Alec Baldwin: There is a Candidate Who is the Answer (awesome!)

Is this what global warming's first act will look like? Seasons shifted and shorter, less intense winters? Migrations of specific "bands of meteorology" moving northward. Miami's weather becomes DC's weather. Atlanta's weather becomes New York's? New York's becomes Toronto's and so on?

You still have people in the political "leadership class" in this country (that is anyone who is wealthy and/or well connected enough to be able to buy good seats to the latest Hillary-Obama-Romney-McCain rock concert-barbecue-Chardonnay sampling event) who do not want to talk about climate change during the campaign in any meaningful way so as not to "bring everyone's head down." The war, and all of the other unconscionable, lying, thieving and whoring done by Bush, Cheney and, now, Gonzales, is more than we all can bear. The low point in US politics (and it is the lowest point because of how close we all are to the lessons we should have learned from Vietnam, the first Iraq war, Watergate, etc.) has rendered us incapable of any real effort in the service real change. Americans, if not disgraced by their government, are enervated by it. And they hate it. I have never heard Americans speak so poorly of the institutions of our government as they are now.

There is a candidate out there who IS the answer. The only answer. And, in what I believe is the true American spirit, I would rather die under a government headed by such a man than live under one like we have now. Just think, the pompous, self-important, intellectually vain attorney general taking orders from the White House to politicize the firings of REPUBLICAN -APPOINTED attorneys on his own staff.

Think about it. One man. Smart. Experienced. Brave. Doing it for the RIGHT REASONS!

2. I assume Alec is talking about...

...Al Gore?

He's not a candidate Alec. He's said emphatically that he's not running, Alec. Don't call him a candidate, if he said he isn't running. I want him to run, but he's not going to. Stop with this false hope, Alec. It's not smart, Alec, and if you want to appear smart, you'll cut it out.
