That $300 donation will always be remembered. Well, that and the extravagant lifestyle AlGore leads while claiming the moral high ground.

I wish I hadn't needed to excerpt the column at that point. I'll mail it to you, but the jist of it is that Algore's spokesman defends Algore by saying that you can't put a price on the time and energy that he devotes to his pet cause of Global Warming (Theory).

BTW, if it weren't for Global Warming (Theory), is would there be anything else that made Algore even the slightest bit relevant? Maybe there is a method to the madness of SUVs and private jets and giant mansions.

I am beginning to think that Al Gore is pushing the global warming ‘theory’ because it drives up the profits on his carbon credit trading enterprise.

Heh, Gore has made a pretty penny on his Chicken Little act, hasn't he? He's got a great scam going, going everywhere wringing his hands and crying that we're destroying the planet, trying to make others feel guilty about their energy use At the same time, he's getting rich selling his wealthy friends and hangers-on 'carbon credits' so they can continue to use all the energy they always did, they just don't feel guilty about it any more.

With all the investigative reporters trying to make their chops in the world, it's a wonder SOMEONE doesn't look into this. I guess, though, they'd never win any sort of prize by exposing one of their own as a fraud. Now if President Bush or VP Cheney were doing something like this, I can guarantee you they'd be all over it like white on rice!
