Weird Al
I was just reading with great amusement Al Gore's latest screed on climate change in which he decries meat eating, and by extension industrial agriculture, as significant contributors to global warming.
Funny, by looking at jolly old Al, one would have thought that he's connected to a meat IV 24/7. Apparently not. Perhaps he's actually being fattened up with 55-gallon sacks of cornmeal like a prize pig in the Tennessee State Fair?
On second thought, how stupid can I be? This is certainly just another classic 'do as I say, not as I do' Goreism.
I'm getting a clearer picture now.

The guy with the carbon footprint of a small republic is wolfing down a 48 ounce porterhouse on board his private jet while in transit to a lecture on responsible global citizenship somewhere in the South of France.
He did purchase carbon offsets, though, albeit odd ones—volunteering to nurse a large litter of newborn goats with his ample man-teats. How organic of him. Take that industrial farming complex.

Leadership begins at the top, you know.
Be careful industrial farming industry, or Al and his liberal buddies are going to do for you what they've done for the financial, healthcare, and energy sectors.
On the bright side, I do see millions of green jobs in our future. Yep, once there are no more giant agriculture corporations producing all that nettlesome food, each and every one of us is going to be forced to plant a backyard garden in order to feed ourselves and those who are starving in third world countries. Very progressive.
Don't worry, if that doesn't work, I'm sure food stamps can be produced from reprocessed cornstalks.
The picture is becoming clearer, yet.

To demonstrate that he is somewhat in tune with our current dire fiscal situation, Al, in a conciliatory nod toward increased government efficiency, suggests that the same IRS department that ensures we each have healthcare coverage also police our backyard gardens. Clearly, a Tea Party Patriot in the making.

All of the aforementioned pales in comparison to the best part of Gore's philippic—where he criticizes climate change skeptics and essentially compares non-believers/doubters with those who didn't see the light on racism in decades past.
He says that when racist comments were uttered years ago, "There came a time when people said, 'Hey man, why do you talk that way? That's wrong; I don't go for that, so don't talk that way around me. I just don't believe that.'" He wants believers to do the same when people express doubt about global warming.
Besides the fact that nobody has said 'Hey man' (or 'Hey bro' for that matter) since Beverly Hills 90210 went off the air, isn't it so very typical for Gore and others of his ilk to suggest censoring those with opposing views rather than substantively debating the facts?
Obama is the worst president in history, hands down Case closed.
Hmm, must be catchy.

So glad you finally got the harpoon into Big Al. What an idiot!
