I know it is not nice to laugh at the mentally ill, but Al Gore and the Tempeature Nazis are really funny.

First up is the noted inventor who, once upon a time, was also King Goober II's dauphin.

"George W. Bush as Neville Chamberlain?

"That's the comparison Al Gore makes in Vanity Fair's environmentally correct 'Green Issue.'" New York Daily News gossip columnist Lloyd Grove writes.

"The former veep -- President Bush's 2000 election opponent -- keeps insisting that he has no intention of running again for the White House.

"But that hasn't stopped him from writing a gasket-blowing polemic arguing that by refusing to face up to the threat of global warming, Bush is just like the disgraced British prime minister who appeased the Nazis before World War II," the columnist said.

"'Where there is no vision, the people perish,' Gore writes, quoting the Bible to bash Bush.

"Warning that Bush and the Republican Congress have displayed 'a blinding lack of awareness' about 'the worst catastrophe in the history of human civilization' -- global warming -- Gore also blames the incumbent for ignoring the threat of 9/11.

"Bush 'was warned on Aug. 6, 2001, of an attack by al Qaeda. "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US," said the intelligence community in a message so important that it was the headline of the president's daily briefing that day, five weeks before the attacks,' Gore seethes.

"'Didn't he see that clear warning?' asks Gore. 'Why were no questions asked, meetings called, evidence marshaled, clarifications sought?'

"As for Bush's slow response to Hurricane Katrina, 'Once again an urgent warning was ignored. The videotapes of one session make clear that the president heard the warnings but, again, asked not a single question.'

"Americans are finally acknowledging 'that Katrina, as horrible as it was, may have been the first sip of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us over and over again,' Gore rants.

"It's not easy being green."

Or nuts, for that matter.

Next we have the Democrasses' token token, Senator Barack "Roseanne Roseannadanna" Obama.

He accused President Bush of a "stubborn refusal" to attack the causes of climate change, and said tougher fuel standards, stricter curbs on oil imports and more investment in cleaner energy are essential to avert global catastrophe.

"Saying that America is addicted to oil without following a real plan for energy independence is like admitting alcoholism and then skipping out on the 12-step program," said Mr. Obama in a reference to one of the principal themes of Mr. Bush's State of the Union address.

Hoohoo! What an orator! He better have Jesse Jackson teach him how to rhyme if he wants to succeed Queen Hitlery in 2016.


Finally, we have Time magazine (Ha! I thought Nixon had them exterminated decades ago.) and ABC (Obviously the winners in the Katie Couric derby .) News. (Yeah, I know. It's ironic, that use of the word "news" and all, but that's what they call themselves. Honestly, they do. Stop laughing. I'm not making this up.)

"Hello, global warming. Goodbye, journalistic ethics," Amy Menefee and Dan Gainor write at www.freemarketproject.org.

"The new Time magazine/ABC News poll showed about two-thirds of Americans still believe there's a debate about global warming, despite the media's best efforts to convince them otherwise. Americans now face an onslaught of one-sided global warming coverage that downplays or even derides critics and skeptics," the writers said.

"'It's no longer a controversy. Science tells us it's a fact. The new issue of Time magazine tells us to worry,' proclaimed ABC's Terry Moran on the March 27 'Nightline.'

"Time devoted 24 full pages of its April 3 edition to shameless advocacy about global warming, blaming the United States and the Bush administration for destroying the world. Time called the United States 'intransigent' for not joining Kyoto's emissions mandates and the White House's environmental record "dismal." Simultaneously, ABC launched a series of reports on global warming."
