You guys, there is the most nauseating article in Vanity Fair right now. It’s an article which sings the praises of Al Gore’s book Our Choice, and more specifically, of the POEM HE WROTE IN IT.
I’m sure he’ll be the next Pulitzer winner. There is absolutely no question in my mind that whatever awards are possible for Al Gore to win, he’ll win, because he has so many people snowed. In fact, I’m surprised that he hasn’t yet won a MTV music video award.
Wait. Has he? I could be wrong about that.
Anyway, allow me to share some of the adjectives the article’s author chooses to use about Al Gore and his poem: fresh, beautiful, evocative, disturbing, accomplished, nuanced, arresting, and my favorite – scientifically accurate. Isn’t that hilarious? Here is the poem in its entirety:
One thin September soon
A floating continent disappears
In midnight sun
Vapors rise as
Fever settles on an acid sea
Snow glides from the mountain
Ice fathers floods for a season
A hard rain comes quickly
Then dirt is parched
Kindling is placed in the forest
For the lightning’s celebration
The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools
I think Al might think he’s a shepherd. Shepherds are known the world over as inventors of the internet. I wasn’t sure if you knew that or not.
Meantime, the amount of CO2 being emitted at the Copenhagen meeting is equivalent to the daily amount of carbon dioxide produced by 30 of the world’s smaller countries.
NEAT!
He’s super-duper-serial, you guys.
That may be one of the worst poems I’ve ever read. And I’ve read some crappy poems.
“Here are your tools”
he was talking about his followers…..right?
mga, i think he is a tool!
what a steaming pile of cow pucky!
Derangement is the only explanation. It is more than obvious to anyone with a brain. Now, how do we get the medical authorities in Tennessee to have him committed?
it would be a hard thing to do, papa kilo.
remember, even charles manson and jim jones had followers as well. what’s really sad is when he can write a “poem”, that appears to have been done by a third grader at best, and people fall to their knees in praise of it.
sorry state we’re in these days. it’s hard to convince idiots that their idol is also an idiot. kinda reminds me of that comedy movie “Idiocracy”.
Al Gore, Vanity Fair, and their followers show what happens when you dumb down education for decades.
The whole enviroment movment is based on lies and junk science the facts are RACHEAL CARSON lied about DDT it wasnt harming birds as she had claimed in her book SILENT SPRING and PAUL EHRLICH has been wrong as well in his book THE POPULATION BOMB and AL GORE is wrong in his junk science fake documentry A INCONVENT TRUTH
Didn’t Thomas Malthus try that population crap about 200 years ago only to be proven VERY wrong?
Wow, how dumb was Ehrlich to hitch his wagon to that star?
