Dear Al,

Blow me

BALI, Indonesia (AP) -- Former Vice President Al Gore said Thursday the United States is "principally responsible" for blocking progress at U.N. climate conference.

Gore urged delegates at the conference to take urgent action to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

"My own country, the United States, is principally responsible for obstructing progress here in Bali," he said. The United States has opposed including in a final conference document a suggestion that industrialized countries reduce emissions by between 25 percent and 40 percent by 2020.

Thank God yet again this pompous ass is not in the White House.

European nations will boycott U.S.-led climate talks next month unless Washington accepts a range of numbers for negotiating deep reductions of global-warming emissions, Germany's environment minister said Thursday.

"No result in Bali means no Major Economies Meeting," said Sigmar Gabriel, a top EU environment official, referring to a series of separate climate talks initiated by President Bush in September.

Good. Stay home.

I guess you could call it a Bali obstruction.

You're welcome, world.

Eat snow and die, al-Gore. And I hope it's a nice pretty yellow color.

Al Gore is a guy who flunked out of divinity school and law school. He has been searching for recognition his entire life. Now, he has a world stage. No matter the issue, or the damage done. People like him now...
