Intellectual “Gore”
“Gore” in the horror movie sense, that is.
The Nation does it again. Another incredulous rant.
This piece takes exception to “Powerpoint Politicans” who pledge action against the following:
The war against cancer
• The war against terrorism
•The war against sexual exploitation of children
• The war for medical insurance coverage for all
• The war against poverty
• The war against the war against the middle class
•The war against drugs
•The war for family values
•The war for God
•The war for diversity
All battles worth fighting, in my view.
But here’s something REALLY important:
Gore would end the era of the incandescent light bulb. They burn too much electricity. He would fix a date about ten years from now after which their manufacture would be illegal. From then on, instead of bulbs, our bright ideas will come in the form of those high-intensity, low-power squiggly bulbs which, Gore says, are getting better.
Now we’re saved. I’m glad we’ve picked our battles so wisely.
I’m hoping this was satire.
