The Republicans may have control of Congress, but Al Gore has control of the future.
The former Democratic vice president has a guest role on Sunday's season premiere of Fox's animated sci-fi comedy "Futurama," supplying the voice of his own disembodied, scientifically preserved head.
(ROFLOL !)
"I think I may have a future as a disembodied head," Gore joked in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday. "I'm not sure that any political calculation would have steered me toward this part, but it was great fun doing it."
"Futurama" chronicles the 30th-century life of a hapless time-traveler named Fry, his raunchy robot pal, Bender, and their cyclopean space pilot Leela. It is the brainchild of "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening.
In Sunday's episode (7 p.m. EST), Gore's head is introduced at a global-warming convention as "the inventor of the environment and first emperor of the moon." He's also known as the author of "Earth in the Balance," and the "much more popular `Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth."'
Gore's daughter, Kristin, was a writer on "Futurama," and the politician previously played himself in a May 2000 episode. Kristin Gore is now working on a new sitcom for CBS, her father said.
Her main advice for her father's performance.
"Loosen up," Gore laughed.
In the world of the present, the former vice president is considering making another run for president in 2004.

That was not enough warning. There could never BE enough warning before posting that awful photo!
The great debates of the 20th Century...
Ginger or
MaryAnne?
Betty or
Veronica?
Wilma or
Betty?
And now for the 21st Century we have...
Leela or Amy?
This may be the toughest one yet...I'd have to go with the more mature Leela here.
HiiiiiiYAAAAA!

time-traveler named Fry, his raunchy robot pal, Bender... God, you can't make this stuff up. Is "Bender's" first name Bill by any chance? LOL.

Silly stuff! Check it out, if you are interested. It's on in about 3 minutes (in the eastern time zone) on the "regular" Fox channel.

I want Matt Groening(with his best lead writer of all time) to team up with Trey and Matt and whoever made family guy. They can make the funniest and most offensive show ever. I think the Family Guy is/was hysterical. Very satirical and politically incorrect to boot. But apparently there aren't enough like-minded, sick individuals like myself watching it.

Definitely Amy shes rich and more feminine besides Leela's voice is done by the Peg Bundy actress so she might turn out like Peg lol.
