Al Gore, popularly known as "algore," "the Goracle," or "Manbearpig," won the Nobel Peace Prize for something having to do with his preaching on global warming from the confines of his massive mansion. No doubt he will be spirited away on a private jet to pick up his prize. No word if this jet is powered by magic dust.
Gore has been winning lots of prizes as of late, including the Oscars. Given that the Oscars are becoming meaningless and irrelevant, it's fitting that Gore pick up another meaningless and irrelevant "honor."
First of all, what the hell does exaggerating the effects of climate change has to do with peace? Secondly, a prize that was once awarded to Martin Luther King, Jr. has been awarded in recent years to hacks like Jimmy Carter and murderous terrorists like Yasser Arafat. It's essentially nothing more than a popularity prize for the left-wing international elite. Indeed, ANYONE can win the Nobel Peace Prize. There's no scientific vetting like there is for the Nobel Prizes for science and medicine (which explains why The Inventor Of The Internet didn't win a scientific prize, since that's really the field he's dabbling with).
The MSM has been of course tossing confetti in the air all day over this. It just goes to show you that Western Civilization is led and controlled nowadays by silly people giving each other silly honors and prizes.
Maybe I'll run for the Peace Prize next year...
