With Al Due Respect, We're Doomed

The lawmakers gazed in awe at the figure before them. The Goracle had seen the future, and he had come to tell them about it.

What the Goracle saw in the future was not good: temperature changes that "would bring a screeching halt to human civilization and threaten the fabric of life everywhere on the Earth -- and this is within this century, if we don't change."

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, John Kerry (D-Mass.), appealed to hear more of the Goracle's premonitions. "Share with us, if you would, sort of the immediate vision that you see in this transformative process as we move to this new economy," he beseeched.

"Geothermal energy," the Goracle prophesied. "This has great potential; it is not very far off."

Another lawmaker asked about the future of nuclear power. "I have grown skeptical about the degree to which it will expand," the Goracle spoke.

A third asked the legislative future -- and here the Goracle spoke in riddle. "The road to Copenhagen has three steps to it," he said.

Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) begged the Goracle to look further into the future. "What does your modeling tell you about how long we're going to be around as a species?" he inquired.

The Goracle chuckled. "I don't claim the expertise to answer a question like that, Senator."

It was a jarring reminder that the Goracle is, indeed, mortal. Once Al Gore was a mere vice president, but now he is a Nobel laureate and climate-change prophet. He repeats phrases such as "unified national smart grid" the way he once did "no controlling legal authority" -- and the ridicule has been replaced by worship, even by his political foes.

"Tennessee," gushed Sen. Bob Corker, a Republican from Gore's home state, "has a legacy of having people here in the Senate and in public service that have been of major consequence and contributed in a major way to the public debate, and you no doubt have helped build that legacy." If that wasn't quite enough, Corker added: "Very much enjoyed your sense of humor, too."

Humor? From Al Gore? "I benefit from low expectations," he replied.

Obama’s thermostat setting: “He likes it warm;” Prediction: Mrs. Obama will shop for cardigans today.

Looks like another case of more “shared sacrifice” for thee, but not for He.

After lecturing us all to turn down our thermostats to “72 degrees at all times” on the campaign trail, The One moves into the White House and promptly cranks up the heat to tropical temperatures! (Hat tip - Ed Morrissey)

Obama and Gore are two of the biggest hypocrites to ever walk planet earth. The pair of them are cut from the same 'do as I say, not as I do' cloth. Buffoonery at its finest.

He's even more looney than before... Gore's a joke.. thank GOD we never elected that hysterical buffoon

I knew that was going to be hussein's M.O. long ago. He sat front and center listening to his 'personal friend', the reverend wright, for TWENTY YEARS, listening to the frothing at the mouth, racist rants, but yet had no problem with it UNTIL he had Presidential aspirations. Hussein is a two faced little prick. A hypocrite. Do as I say, not as I do is EXACTLY what that hollier than thou little twit is about. As much as I'm hoping the ass wad doesn't do grave damage to America, and might accidentally do some good, I hate the mother fucker none the less.

That's exactly the point of the first article! While humorously written, its true.

Turn the thermostat *down* to 72??

Good Lord.

You are supposed to turn it down to 65 and put on a sweater.

I wear a blanket at home. Bought a "cuddle wrap" from cabalas. It zips up and snaps around my arms. Keeps me toasty warm, but it does make it difficult to do my chores.

 

[doeton]

yeah, and what's with the limo and air force one?

these presidents and their high fluting ways....

LOL our thermo is at 65 as well. I do get a little chilly in the late afternoon/dinner time so I inch it up to a tropical 66 or 67 degrees. Anything higher than that, I'm sweating.

I wonder if the O-man set his thermostat at 77 degrees when he was footing the bill? Never mind, we all know the answer to that one. Watch and see what power does to him.

 

[doeton]

yeah, i've heard folks even get free outfits...

 

[doeton]

i'll tell ya though.

man, it's going to be tough choice at the liqour store tonight.

that extra tax bill for heating the white house is really wearing on me...

You don't have a problem with O-man wanting to give $400 million (or is it billion?) to Global Warming research and instead of you know, leading by example and reducing his 'carbon footprint' (lol, I wonder who came up with that little gem of a phrase) by keeping the thermostat in the WH down, he cranks dat souljaboy up but good, cause man he likes it toasty? He's a hypocrite.

lol.

i really don't give my credence to the source of this story.

what is clear is that the Great and Holy O's appointment of Stephen Chu and his efforts towards green power are thousand times better than the actions of the texas monkey.

lol.

i get that a lot you need heroes to worship.

that your lives are incomplete with someone to look up to.

the doeton is just above that.

 

[garyd]

You mean someone to laugh at right? By the way nimrod setting your thermostata at 68 all year is going to give you a hell of an electric bill in the summer. At least if you live somewhere south of Saskatchewan.

Has anyone seen his ugly mug lately? Methinks the Gore has been hitting the botox a tad too much. His eye brows make him look like Spock's deranged looney cousin.....
