“THE EARTH HAS A FEVER”
Al Gore—charismatic star of An Inconvenient Truth and its upcoming sequel, An Inconvenient Truth: Tokyo Drift—weeps for little baby Earth:
The Earth has a fever and just like when your child has a fever, maybe that’s a warning of something seriously wrong.
It’s also kind of like when the Earth hammers down a load of booze then hits the road in its carbon-neutral Mustang. Or when the Earth gets baked inside a carbon-neutral Cadillac and sets off on a midnight drive without the aid of headlights (to save energy, probably). Poor Earth!
Meanwhile, global warming has quit molesting polar bears and is now turning alligators into Amway salesmen.
UPDATE. Via Mark Alexander, further childhood insights from Al Gore’s Earth in the Balance:
A developing child in a dysfunctional family searches his parent’s face for signals that he is whole and all is right with the world; when he finds no such approval, he begins to feel that something is wrong inside. And because he doubts his worth and authenticity, he begins controlling his inner experience—smothering spontaneity, masking emotion, diverting creativity into robotic routine, and distracting an awareness of all he is missing with an unconvincing replica of what he might have been.
UPDATE II. Huck Foley: “Ever watched a 10-year-old lying to a five-year-old? There’s Al.”
Er, shouldn’t that be “An Inconvenient Truth: Kyoto Drift”? Hrm. Just doesn’t have the same ring about it, somehow.
Another thing; I think this post would be funnier without any links.

Why isn’t she going up to her wandering nit of a husband, taking him gently by the hand, and leading him back to his bed and strapping him down? The man doesn’t need anymore media adulation, he needs psychiatric help. Or else one of his offspring better start producing grandkids pronto. He seems to be suffering from Cute Helpless Infant Deprivation, and is starting to hallucinate. (I’m immune to this strange plague myself, but I have come to the conclusion that it is endemic in the richwhiteliberal community.)

Stoop Davy DaveHuck Foley, and MarkL. I gave them specific orders to join me at Top Secret Launch Location 10A10B (i.e., my basement) last Wednesday.I’ve spent the past three days digitally copying the forbidden section of the Secret Vatican Library, circa 960 AD, hidden in a Apennine monastery. All by myself. It’s fucking creepy there. No electric lights, only candles. The monks, they don’t talk. Ever. They just stand. And stare at me. With hoods up. Like 200 Angels of Death. Brrrrrr. Oh, and mealtime sucks yak dongs big time. Stale crusty bread. Thin gruel. Beer is good though. At least, I’m hoping it’s beer.
Look, I’ve set up the digital copiers in the scriptorium. The monks are a bit shocked by the new technology and are asking questions. But I told them to kiss St. Benedict’s ass and mind their own business.
But it’s a dreadfully dull job. So far I’ve copied the following:
Book of the Covenant
Book of the Wars of the Lord
Book of Jasher (aka Book of the Upright, aka Sefer haYashar)
The Manner of the Kingdom/Book of Statutes
Book of the Acts of Solomon

Took three days. I think. This going back in forth in time, ferrying the copiers, the generators that provide electricity to the copiers (and my DVD player and TV which I keep hidden in my cubbyhole of a sleep place), the gasoline to run the generators, White Castle sliders, has made me lose track of time a bit. Is this 2012 and have the oceans risen to flood California yet?

``It is clear that the world is purely parodic, in other words, that each thing seen is the parody of another…’’ Georges Bataille
Who then discovers the source of the fever
``...the earth, by turning, makes animals and men have coitus, and (because the result is as much the cause as that which provokes it) ... animals and men make the earth turn by having coitus.’‘

