Poor Al Gore. First he has the presidency stolen from him by evil George W. Bush, and now Bush has stolen the famous Gore Effect:

It’s been a chilly welcome for America’s president: The Mideast, known for blazing sun and scorching winds, has been hit with an uncharacteristic wave of heavy rain, frigid gales — and even a smattering of snow …

The weather affected Bush’s trip from the get-go. During his first stop in Israel, morning fog grounded his helicopter, forcing him to take a motorcade to the West Bank from Jerusalem. His plane touched down in the United Arab Emirates on Saturday amid heavy rains. In the Saudi Arabia capital of Riyadh on Monday and Tuesday, the president was greeted by overcast skies and temperatures hovering around freezing.

Bush is even hanging out with a crowd who seem much like Gore’s brigade of wealthy environmentalist hypocrites:

The president was escorted into the wood-paneled, marble-columned hall by the king’s son and preceded by two men carrying silver incense holders that left a trail of pungent smoke.

He’s in Al Gore’s house!

    1. It was hard to tell from the pictures, but I think one of the incense-carriers was our own, Dr. Fruitfly, David Suzuki. He is, as most of you know, a jester in the royal court of the Goreacle.

      P.S. – Wonderful news on the scan Tim. We’ll keep the prayers and best wishes going.

    1. Heh!  Is Bush considering a post-presidential career as an environmental messiah?

    1. I agree with some of the commenter’s in the thread below…Tim, are you typing these new threads from a hospital gurney?

      If you are, don’t those bright lights hurt your eyes?

    1. No offense, but someone needs to say it. This is all Oz’s fault.

      Part of our cultural conquest program demands everyone be on the same weather schedule.

      With you guys totally screwing up the seasons, the adjustments to weather patterning have to be that much more radical.

      Now, just a head’s up. No whining and complaining when we start ripping the earth open and laying it out flat. Once we get everyone on the same day/time system, socializing on the net will be that much easier.

    1. You mean, George Bush is the hidden imam of the Global Warmenate?

      Entirely possible, paco.  Consider that his private home is already environmentally friendly.

      And possibly deeper than anyone knows, paco.  Consider that Lord Goreacle™ is merely a failed presidential candidate.  Whereas Bush held two full terms in office, in spite of all the dissenters and Sauron Soros could do.  Bush might well retire from the White House…..and smite* Lord Goreacle™ for His heresy.

      I fear for the future of the world.

      =====================================

      *: “Smite” as in being locked into a room, and being forced to watch An Inconvenient Truth 24 hours a day for the rest of his life…..with the air conditioning set to 60 F, tightly rationed toilet paper, and a single flickering fluorescent light bulb.

    1. oh dear, what is in the water? (and can have i have some?)
      Bush was treated to an arrival ceremony at Riyadh’s al-Murabba Palace and The National Museum that featured the dance. Before his tour, with drums beating and performers chanting, Bush held a sword over his shoulder and swayed arm-in-arm to the music with his host, Prince Salman, King Abdullah’s brother.
      Sheepishly grinning, Bush seemed to get into the dancing, in a presidentially reserved sort of way.

    1. #7: Good lord! He wasn’t wearing MC Hammer pants and pointy slippers, was he? This is a terrible precedent. If Hillary gets elected, she might be expected to do the dance of the seven veils (note to State Dept.: stock U.S. embassies with eight-veil dance kits for POTUS).

      GrimmyDon’t blame us, I think that the northern hemisphere should cooperate and get into line with the southern hemisphere. I mean, really, people just won’t be happy until the world is a steady 21 degrees all over every day forever.
      Will they.

      Umm.. not sure you’re clear on a particular concept.

      As a, soon to be added, colony, you guys will have the honor of paying federal taxes, but no vote privilages.

      Don’t worry. It’s for your own good. You’ll get used to it. Everyone does in the end… or else.

      Well, it is the Middle East.  They probably fear plagues of pigs and uncovered women more.

    1. That’ll work nicely, Ash!!  I need to bum the recipe for a fantastic “rub” for barbecued ribs, though.  That’ll require a trip to Pensacola, Florida, so I’ll be a day or two.  Direct negotiations, involving serious quantities of booze, are essential and sensitive.

    1. I thought it’d work, TRJS. If you haven’t learnt how to barbecue ribs properly, I’m sure I can come up with something good.

  1. PIG = Professionally Instructed Gunmen (USMC sniper trainees)

    HOG = Hunters of Gunmen (USMC sniper grads)

    Yeah, I’d be afraid of pigs too. But the hogs, now those I’d want a several year head start in hiding from.
