EARTH—Former vice president Al Gore—who for the past three decades has unsuccessfully attempted to warn humanity of the coming destruction of our planet, only to be mocked and derided by the very people he has tried to save—launched his infant son into space Monday in the faint hope that his only child would reach the safety of another world.
"I tried to warn them, but the Elders of this planet would not listen," said Gore, who in 2000 was nearly banished to a featureless realm of nonexistence for promoting his unpopular message. "They called me foolish and laughed at my predictions. Yet even now, the Midwest is flooded, the ice caps are melting, and the cities are rocked with tremors, just as I foretold. Fools! Why didn't they heed me before it was too late?"
Al Gore—or, as he is known in his own language, Gore-Al—placed his son, Kal-Al, gently in the one-passenger rocket ship, his brow furrowed by the great weight he carried in preserving the sole survivor of humanity's hubristic folly.
"There is nothing left now but to ensure that my infant son does not meet the same fate as the rest of my doomed race," Gore said. "I will send him to a new planet, where he will, I hope, be raised by simple but kindly country folk and grow up to be a hero and protector to his adopted home."

I love that!
Also, I happened to notice in a sidebar that a new store is opening for Fanny and Sunflower. No mention is made of prospective coupons.

Edited to note: Well, the personalized tinyurl didn't work exactly the way I wanted!

Yada yada yada. Everyone talks about the weather and nobody does anything about it. Good for Al. I hope the new planet has plenty of gratuitous weather and few hanging chads.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I wonder if he included some snacks, you know, in case Kal-Al gets the munchies.
