Beam me to Planet Gore !

Here's the first thing you shouldn't do in front of Al Gore: Be skeptical about catastrophic, human-caused global warming. He will rip your reputation apart, just as he once did to reputable, honorable scientists in congressional hearings.
Here's the second thing you shouldn't do in front of Al Gore: Ask him whether he himself might have the kind of conflict of interest that he takes for granted in others. For heaven's sake, do not get into the question of whether he might make a lot of money with the passage of a global warming cap-and-trade tax that he has been fighting for.
Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee thought it might be interesting to find out. After all, Gore is associated with a venture capital company that has invested about $1 billion in companies that just might make a bundle should cap-and-trade become law. So she asked if he would benefit.
Emitting a sigh made infamous in a debate way back when, Gore first replied that "a green economy . . . is good for all of us." He then said yes, he was a partner in the venture capital company, adding quickly and emphatically that "every penny" he made from environmental investments went to the non-profit Alliance for Climate Protection.
With a smirk on his face, he huffed that no one who knew him would ever think he had been working on the global warming issue for 30 years for "greed." When Blackburn said she wasn't making accusations, he said, "I understand exactly what you're doing, Congresswoman. Everybody here does."

That was a mistake. Why shouldn't she question how much he had to gain being the high priest of a cult? Somebody has to shine some kind of light on this flimflam man.
I don’t think he takes to it kindly when you ask him if he was always that corrupted or if he gradually grew into it...;’}
[Yes, that is just *5* degrees above FREEZING in an area that relies heavily on fruit orchards for income. The new fruit blossoms will be lucky to escape harm]
"Global warming", my cold scrawny @ss.
>>>It is now the middle of MAY and the low temps for Sunday and Monday will be 37 degrees.
And here in corn country, we have frost warnings overnight.

I would ask anyone who reads these posts to pray for the farmers facing economic ruin from “global warming”.
The “lowly farmer” is the backbone of this nation.
Things have gotten so messed up here, they haven’t even planted the corn yet.
It used to be they tilled in late February/early March and by now, the corn would be 2 feet tall.
After losing so much to “late frosts” [ha!] they wait til they can be sure they won’t lose their crops.
So far, I’ve seen one cutting of alfalfa and few Timothy fields are about 2-3 weeks away from the first cutting.
No corn sprouting, anywhere.
Have another bag of donuts, Al...
You must be mistaken:
"every penny" he made from environmental investments went to the non-profit Alliance for Climate Protection.
What bookkeeper doesn't know into what column to put Saint Algore's assets?

Inspiring people to take scuba lessons for decades.
Can I airmail you a 25’ tall Mulberry tree like right *now*?
Oh, we've got mulberry trees all over this town. And tall, majestic date palms.
"Oh, why is the nightingale singing at noon...on the mulberry bough?"
Wright and Forrester did their homework. And you have to be a total Broadway theater geek to get that. ;-) (I freely admit that I am one. LOL)
Anyway, Marsha Blackburn ROCKS!
Yes but *yours* are not in peril of frost tonight and mine *is*....8-O
[and just when the berries had started growing, blast it all]
I wish you could send it. We’d keep it nice and toasty for you until it decides to act like spring or summer where you are. :)
It hasn’t acted like spring or summer here for *years*.
We’re lucky if gets warm by the end of June and luckier still if it’s not cold by the end of August.
Used to have ~wonderful~ weather from late March to early November....then we entered the ice age...:))
[and right now...it won’t *stop* raining! arrrgh!]
