Antidote for Nobel Nausea

Marjorie Campbell, marjorie@marjoriecampbell.com

A lot of folks are experiencing a touch of nausea this morning, Deal.  I think I found an antidote. 

First, visit The Inconvenient Truth at Amazon.com and sort the 987 customer reviews with the lowest rating first.  Stop at Dr. Stephen Gruber's review "How Green Was My Planet"; tarry at retired attorney John Linnell's "An Inconvenient Myth and Miles from the Truth" and enjoy meteorologist D. Hall Jethro's "A Convenient Truth  for the Democrats".  There are some unprofessional, uncharitable remarks here, unfortunately, like "Al Gore Sucks ... Zero Stars", which, apparently, is not really an option on the Amazon 5-star scale, and a comparison of Mr. Gore to Mr. Borat.

Next, read the "nine significant errors within the former presidential candidate’s documentary" and “the context of alarmism and exaggeration”, found yesterday by Mr. Justice Burton of London's High Court.

When you are done there, visit Thomas Malthus at Wikipedia.  "Pop" (short for population) Malthus sounds like a pretty likable guy (British, 1766-1834) who, perhaps like Mr. Gore, really wanted to believe in the perfection of mankind  - but he got distracted by the appearance of limited food supplies and man's unrestrained appetite for sex.  His influential, famously dire and, well, wrong, predictions about over-population and the demise of humans remind us that unfolding facts can temper a man's predictive claim to fame.

Finally, grab a Krispy Kreme donut and cup of coffee and reread Sean Dailey's wonderfully reassuring"The Lost Art of Catholic Drinking".

Let me know if you're  feeling better in the morning.
