that the most memorable day in that man’s life will be when he took off his clothes and revealed his shortcomings.”
“hole families….”
He spelled it that way because it refers to the cellar hole. That is all that is left of some old farms in New England.
People died at fifty back then. How old is this fellow, now?
Bloody typical: has got his 500 hp caddie, is flying off to celebrity golf tournaments, and thinks he gets some brownie points (from who?) by strategic use of the phrases “global warming”, “polar bears”, and “recycling”.
Amusing how the majority seem to accept that these plus “sustainable” and “carbon footprint” are now a compulsory part of every conversation.
We really are amazingly programmable monkeys.
That was great! Thanks for posting it and bringing to my attention that I need to follow 1-800 PHONE-JOSE on twitter. Just can’t make this stuff up!
I miss him in baseball. It was great when he was a Blue Jay all roided up and snashing baseballs into the 5th deck of the SkyDome (now Rogers Centre). He was worth the price of admission.
Actually this thread makes me want to click above and read the Gore-a-thon comics.
Too funny; ’tis true, things like this could not be ‘made up’ … love the follow on comments by posters too!
…From a juiced-up cheater. Limo liberal advice on ten-to-a-bed sleeping with no heat. I’ll bet his flannel PJs are designer. What a TOOL!
he needs to hire a personal tweeter. quickly.
He certainly makes the case for natural selection (or eugenics).
Lord forgive me for thinking that.
Those turned off by religion said, “God is dead,” back in the 1960’s.
“Gore is dead” makes a strange sense, seen in that light.
