Just a thought, but shouldn’t a serious environmentalist choose not to take charter flights?
FractionAir, which provided charter jet service to people ranging from former Vice President Al Gore to Titans coach Jeff Fisher, is seeking to restructure to avoid bankruptcy.
The Nashville-based company provided corporate travel service to executives and others seeking to avoid commercial flights.
Still, Gore is doing fine with the bookstore community:
There were 22 groups of 25 people at noon.
Gore is more popular than the World Cup!
Shortly after, shrill screams erupted from the crowd. Al Gore was in the building.
An understandable reaction. Gore must be used to it.
The former vice president made his way to the front of the room, receiving handshakes and approving pats on the back from those who gathered in the lower floor of the store to see him.
“The size of the turnout is four or five times greater than I expected,” Gore said, greeting the crowd.
Al can’t even predict crowds at his own book signings, but people take him seriously when he predicts we have only five to ten years to avoid cataclysmic warmenizing.

- Actually, if you ever saw the movie “Help!”, you’d know it was one group of 25 hustled out the back door and around again 22 times…Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 06 25 at 12:51 PM • permalink
- Where ya been, Tim? Al’s charter flights are carbon neutral, therefore permissible. Carbon neutrality, that’s the thing.Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2006 06 25 at 01:04 PM • permalink
“I thought the movie was incredible,” Nathan Miller said. “Global warming has actually been an issue that has scared me to death. Ever since I was five years old, I remember crying myself to sleep, thinking the earth would be flooded. And it’s true, it’s really true.
Goes a long way in explaining the pathology of this group.

- “I thought the movie was incredible,” Nathan Miller said. Agreed.
Ever since I was five years old, I remember crying myself to sleep, thinking the earth would be flooded. With hilarious physiological results, I bet. Are you over that little “problem”, now?
And it’s true, it’s really true. Sure it is, Nat. Just like the time you traded the cow for a sack of magic beans. And what did get, then, a leafy ladder to the giant’s castle in the sky? No, you got a backyard overrun with zucchini.
Grow up, you pusillanimous clods! As Lionel Trilling said, “We have a moral responsibility to be intelligent.”

- Massively O/T, but in response to Stoop Foley Fole about 20 threads down (where he’d never find my response):
Many of the names we use in English for other countries and peoples are actually names that other people gave them, or are derived from places within those countries.
Well it all sounds perfectly reasonable but I’m against alla that, too. They should have a big ol’ pow-wow, at the UN or someplace, and vote down a universally arbitrary set of pan-national nomenclature that everybody had to abide by. Consider it a test of their damn United-National legitimacy, snort, and if they can’t make it happen, I vote we get rid of ‘em. The UN I mean, not Croatia or Switzerland, or even Persia, at least not right away.
Will you be very surprised if I tell you that the UN, in fact, does do something like that?
- I posted the following set of links at ‘Ballon Juice’ for the benefit of Gore’s movie watchers who think the movie lends credibility to the human-induced global warming theory.

‘Superman’ is coming out this summer and will not doubt persuade doubters that he does, in fact, exist.
- The rank hypocrisy is very common in the far left.
The Greens do it often: http://weekbyweek7.blogspot.com/2006/01/greens-hypocrisy-do-as-i-say-not-as-i.html
and the Green left weekly crowd are equally guilty: http://weekbyweek7.blogspot.com/2006/06/green-left-weekly-hypocrites.html

How does he do it?
Maybe this?: Idiot savants are a group of humans that are incapable of learning, writing or reading, yet they have unlimited access to specific, accurate knowledge in the fields of mathematics, music, and other precise areas (like earth’s climate). Now the irony of an idiot-savant is that this group of individuals does not acquire knowledge by learning as the average human does. They mysteriously ‘know’ explicit, exact, correct information. One may wonder: “How do idiots savants know certain information or possess certain skills?” By whatever means they obtain this information, they undermine current definitions about intelligence. Does their knowledge show that a source of intelligence exists? Is it possible to tap into this source and not know of its existence?
Hmmm, could it be?
- World Cup, World Cup! Tim, it’s still on..
The number of cards in the awful Portugal -Netherlands 2nd half proves my point about the ridiculous dominance of the ref in this sport. All FIFA can do is moan about it…
Portugal stalled the whole game this way, and won.
If free kicks close enough to goal to score were awarded for ALL yellow cards, there would be scoring as a penalty and disincentive, and I’m sure the dirty and unfair play would be controlled by the players by that.
Aussie Rules never has such a mockery of a game, because it has rational scoring, and strong rules for refs to apply to keep control.
- Balls Barrie -the Socceroos are experiencing an International offshoot of the “non V.F.L. syndrome” where Aussie Rules teams that are from other pariah states -get shunned by the referees -and commentators.
One of the reasons why Victorians are universally disliked in Oz..try driving with Victorian plates elsewhere hmmm.
Fraction Air sounds dangerous -like its Aussie counterpart SlingAir..now that’s tellin ya.
- Convenient jets – it’s the Messianic Syndrome. Since they are spreading the word of Gaia Al Gore, Laurie David et al feel that they are entitled and they need to get everywhere quickly so the little peopele don’t have to. See, they come to you. All you have to do is give them your vote or your money (for the carbon vouchers, of course).
- R. S. Lindzen Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science at MITin todays (6/26) Wall Street Journal provides a classical Gore quote: “When Stephanopoulas (ABC interview)confronted Gore with the fact that the best estimates of rising sea levels are far less dire than Gore claims in his movie, Mr. Gore defended his claims by noting that scientists ‘don’t have any models that give them a high level of confidence’ one way or another and (Gore) went on to claim-in his defense– that scientists ‘don’t know…They just don’t know’”.
Here is proof #17 that Gore is a natural idiot savant.
(The rest of the article demolishes Gore and his co-religionists.)

Of course I will, aren’t I always? But rest assured, I’m against THAT too! Those bunglers will get it wrong, plus take too long, plus find new ways to make it cost too much, at every step of the process! But thanks for asking.
