#1 "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

-- Vice President Al Gore

#3 Gore said he was contributing the proceeds from a book and a documentary on the subject (both to be released later this year) to the coalition.

Wow! A book and a movie by Al Gore coming out? That could bring in, like, hundreds and hundreds of dollars!!

#4 Gore has his OWN NETWORK spewing weird propaganda 24/7. That channel is "Current". On DirecTV it is channel 366.
So having a complete network of his own to spout BS what the hell does he deserve free air time from the other networks for?
Make his own network interesting enough that some fool would watch his crap!

Actually, the air and water is cleaner than anytime since before the 70s. However, when your standards are something like non-existance of mankind, its a little more demanding. Too bad these people didn't live a hundred years ago when most heating and energy creation at home was by coal. Fouled the air, few if any 'white' christmas with soot all over the urban areas. Rank dumping of waste into nearly all waterways. With transportation by horse, where do you think most of the 'organic' material they dropped went to? Summer was a season of flies and other wonder vectors for disease. I believe people like these should be sentenced to three years in a real third world country without all these 'harmful' modern techologies. Can't wait to see when the first crop failure strikes their 'organic' farms.

#7 SE,

Don't know if you've read "Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson, but he has some great descriptions of what a winter in Chicago was like with all the coal smoke.

#9 A classic example of Gore using # 14:

The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

3. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

4. Bozone (n): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

6. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

7. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

8. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

9. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

10. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

11. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is, like, sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's, like, a serious bummer.

12. Decafalon (n): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

13. Glibido: All talk and no action.

14. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

15. Arachnoleptic fit (n): The frantic dance you perform just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

17. Caterpallor (n): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

#11 It isn't the WP 'Mensa Invitational'. It's the 'Style Invitational'. I had an honorable mention once back in 1994 for my entry in a 'Give someone an appropriate nickname' contest:

Bill Buckner Clinton.

Unfair to Bill Buckner, I know, but what are you going to do?

#14 POTUS GORE is going to SAVE THE SUN BY FORCING THE ENTIRE EARTH TO REGRESS/GO BACK TO THE FUTURE IN THE MIDDLE AGES OR EARLIER. Rather than building the Starship(s) Enterprise or Battlestar(s) Galactica, Gore and the enviro nuts want to make sure every human being and pet dog gets to be toasted by the Sun safe here in good ole doomed Earth, where OWG and American-specific Holocaust/Genocide is good for the earth and everyone, even for future mostly dead Americans, ERGO VOTE FOR THE DEMS IN 2008.
