GORE’S NEW PRIZE--

The boys down at Slick Freddie’s Pizza Shack on Ogle St. were not too impressed with Al Gore’s recently shared Nobel Prize for environmental work.

Slim even recalled the fact Gore, while belittling Americans to conserve on their consumption of electricity awhile back, lives in a mansion in Tennessee that then used 20 times as much electricity as the average US home.

Bubba asked, “Ain’t that a bit hypocritical?”

Slim whacked Bubba’s high-five with some good-ole-boy enthusiasm.

Bubba was even more surprising when he noted a British High Court in London just ruled “...the ‘apocalyptic vision’ presented in Gore’s film (An Inconvenient Truth) was politically partisan and not an impartial analysis of the science of climate change.”

Bubba added, the judge went on to rule officials could show the film in British schools “on the condition it was accompanied by...guidance notes for teachers to balance Gore’s ‘one-sided’ views.”*

Slim was wide eyed with astonishment at Bubba’s new-found, worldly awareness.

Not to be outdone Slim wondered if this might not boost Gore into joining the herd of contestants in the 2008 presidential race.

Bubba opined, “I ‘spect so,” then went on to remind Slim how Ms. Hillary had slam-dunked Gore when the Clinton’s first occupied the White House by staking her claim on the vice-president’s traditional office space for her own digs and sent Gore and staff packing to the basement.

Bubba added, “Why, that’s about as awful as a-sellin’ bad moonshine to the mother-in-law.”

Slim rolled his eyes and said, “Lez git to the football game.”