Ah such precision. I learn more each day from reading this blog.Who then discovers the source of the fever
“...the earth, by turning, makes animals and men have coitus, and (because the result is as much the cause as that which provokes it) ... animals and men make the earth turn by having coitus.”
Global warming takes on a new and unsuspected meaning.
Now this truly provides an explanation for a phemonon about which I have pondered for many years now. However, I do wonder if Georges Bataille factored into his analysis the curved effect of the coriolis force which surely would have an impact on coitus, in turn affecting the earth’s rotation.
But with this new groundbreaking evidence we may conclude that the real source of global warming is increased animals and human coitus, coriolis forces notwithstanding.
The solution to the problem would then be an international Coitus Interruptus Campaign.
[Of course we’ll need trillions of dollars for additional research into all these areas.]
Otherwise we’re just stuffed. Now I’m now deeply troubled.
Drat for some reason the inserted link doesn’t work for Coriolis Force - copy paste whole link required… sigh
http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/fw/crls.rxmlTell me if I’m just being the world’s biggest cynic here:
Follow the links over at the Inconvenient Truth website and you’ll come to the NativeEnergy website. Here’s where you learn how to become carbon neutral. And what a sweet deal it is…
Here’s how it works: You calculate the annual “cost” of your personal CO2 emissions and transfer that amount to NativeEnergy which then purchases “Green Tags” from renewable energy projects on your behalf. When the energy generated by those projects is sold and delivered to the grid, the “associated environmental attributes” are “reserved” for you. You are now carbon neutral. NativeEnergy currently has two projects from which it “buys” Green Tags: a Native American wind farm in South Dakota and a family farm methane project in Pennsylvania.
Okay, so let’s say I’m a Pennsylvania dairy farmer. My operating costs are killing me, especially the energy costs (it takes a lot of electricity to run those milking machines). Plus I’m up to my eyeballs in (methane-rich) cow poo which must be dealt with on a daily basis. What to do? I’ve got it—not only will I apply for, and get, government grants, but I’ll get a bunch of limousine liberals and carbon neutral kooks to buy Green Tags from me to defray the costs of building a methane generator. I won’t owe them anything (beyond perhaps a “thanks, sucker”) and once my generator is operational, all my energy and cow poo removal cost savings can go straight to my bottom line.
Or, say I’m a Native American (or anybody else for that matter) who wants to get into the wind farm business. I need start-up money. The trouble is, venture capitalists expect a return on their investments and lenders insist on being paid interest. What to do, what to do? I know—I’ll get a bunch of limousine liberals and carbon neutral kooks to buy Green Tags from me thus defraying the costs of owning and operating my turbines. Since they neither will expect nor receive consideration for their “investment” beyond the “associated environmental attributes”, all profits will accrue to me.
Now say I’m a wealthy liberal who uses an inordinate amount of energy maintaining my desired lifestyle. However, I also have an image as a responsible and ardent environmentalist to foster. What to do? I know—I’ll buy a crapload of Green Tags from some alternate energy company (doesn’t really matter who or what’s being done with the money) and, presto, I’m “carbon neutral”. And if you ain’t carbon neutral you ain’t carbon cool.
Now, is this a brillant, innovative, everybody-including-Mother-Gaia-wins way to bring much needed sources of alternative energy on line; or is it a scheme (wish I’d thought of it) to (1) channel cost-free capital to favored (ah, Mr. Gore, might I have a wee peek at your portfolio?) for-profit enterprises and (2) allow people like Al Gore and Barbra Streisand to continue to heat and cool their 10,000sf mansions and travel by private jet in good conscience and with impunity? Or is it both? Or does it even matter?

You know the monk with the squint and the mole on his left cheek? That isn’t a mole. That’s a tri-vee camera. You have been blundering about on the set of Soul Brothers, a reality-3V extravaganza sponsored by Ebery, Inc [“The Aircar with Style!”], in which ordinary 23rd-Century Oceanians get to experience early-medieval monastery life. Hilarity ensues… But I’m glad you mentioned it. Your CD player has been interfering with transmissions, and the producers asked me to hunt down the source. Saved me a bit of trouble, it did.
If you want images of the rest of the documents, let me know and I’ll have the props department whip them up for you. We’ll have to check around to see if we still have anything old enough to write a .jpeg, but maybe the museum has a Photoshop 25 or something.
And by all means please stay if you’re enjoying yourself. It makes a nice puzzle for the rest of the cast, who sometimes get bored with cultivating cabbages and meditating, and therefore a more interesting show. In fact, the producer has authorized me to offer you scale if you have a VAG card.

Then again, it’s not always obvious, and lots of bloggers still inexplicably think that the “opinions” of morons are just as valuable as those of people who have troubled to think their comments through and don’t put any regulation on their commenting system whatsoever.
In any case, his observations seem to dovetail with mine; I have long since come to the opinion that most of the news and other information we get in the form of communications from the mass of humanity on the tv, websites, and what-have-you, is not only useless to us but is actively destructive of social relations and society in general. In other words, people in the past before mass communication was widespread may have been insular and prejudiced, but now that we know what everyone thinks I don’t see that the insularity and prejudice have lessened one whit; instead we have just added disgust for our fellow man (and the consequent unhealthy regard for our wonderful selves) to the mix.

Inurbanus: I have no idea. The study of market forces bores me; in any case if you ask me the market seems to be aiming most of its products not at all individual groups but at a subset of the groups out there—mostly those who have the most money to pay. So most ads are aimed at young people with more money than sense, and older well-off upper-middle class people going through a midlife crisis and needing products to shore up the emptiness of their fading years. Oh, did I just write that? Substitute “who have plenty of leisure time and want to enjoy it” after “upper middle class people”.

It will still be easy to withdraw into enclaves, if you like, but it won’t be as easy to throw out idiot opinions without having to back them up to somebody who’s virtually sitting in the room with you, and it won’t be as comfortable for slandering and insulting your opponent. I also think it will be available with the touch of a button or the voicing of a keyword, and not dependent on lugging around a machine. If that happens, there’s no telling what society will become. It could be the next evolution of dissemination of information and the human mind, or it could be total chaos, but I’m betting on evolution. Maybe this is just fantasy thinking on my part, but I believe it will happen ... just maybe not in my lifetime.

Has Wronwright gone mad, and if so, only recently?
Where did all these books come from?
If he’s got a high-output digital copier, and knowing him, he’s probably got the GOOD tv in there, and yeah… he’s probably got a degibbericizer; at least, I’ve seen him conversing with the monks.

Something bad, I’ll bet. I’d better eavesdrop…I’ve set up the digital copiers in the scriptorium. The monks are a bit shocked by the new technology and are asking questions.
