WARMING TO AL GORE

A friend writes from Portland, Oregon:

AL GORE in Portland.jpg Al Gore was in town last night with an excellent (and eye-opening) presentation on Global Warming -- a concept that continues to escape [the Bullshitter-in-Chief]. Can you imagine Georgie saying something/anything like:

"We're entering -- have already entered -- a new phase of human history. The fundamental relationship between our species and our home planet has been utterly transformed."

Al's presentation had lots of (lovely) before and (sadly) after slides ... leading into one of these split screens [showing] that two years ago he predicted the melting of Mt. Kilimanjaro's snows within 15 years. Update: It is all "virtually gone" today.

I really enjoyed hearing him but just could not get it straight in my head that [the Bullshitter-in-Chief] is "ruining" the country when by popular vote Gore should be running it. Oh right, I remember now, we live in a nonsense vs. no-nonsense world -- what was I thinking?
