EFFECT EXAMINED
Lee at Right Thinking examines the before Oscars and after Oscars movements of the Gore Effect (first described here, I think). Meanwhile, Bad Cat Robot emails:
It’s nearly March, the cherry trees have started blooming here in Seattle, and now this:
Gore shouldn’t be buying carbon offsets. He should be sending heating certificates to everyone in his flight path. This is officially ridiculous.
Now let us pray:
I have been thy good servant
and done all, nay even more,
than Thou hast asked of me.
Surely I will be rewarded
with your blessings from on high
as you pass over
in your glorious Green Jet.
Via Michelle Malkin. See also this fine Gore wrap-up from Bill Hobbs.
Let’s not discount the efforts of the League of the Worried!
(Stumbles through door) Yes! Registration is still open! (Notes disapproving looks in room, dusts self down, salutes with wrong hand, pokes self in eye)
Don Charleone, social secretary of the VRWC’s Scotland branch (membership - me, 3 sheep and a West Highland terrier named Colin), reporting for light scalawag work and possibly some minioning here at VWRC International HQ. Anyone here who knows anything about Scotland will appreciate that the local work’s a lost cause.
Um, so, something on-topic… notwithstanding the genius of gerbil worming, Goebells’ warning etc., does anyone else think the phrase “gloomy warbling” pretty much captures the whole sorry zeitgeist?

Posted by Don Charleone on 2007 03 01 at 11:20 AM • permalinkSomeone should get on the stick and start selling carbon offset offsets. (Gore offsets?)
In fact, I’ll volunteer: send me $50,000 and I’ll buy a classic V8 muscle car, fill it with premium gas, and do some burn-outs.

Hey Wronwright!! We may finally have an alternate to that Sumerian mead you’ve been trying to unload. Me thinks that the Scottish branch needs to furnish its first initiation fee. Hint, it comes in bottles, is aged, and has character.
It kept snowing overnight. I’ve got an update photo here, at the bottom of the post.

Posted by Don Charleone on 2007 03 01 at 01:46 PM • permalink#9. I can’t open that yet, since I’m at work, but that doesn’t appear to be named after a quaint unpronouncible Scottish loch, baile or croft. And I doubt that it’d be mistaken for aqua vitae. Am I mistaken?
DOn’t get me wrong. it would still beat Sumerian mead by a mile ( at least what Wronwright pawns off on us).
Hello, Scotland. Welcome.
Does anybody know when the new PACO Industries repellent “Gorebegone” will be available?
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2007 03 01 at 03:45 PM • permalink#11 - it’s certainly unpronounceable. They actually included it in their jingle for a while (probably NSFW, but it depends where you W).
#13 - general import/export: olive oil, Irn Bru (actually pronounced aahhrrn bbhhrrew) ... Sumerian mead, not so much.
Posted by Don Charleone on 2007 03 01 at 05:28 PM • permalink#2 Is that the League of Worried Voters, Habib?
#12 & #14 There are temporary shortages of Gorebegone©, or to use the full, actual product name, Petulant Anal Celebrity Obliterator, due to the very high demand for PACO© after the huge midwestern and Southern Ontario snowstorms generated by Mr. Gore’s trip to Toronto, passing over “flyover” country rather than using Amtrak, and (sort of) winning the Oscar. In fact, many PACO© shipments are ready to go but are stuck in airports closed due to the horrible weather. PACO Industries regrets any inconvenience caused.

Welcome aboard, but don’t be surprised if there are some unpleasant missions involving peat bogs and a man named Wron McWright.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 03 01 at 08:13 PM • permalinkWell, the knee-deep snow I just waded through to get some more firewood is about to be capped off with somewhere between 10 and 15 more inches of “Gore dandruff” by this time tomorrow.
Remember back on groundhog’s day when the joke was that Gloebbel Warming was upon us because Phil had predicted an early Spring?
I heard John Michael Howsen on 4BC radio this afternoon saying that Al Gore actually OWNS the company that he’s buying these carbon emission thingies from. He also said that Jack Nicholson was the only person sitting while everyone else was giving Al Gore a standing ovation at the oscars. I knew I liked Jack Nicholson.
Posted by Flat High C on 2007 03 02 at 06:01 AM • permalink(wronwright wakes up with a slight headache caused by drinking a bit too much Sumerian mead. He nods when thinking it was worth the pain. Suddenly he’s assaulted by the sound of a bagpipe.)
Aeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye.
I don’t know who you are. But if you’re a new registrant to the VRWC - Blair Unit, you will have to stand over there with Under the Somethingorother and the other newbies.
And PUT DOWN THAT INFERNAL BAG PIPE!
Posted by wronwright on 2007 03 02 at 06:26 AM • permalinkOh dear, sorry Wronwright. I promise to hand in my bagpipes to local constabulary and only screech like a scalded cat in future.
Yep, returning to the newbies corner as we speak.
Posted by Flat High C on 2007 03 02 at 07:46 AM • permalinkIgnore Wron, he’s like that every time a drop of nectar passes his lips. Unfortunately, his lack of appreciation for fine manly music is incorrigible.
Cheers
