What? Alarmist? I don't believe it. Who didn't see this one coming?

Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."

I've watched Last Comic Standing for the past couple seasons and enjoyed the comedy, but I'm just not sure if I'll be able to continue watching this season. After seeing tonight's finalists chosen, it was just absolutely apalling. They most obviously went with people who will probably wreak havoc in the house rather than be the funniest comedians on the stage.

I was laughing extremely hard three times tonight out of the 20 comedians. One of them made the top 12 - and he was voted in by the fans. The other two were inexplicably left out in favor of comedians which I thought were absolutely horrible. Ty Barnett was unfunny, but he was political, so I guess they producers thought he'd be fun in the house. Rebecca Corry was absolutely horrible on stage, but I guess since she's 4'11" she'll be funny or something.

Nikki Payne was absolutely hilarious and Doug Benson and his segues were classic. But nope...they went with Stella - a pregnant New Yorker with attitude and absolutely nothing funny to say.

If it weren't for Josh Blue, there'd be no reason to watch at all. We'll see...
