Honorary Doctor of Laws and Humane Letters in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology - WTF?
Former vice president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore will receive an honorary doctoral degree from the University of Tennessee.

"Vice President Gore's career has been marked by visionary leadership, and his work has quite literally changed our planet for the better. He is among the most accomplished and respected Tennesseans in history, and it is fitting that he should be honored by the flagship education institution of his home state."

Only two others have been given honorary degrees from UT including entertainer and philanthropist Dolly Parton.

In a poll, "Should UT Knoxville present Al Gore with an honorary doctoral degree?", with over 12,000 votes 96% say NO!

Over 13,000 no votes.

651 Yes.

I wonder how many no votes it will take before they pull the poll?

Where are all the Gore bashers tonight?

I figured that AlGore receiving such a ridiculous award would bring out the best at GLP. Maybe I made a poor choice for the thread title.
