Although headlines about the UN conference on Global Warming in Bali on December 13, 2007, trumpet Al Gore's attack on the U.S. and President George Bush as "obstacles" to "progress," PoliSat.Com's Washington Bureau Drawer Chief has learned from a highly reliable (though sometimes reliably high) source that in a private, unguarded moment at the Bali conference Gore made a slip-of-the tongue admission that in a private meeting following the recent White House ceremony honoring Gore and other winners of the Nobel Prize for Peace Bush had exhibited a strong commitment to help Gore stop Global Warming.
All progressive people who love Mother Earth now recognize that there is no doubt that Gore has now become the "Pope of Global Warming." This first became clear in the prequel to "Inconvenient Truth," which was titled "Da Gorgle Code." Although it's clear that Gore is basking in the glory of now being the World's Foremost Moral Authority, speculation persists among political insiders that his real strategy is to await being anointed to run for President in 2008 by the "Draft Gore" movement.
Gore taking "center stage" at the Bali conference has intensified the fervor of the "Draft Gore" movement, which had found encouragement in the recent escalation of political warfare featuring Hillary Clinton knocking Barack Obama and vice-versa as shown in a political video. (Although the best quality versions of that political video are here, lesser quality versions in YouTube format are here and here). What will Gore do? He was last seen here (or here) driving to the next "Global Warming Concert" in his latest invention, the GoreMobile.

Jim is a proud descendant of 18th Century criminal exiles from England who swam to the Outer Banks when the British ship taking them to a Georgia penal colony sank in a storm near Cape Hatteras. Having the prescience to prevent their descendants from becoming "TarHeels," they immediately migrated to Virginia, where, within just a few generations they worked their way up into poverty. Jim's grandfather was the first in the family tree to see the distant horizons, but his career was cut short by severe injuries he sustained when a cousin cut down the tree.
After a brief stint in the Amry (ours) following graduation from law school, he began his legal career in the state bureaucracy but was never able to break into the federal bureaucracy. Several years later, he entered the private practice of law and co-founded a small law publishing company. Later, finding the publishing of small laws unstimulating and finding his private practice too private to be lucrative, he began writing political satire/commentary. His greatest vice is taking himself too seriously.
Although he regularly teaches Continuing Legal Education courses to lawyers, he's too-often available through he Rubber Chicken Speakers Bureau to speak on politics, satire, etc., at luncheons, dinners, root canals, funerals, etc. His speaking fees are so outrageously high they border on criminal price-gouging, but as a free-market advocate, he defends his fees on the higher moral ground of charging whatever the traffic will bear.
