Temperatures may have been freezing in Washington, DC yesterday, but the reception Al Gore got from the Washington Post was even chiller.
They dubbed him The Goracle, poked fun at his pompous predictions, laughed at his tortured phraseology, and cackled about kowtowing interrogators. They said:
“Mostly, however, the lawmakers took turns asking the Goracle for advice, as if playing with a Magic 8 Ball.”
“Prospects for regulating a future carbon emissions market? ‘There’s a high degree of confidence.’ The future of automobiles in China and India? ‘I wouldn’t give up on electric vehicles.’ The potential of solar power in those countries? “’I have no question about it at all.’”
We got out our Magic 8-Ball and asked it a few questions. This thing’s good.
Is Al Gore a pompous ass? “Signs point to yes.” Is global warming some kind of scam? “It is decidedly so.” Is this article about finished? “Without a doubt.”

Washington Post, Goracle, Magic 8 Ball. Won’t believe it ’til I see it. Where’s the link?
The WaPo lampooning the Goracle? Maybe the hot-air express has run out of steam at last!

I do know why you doubt it though. Must be all those public debates Gore has held with people with opposing viewpoints. Oh wait–he’s consistently rejected doing any. Hmmm…wonder why?

The religion Global Warming peaked amongst the masses in about 2007…around the time of those stupid Gore concerts.
But the Government is just getting started in “enforcing” it. They see it as an easy route to money and control.

It’s all about power over the people.
