This just popped in the inbox from Americans for Prosperity, who are putting on the Hot Air Tour exposing the economic nightmare that is “Global Warming” (there will be a stop at Miller Park July 26)…
FYI breaking news from our team on the ground in Nashville. The Nashville Parks Department is denying us permission to launch the balloon, citing the fact that our permit says balloon rides but not specifically the word “launch.” This despite the fact that we have explained to them on the phone multiple times our precise flight plan and before today there was no indication that there was a problem or any defect in our permit. Clearly, Gore is calling in favors to stop the embarrassing visual and negative coverage surrounding our event and ratcheting up the beating he is taking over his home energy use. Please post about this on blogs and pass this information along to allies. Thanks.

Nothing like using dirty pool to protect oneself from ridicule over a house that is the very definition of hypocrisy.
Revisions/extensions (3:00 pm 6/20/2008) – More info from AFP’s blog (thanks Erik Telford)…
Roy Wilson at the Nashville Parks Department must not have liked our earlier post, since he just completely revoked our permit — even though his department’s own rules state that he can’t do that unless we break a law or one of the department’s rules, which we haven’t done and have no intention of doing. Then he hung up on our legal counsel.
In the meantime, good news to report — we’ve secured a private location for this afternoon’s event. We’ll be in a field at the corner of Sneed and Vaughn Roads — just about a mile and a half from the original event location….
If you’re in the neighborhood, head over there. Do also stop in at AFP’s blog for Chris Muir’s answer to the Nashville Parks Department.
R&E part 2 (6:50 am 6/21/2008) – Turned off the computer too early yesterday, but AFP got the balloon off the ground. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Americans For Prosperity’s hot air balloon tour grounded in Nashville…
On Tuesday, the Americans for Prosperty group launched the second leg of its hot air balloon tour on June 17th (the full schedule is here). According to the website, the tour is designed to, “expose the ballooning costs of global warming hysteri…
Al Gore is about as disgusting as a politician can get. In fact, put together every joke ever spoken about politicians and draw a picture from those jokes and you have AlGORE. He is a hypocrite without equal, he is directly responsible for gas prices to be where they are, his only interest is sticking it to the American people and filling up his bank account because as a politician he is worthless. Braindead democrats are dragging this country down to the point I almost hope Obama is elected because he will definitely drag us down to the bottom of the barrel, right where the liberals have us already. We just may not have enough intelligent people left in this country to even notice.
Hello… I’ve had this window (this blog entry) on my web browser open for awhile – I have so many things to get done, online and elsewhere, before leaving for the Republican National Convention in Minnesota (I kinda hope that it is postponed, after all). The reason I’ve had this entry open, though, is that its one of those that I’ve needed (and tried) to do a manual trackback ping to, from one of my recent entries [I recently resumed posting major entries, after being mired, for awhile].
I just tried again, after attempting, possibly about a week ago, so I’ll have to go with the “poor man’s trackback” (need to do this at several bloggers’ entries).
