Bono confesses sins to 'father' Al Gore
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id ... _article=1

"Father Al, I am not just a noise polluter, I am a noise-polluting, diesel-soaking, gulfstream-flying rock star.

"I'm going to kick the habit. I'm trying father Al, but oil has been very good for me -- those convoys of articulated lorries, petrochemical products, hair gel."

Ah.. Confession does make you feeeeeeel better.

Environmentalism has become a religion anyway. Its adherents have faith in global warming with very little evidence. They sell indulgences in the form of "carbon offsets". It's only fitting now that they should have confessionals with their "Pope", AlGore.

I like what Bono has done with his celebrity. I may not agree with all that he thinks, but at least he doesnt just live the life of a rockstar, he is trying to change the world.

I'm sure you've noticed that Father Al is now advising the world on global economics. Is there anything the man is not an expert at?

Spare me. When Bono and all these other celebrity "philanthropists" REALLY put their money where their mouth is and return to the life of a normal human being, then maybe I will listen to their message.

But as for right now, they're living too comfortably for me to give two rat's butts about their stance on anything.

chuckle...

Al whispered back, "It's okay, B, I'm a noise-polluting, diesel-drinkin', carbon-emitting, gulfstream flyin' rock star, too."

I tend to agree. The most I've ever been impressed with someone in the public eye (however small that eye may be when you're a Christian singer) was when Rich Mullins turned the handling of his earnings over to panel of elders at his church, along with a list of charities, and instructions to "pay" him whatever the average working man's salary was and distribute the rest. He moved into a single wide trailer on an Indian reservation in New Mexico and taught music to kids at the public school. He said the best advice he ever got was in the '70's, when his uncle told him, "You're so proud of how poor you are, so that you can identify with the poor. If you really care about the poor, go out and make money and spend it on them."

THAT'S putting your money where your mouth is.
