Al Gore NEVER takes the inconvenient transit.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York City says free newspapers hawked at subway entrance are causing flooding on the tracks during heavy rains, The New York Times reported.

The authority said the papers fall on the tracks and clog the drains.

A spokesman for New York City Transit said the agency increased the number of workers who clean trash off the track bed to 198 from 118 over the last year, and there are two vacuum trains that clean underground sections of track, but the problem persists.

You think Gore would consider that a bad thing ? Are you kidding ?

That's what he'd spin as "creating good jobs for Americans."
