I love to laugh at those global warming hypocrites. You know the ones I mean: those idiots you read about in the news or see on TV preaching about global warming, only to then head off stage into their waiting private jet.
The most famous one is probably Al Gore, who came out with a whole [...]
Komen Controversy

Susan G. Komen for the Cure just narrowly escaped from a major PR problem.
They are holding a conference in Alexandria, Egypt which is being touted as an example of “unprecedented cooperation” in the region. The only problem with that regional cooperation is that Israeli doctors and participants were disinvited at the last minute by Egyptian officials. Arutz Sheva reported on the Egyptians’ ridiculous position:
Despite the cancellation of the Israeli presence at the event, Egyptian officials continued to praise the event as an example of regional cooperation. “The week’s events are a demonstration of the cooperation between countries, governments, civil society, advocates, survivors, and the global community as a whole,” Dr. Mohammed Shaalan of Egypt’s Breast Cancer Foundation told Reuters on Monday. “It shows that breast cancer has no boundaries and reveals the beauty of the world’s unity in its fight against breast cancer.”
Initially the Komen organization seemed to do nothing about it. They merely issued a lame statement saying that their plans were already underway, so they’re not changing anything and are just going to go along with this disgusting move. Upon hearing that, there was quite a ruckus raised, with the Anti-Defamation League issuing strong statements against both Egypt and the Komen organization. Some people (myself included) were even proposing a cessation of all donations to Komen. After all, how could they willingly go along with such a thing? If they had a functional moral compass and a backbone, they would simply pick up and move the conference next door to Israel instead, where all are welcome (especially considering that they were planning on going there the following week anyway).
Anyway, news is just out now that the Komen organization was able to launch a successful diplomatic effort to reverse the Egyptian decision, thereby granting them a narrow escape from the growing protests.
I guess some people can’t recognize crap when it’s right in front of their nose. Only when someone tells them it’s crap do they throw up.
