Al "Earns" the Oscar for Docu-drama.

We can all rest this morning because Hollywood "dun da right tang" last night by shoveling the Documentary Feature Oscar to Al Gore over films that exposed world torture, abuses, self help successes, and other relevant topics. Thanks Al, for failing at everything in your life so that you can lead the world into the 19th century. Maybe we should call Al the the "First Amish President."

This brings to mind a Seattle Times enviro-story about Phillip Mote, a University of Washington climate wonk. The article says:

"Mote gives Gore's presentation, featured in the hit movie "An Inconvenient Truth," an A-minus on the science. He marks Gore down for claiming that global warming is behind shrinking snows on Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, for example, and for saying that changes in ocean currents could throw Europe into deep freeze.

But when he met Gore at a dinner in Seattle, Mote balked at telling Gore he disagreed with him. "It was just too intimidating for a nonconfrontational person like me," Mote said.


Say What? It's too intimidating to point out that Gore's docu-drama is based on zero science? That's it's based only on communist/socialist elitist thinking? It's too intimidating to point out to Gore that he needs to once in his life do the right thing?
