Al Gore Gets Crazy About Global Warming

On NBC’s green week, Al Gore stopped by Saturday Night Live and gave a little news update about global warming. If you can get past him way too obviously reading the cue cards, it’s pretty darn hilarious. Since no one is taking global warming seriously, his plan is to sell crazy. My favorite green idea is trees with guns. Too funny.

Take a look…

Election Flashback

Four years ago, during the Presidential Election we were faced with a choice between a white male who was a little too stiff (Al Gore) and a white male who was a little too cowboy (George W. Bush).

First we got Al, then we got George, then we got Al, then we got George – then we didn’t know who we got due to a bunch of hanging chads in another Bush’s state – then it went to the supreme court and we ended up with George W.

Both men went on to change the world in their own unique ways.

Gore went on to write an Inconvenient Truth and galvanized to make the world a greener place, less reliant on oil.

Bush went to war and proceeded to make $50,000 feel an awful lot like $30,000. Both with oil and the price of it. Conveniently (or Inconveniently depending who you are), also the source of his family’s fortune. Now, that’s a thing that makes me say Humm.

Now, we’re here again, as is our way in America. This time I’m a little happier.

First there’s more diversity this election: We’ve seen the first woman (Hillary Clinton), the first black man (Barack Obama), the first hispanic (Bill Richardson), and the first Mormon (Mitt Romney) candidates. Have there been other Baptist preachers (Huckabee)? I dunno. Other Ob/Gyns (Ron Paul)? I doubt it.

Happily, none of the candidates appear to have a personal financial stake in oil.

Please, no hanging chads this year.
