Rheo Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Sundries Shack:Oh joy and rapture, Al Gore is writing another book! I know, I know. The very idea of 300 or so pages from such a scintillating wordsmith as Gore is enough to stir the soul to heights of heretofore unknown bliss, but I have better than an idea. I have a summary of the book from the author himself!Please, sit down before you read this, lest your knees buckle in reflexive ecstasy and you do yourself a grievous injury.With this new work, I hope to help start a conversation about the large-scale drivers of change that are defining and shaping our future — from the rapid development and integration of radically new technologies to the planet-changing impact of the climate crisis, to poverty, globalization, and the democratization of knowledge accompanying the emergence of a ubiquitous Internet linking ever more intelligent devices.Hang on. I need a cigarette. Let me pass this over to Andrew Malcolm while I compose myself.The book was acquired by a new Random House editor, noted talk-show guest Jon Meacham, who recently led the Newsweek print edition into oblivion.Wait, is that the very same Jon Meacham who put Gore on the cover of his magazine as “The Thinking Man’s Thinking Man” and unilaterally declared him the winner of the 2000 election? Huh. Seems someone already had a crush on our Global Warming HIgh Priest, doesn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltbag Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 So, what's the carbon footprint of printing and distributing garbage literature? If he cared about the environment and his cause, he'd distribute it freely through his interweb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I noticed today when I was scanning the Guide on the dish that there is a new channel called GREEN and it is located right next to the Current TV channel. It must be another Gore and company money losing boondoogle. I don't get it. How can they do it and why. Has to be a reason and a motive somewhere and I've been looking for it for a couple of years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
