Oscar Goreming

I’m not sure if this is a spoof. Washington Post:   

Incredible as it may seem, Al Gore is not only totally carbon neutral, but geek-chic cool. No velvet rope can stop him. He rolls with Diddy. He is on first-name basis, for real, with Ludacris. But what does this mean? And how did it happen? Did Gore change? Or did the climate — political, cultural, natural — change around him?

In an e-mail exchange with The Goracle himself, “AG” typed to The Washington Post that the Oscar craziness and pageantry of the film premieres has been fun (his word) “but I’m old enough to know that a red carpet is just a rug, so I’ve been able to enjoy that part of it without losing perspective.”

Just a rug, people. Because, Gore continued (this was on Friday during a break from his tux fitting): “Actually, for me, the most moving moments have been in conversations with people who have told me that the movie had a big impact on the way they think and feel about our moral responsibility to protect the Earth.”

I’m going to hand the envelope to Tim Blair.

   I’ve heard about mass hysteria before, but I’ve never seen it for myself until now. I think Homeland Security needs to start testing the water. This just has to be some clever enemy ploy to make people forget we’re at war.

   Just read ‘em. Maybe I’ll find time to do more with ‘em later. (And some things that are too short to excerpt and too good to not mention.) Please feel free to use this post for comments and trackbacks not

   So everything I read about Al Gore leads me to believe that he’s nothing more than an upscale suburban version of the Reverend Moon or Jim Jones, only instead of a nutball reiteration of God, his venue is global warming and the environment. Far more accessible to the average suburbanite than God, but no less a cult of personality. Pretty good for somebody without much of one.
