It’s Earth Day, and yesterday Al Gore poked his head out of a mansion somewhere to declare another year of climate change alarmism before ducking back inside. Gore didn’t tweet today (he must have been busy fighting global warming), but that doesn’t mean Iowahawk wasn’t thinking of him.

Your home is a $9 million mansion in Montecito. RT @algore Earth Day is a reminder of our eternal duty to protect our planet, our home.

CATASTROPHE! on the other hand, perhaps not.

If "anonymous" does suceed in closing along the internet, the actual only real issue will undoubtedly be teenage young men having to purchase hardcopy. Lol

This Handicapped Man Has Serious Guts. Talk About Living Life To The Fullest!

Think being in a wheelchair can keep your from doing a lot of fun things in life… like skydiving? Well, you’re wrong. Take a look at this guy and his journey from plane to ground and try not to be inspired to live life to the fullest.

Even though he’s more than a little nervous at first, once he and his skydiving instructor start cruising through the sky, you can just see the look of someone who’s enjoying their life. It’s really incredible to witness and I know that it will make you want to get out there and start really living, even if that doesn’t mean jumping out of a plane.

Getting all strapped in before going aboard the plane.

About to leave the plane. There’s no turning back now.

Not a bad view, huh?

I hope they remembered to use the bathroom earlier.

Wow. What an incredible feeling that must be.

I wonder what’s even go through their minds at this point.

They must feel like birds.

…Ones that haven’t quite mastered the whole flying thing.

Don’t forget to wave to the camera.

10/10 on the landing. Way to go!

(via joecool42069)

Whoa. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling inspired to go out and do something. Maybe I’ll get in a plane and then stay in that plane until it lands somewhere else. It’s not as enthralling as jumping out of an aircraft, but at least it’s something!

If Julia Pierson could be the someone to drop the lady focus on the key supplier scandal, I'm gonna be pissed. This strikes myself as a sexist reaction.

What’s to cause it out, exactly? Susan Rice sucked inside woman task. She didn’t need dudes which could make your ex lover appearance inexperienced. She performed that each and every when it comes to get.

I'm not asking Julia Pierson never be held accountable, I'm asking she be held towards identical standard, not an increased one, versus girl male colleagues.

Ladies frontrunners are held to an increased standard than dudes. They should be-all what to everybody. That's occurring below #JuliaPierson

Dems ‘forgot one small detail’ while remembering the Little Rock Nine

http://twitter.com/#!/JohnBermont/status/515274536321683456

TheDemocrats tweeted an Obama quote to commemorate the “Little Rock Nine”—nine black students who enrolled in a public high school in defiance of then Governor Orval Faubus. They forgot to mention one little detail though.
