While the global-warming scam’s mentioned here quite often, this is a special occasion. Because it was exactly ten years ago today that Rush began his AlGore countdown to the end of existence as we know it.

Here’s what Rush said: “Now, the last time I heard some liberal talk about "ten years" it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we've got ten years. Ten years left to save the planet from a scorching. Okay, we're going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just... You have to love these people -- from afar, and from a purely observational point of view.”

Global-warming, however, isn’t the only evidence of AlGore’s gullibility. A couple of years ago, Current TV co-founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt launched a fraud and breach-of-contract lawsuit claiming that Al Jazeera was withholding money from its $500 million purchase of the cable news network. 

The complaint filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, reveals that the plaintiffs were seeking $65 million held in escrow. Unfortunately, though, Al Jazeera America, declared bankruptcy and shut down in April 2015. 

In this case, global-warming probably could have been a big help to Gore. Because, in bankruptcy cases, organization’s assets get "frozen" by the courts. 

Moving along to another issue, Rush made another quite salient point yesterday, as follows.

RUSH: “I have a question, folks.  I really am bugged by something here.  I'm watching all of this talk about banning the Oscars. And all these Hollywood liberals and Hollywood actors and actresses are running around saying, "We can't go to the Oscars, there aren't any black nominees.  It's a racist bunch, it's racism, and we're not gonna go support it."  If that's the case, then why aren't all good liberals boycotting the Democrat presidential primaries?  Which is whiter, the list of Oscar nominees or the Democrats running for president?  Is there a whiter group among those two?  

“It would seem to me that if you're gonna boycott the Oscars -- which is not nearly as important as the presidential race. If you're gonna boycott the Oscars because there are no black nominees, well, then it seems to me you would boycott the Democrat presidential primaries 'cause there aren't any black candidates.  It seems like a reasonable question to me.”

While Rush’s tongue-in-cheek remark was made humorously, stressing his point about typical liberal hypocrisy, it’s also remindful of an old Dean Martin line that’s appropriate here. When Dean was asked about a mistake he’d made, he replied: “If you’re going to hit me with logic, I don’t want to chit-chat.” Which would certainly apply to most liberal political positions.

And then, an item appeared on FoxNews.com regarding an upcoming debate it’s hosting in Des Moines, Iowa on Thursday, where: “Donald Trump is refusing to debate seven of his fellow presidential candidates on stage that night, which is near unprecedented.”

Fox reports that: “We’re not sure how Iowans are going to feel about him walking away from them at the last minute, but it should be clear to the American public by now that this is rooted in one thing – Megyn Kelly, whom he has viciously attacked since August and has now spent four days demanding be removed from the debate stage. Capitulating to politicians’ ultimatums about a debate moderator violates all journalistic standards, as do threats, including one leveled by Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski toward Megyn Kelly.”

In this case, it would be quite interesting to see what happens if Trump truly refuses to appear. Because, in an age where every candidates thoughts, ideas, concepts, history, plans, and iota’s of information are discussed, analyzed microscopically, and disseminated 24/7/365, what is there to debate about? Every voter who has a higher IQ than a turnip, knows full well all there is to know about everyone involved, their positions and their rhetoric. 

And, therefore, it’s doubtful that other than hype spread by the media about Trump, pro or con, whether he debates or not shouldn’t make the least bit of difference. 

And then, a friend posted the following on FB this morning:

 

Which brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife, and what may be a not so subtle indication of what the POTUS senses is taking place in the Democrat electorate.

Eric Beech, edited by Eric Walsh @Reuters, reports: “President Barack Obama will meet with Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders at the White House on Wednesday, the White House said on Tuesday.

"The two will meet privately in the Oval Office and there will be no formal agenda," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.” 

Thus, apparently the FBI investigation, Benghazi committee, Clinton foundation donations and misuse of email servers must be finally causing some concern. Because it’s highly likely that a few short months ago, the only way Sanders would get into the White House would be along with other guided-tourists. 

Which brings up the ongoing question: Joe Biden, Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys reading this?     

That’s it for today folks.
