Al Gore: Winning for losing
They said that if George W. Bush were elected, the rich would get much richer and large American corporations would oppress the weak, and they were right!
Al Gore just won a Nobel Prize for teaching the world to think green, but he's also showing he knows a thing or two about another kind of green: money. Since 2000, according to published reports, the former veep has transformed himself from a public servant with around $1 million in the bank to a sparkling private consultant with a net worth estimated to be north of $100 million. He's a senior adviser to Google, a board member at Apple and now a newly minted general partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the Silicon Valley venture-capital firm that made billions investing early in Netscape, Amazon and Google.

Al is pursuing that old '60s strategy of destroying the system from within. That and he needs a lot of money to pay his electric bill.

I would hesitate the use "Gore" and "think" in the same sentence. The only real good the guy has done is to make it evident just how correct P.T. Barnum was when he said "There's a sucker born every minute". Carbon Credits indeed!!!

Rather appropriate for the guy who invented the Internet, though, wouldn't you say?

And just how much carbon do you suppose all the servers at Netscape, Amazon, and Google (heck, Google alone) produce???
Oh, but, they all buy offsets you say? Don't you mean...they funnel money back to Al Gore and his cronies in exchange for his consecration of their brands in the Green movement?
