GORE'S FISHY DISH
19/07/2007


GREEN campaigner Al Gore is under fire after an endangered fish was served at his daughter's wedding.

Just a week after launching the Live Earth concerts, the former US Vice President let his green credentials slip when Chilean sea bass was given to guests at the reception in Beverly Hills, California.

The sea bass is one of the world's most over-fished species. Gore, who also made an Oscar-winning climate change documentary, has not commented on the row.

Well as it turns out.......

But, according to The Telegraph, the fish enjoyed by the Gores were not endangered or illegally caught.

Rather, the restaurant later confirmed, they had come from one of the world's few well-managed, sustainable populations of toothfish, and were caught and documented in compliance with Marine Stewardship Council regulations.

Republicans Snub the NAACP.

Up to nine presidential candidates will take the stage at Cobo Center on Thursday morning to woo the African-American vote. At most, there will be one Republican.


It's not for lack of an invitation. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People extended invitations to all announced Republican and Democratic candidates two months ago. The national staff of the civil rights organization followed up with phone calls.


All but one of the Republican candidates have all said they won't come, citing scheduling conflicts. While most of the Democratic ones will be there. I guess those bridge building talking points from Rove and company were like the the plans and projects in Iraq all on paper and no hat.

I also find it interesting that Ron Paul whom has been linked to overt racist statements in a newsletter that was published by him would pass up this chance to clear the air and make a showing at this convention. I seem is he is not much different after all.
