Mocking Al Gore

Don't you love those haters who mock a man for promoting a principal that ought to be universally accepted? The prinicpal that we should take care of our environment? Now that Gore has won an Oscar for "An Inconvenient Truth" and even more publicity is raised for his cause, the rats are crawling out of the woodwork.

They say he is a hipocrite for having a big electric bill. I'm quite sure that he lives in a big house and has a huge bill. Face it, we can hardly live without electricity, so he needs to be called a hipcrite because he uses it? Did Al Gore ever say people ought to go without it? I believe a few years back they were mocking him because he drove an SUV. Did he ever say noone should ever drive an SUV? No-he said we need to cut down and we need to find alternative fuels, etc. This man has devoted his whole adult life to protecting the environment and people really think that he is using up all the electric in his state? They mock him because he uses electricity to run his pool. Is he not allowed to have a pool and use electric to use it? He lives in the USA and is not immune himself to having to use electric and gas. Is Al Gore a hipocrite because he doesn't live in a treehouse and use an outhouse?

I'll tell you who is a hipocrite...that fat weasel Rush Limbaugh, who devoted most of his show today on trying to make a fool out of Gore. All those years he denegrated people with drug problems. Yeah. He is a hipocrite because you don't have to use drugs, but you almost have to use electric in this country. And yes, Gore uses alot of it. He has a 20 room house and both he and Tipper work out of their homes. So sue them. Al Gore is hardly the cause of the environmental problems we are facing today and in the future. That is a collective responsibility and some of us are going to use more, some less. But everyone has to do everything they can to make a change. Yes, they miss the point once again.

Ralph Nader May Run

If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination. Here he comes again, looking to be the spoiler. Why not run now? Because he knows he can't beat either Hillary or Obama. If people vote Hillary as the nominee, then that's what they want. If they don't want her, they won't vote for her. Why does he feel the need to rescue the country from what it wants? What a bufoon.

Bush Adds 1000 More Troops To Surge

On the same day House challanges him on his plan. What kind of game is he playing with American lives? 1000 troops? What good is that going to do? 20,000 isn't enough, according to most in the military. If his original plan was to send 100,000, like many military say is needed to really do the job, I might support the plan. But 20,000 and then just an extra 1000 to stick it to the House?

Lack Of Sleep Leads To Poor Grades

Have we found a cure for cancer yet? Or even the common cold? Did we need to pay tax dollars to study the obvious? Maybe I'll apply for a grant to study the effects of eating a dozen donuts a day.

Study finds more evidence that poor rest habits lower grade point averages

THURSDAY, Feb. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Sleepless nights can leave their mark on teens' report cards, a new study finds.

Researchers from the University of Colorado School of Medicine analyzed 238 surveys filled out by middle-school and high-school students. The findings showed that students with lower grade point averages (GPA) were more likely to have: restless, aching legs when they were trying to fall asleep; difficulty concentrating during the day; snoring every night; difficulty waking up in the morning; daytime sleepiness; and problems with falling asleep in class.

The study was published in the Feb. 1 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

"While a series of previously-conducted studies all found that adolescents reporting inadequate sleep, irregular sleep patterns, and/or poor sleep quality do not perform as well in school as students without sleep complaints, this study provides additional evidence indicating that sleep disturbances occur at high frequencies in adolescents and significantly affect daytime performance, as measured by GPA," study author Dr. James F. Pagel said in a prepared statement.

He said it's important for parents to discuss their teen's sleep-related problems with a doctor.
Here are some sleep tips for teens, courtesy of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine:
Get a full night's sleep on a regular basis. Don't stay up late doing homework or studying for an exam.

If you're not asleep within 20 minutes after going to bed, get up and do something relaxing, such as reading a book or listening to music, until you're tired enough to go back to bed.
Get up at the same time every morning.

Try not to take naps after school. If you feel you have to, don't nap for more than an hour.
Keep a regular schedule.

Don't read, write, eat, watch TV, talk on the phone, or play cards in bed.

Don't have any caffeine after lunch.

Your bedroom should be quiet, dark and a bit cool.

Don't go to bed hungry, but don't eat a big meal just before bedtime.

Don't do any vigorous exercise within six hours of your bedtime.
