Hi jstack,

  The only thing we agree on is that before burning unca' Al, we should install a serious H.E.P.A. filter ...   That's:  "Holy Eco-Political Ambitions, Batman!"

  There' not a lot more I can add about the former VP, except: Whoa! 

I've been told the book/movie is the ultimate piece of inconsistent nonsense since the Pythons released "Holy Grail" I dunno, But the thought of unca' Al saying "Ne!" and ordering the boys to come back with a shrubbery after felling the mightiest tree in the forest seems to fit.

Knowledgeable folks laugh at "An Inconvenient Truth" the same way real Anglican historians laugh at The Pythons, but for different reasons.

Asking Jeff to compare himself to the "the Ed man" ( I mean that with complete respect) is not very nice, in fact it's a bit mean.

Let's face it when people talk about Ed and his green bone-fides, there is a bit of *envy* with every single chuckle.  Ed is a man that is *truly* dedicated to living the green life.  He has been doing it since way back when it earned him much more scorn than respect.  He never wavered in his commitment.  Ed defies the Hollywood establishment in many ways, yet maintains their respect.

Al Gore, bred and raised like a prize bull for political office, saw an opening and zigged to try to improve his position.  While I'm thankful that his opportunism has drawn attention to the environmental movement, let's not forget that it was still opportunism.  Al Gore probably doesn't understand why he's not still in office, and grew a beard to alter his persona.
