LAUGH BREAK Gore Signs On to New Campaign (on board waterless urinal corp)

NY TIMES ^ | 11/17/03

For Al Gore, a politician so famously interested in both the environment and technology, the offer to serve on the advisory board of Falcon Waterfree Technologies must have been hard to resist.

"He is very concerned about the world water situation and the crisis that the U.N. is predicting — that by 2026, the world demand for water will outstrip the world's supply by 56 percent," said James Krug, president of the company's international division.

And so he signed on to be a rainmaker, so to speak, for Falcon's marquee project — the waterless urinal.

Mr. Krug said Mr. Gore was urged to join the seven-member board last summer by Marc Nathanson, a lead investor and a Clinton appointee to the Broadcasting Board of Governors. Mr. Krug said Mr. Gore, who is not being paid but receives stock options, had so far "encouraged us to be very active politically to get our message out there, because it's such a compelling technology."

(The technology involves recyclable cartridges and biodegradable sealants, but enough of the dirty details.)

Mr. Gore is no stranger to corporate boardrooms. He and his business partner, Joel Hyatt, a co-founder of Hyatt Legal Services, are developing a cable news channel. Mr. Gore also serves on the board of directors of Apple Computer Inc. and is an adviser to Google Inc.

Waterless urinals are already at Disney World and the Taj Mahal, as well as in numerous federal government buildings, on military bases and throughout the postal service. No word yet on when the White House might remodel its bathrooms.

And to think a couple of glasses of iced tea are all that kept this man from being the leader of the free world...

[Ragirl]

This is just too funny to be true! LOLOL

[Rebelbase]

I wonder if Gore washes his hands after going?

Didn't Al promote the "Gore Flush" toilet that only used 1.5 gallons per hit.

"I carry no man's water!!!"

I like how the NY Times can cite only environmental concerns for Al Gore's presence on this board (of course the stock options he is receiving have nothing to do with it!)

Meanwhile, they see greed and corruption everytime Dick Cheney blows his nose.

Al Gore is gonna be busy in the coming year, Between being a spokesman for "Waterless Unirinals" and starting up his new Cable News Station "Al Gorzeera", I hope he can handle the stress :-)

A front for funding, perhaps? The DNC has some strange bedfellows, but some of these "business partnerships" come across as more than a little strange...

Algore invented urine.

BTW, this is a subject that Algore is quite an expert in. Remember all those tea-tea breaks he took in the White House whenver the subject turned to illegal activities. Algore claimed that he drank so much tea then that he had to go to the bathroom all the time. By strange coincidence those illegal activities were only dicussed when Algore was in front of the urinal. Maybe that is where Algore came up with this idea.

I wonder if Gore washes his hands after going?

Yes....With recycled urine.

...Falcon's marquee project — the waterless urinal.

I thought that was called a litter box.

Maybe he feels bad about this million-gallon photo-op:
