My Feelings are Hurt

Normally I don't do google news searches on "Al Gore", because my doctor says it's bad for my blood pressure. This is another funny thing about being Al Gore - at least once a day, every single day, someone writes something really mean about you on the internet. Just to give you an example, today someone here wrote:

Al Gore - the former vice president, Nobel Prize recipient and Academy Award winner for "An Inconvenient Truth" - has made tremendous money off the global warming hoax.

Maybe it's just because I haven't had my coffee this morning but I find that whole article to be exceptionally hurtful. First of all, even if I were a charlatan, at least I'm not this guy. A 60 year old Puerto Rican who claims to be Jesus? Why not pick on him you right-wing meanies?

Second of all, unlike Puerto Rican Jesus, global warming actually has, oh I don't know, 100 million Gigabytes of scientific evidence to back it up! Not a hoax.

Just as a side note, I had a statue commissioned to hold my Nobel Prize and Academy Award. It's a glass tree, and there will be places within the branches that snugly hold the awards. It's going to be so beautiful you guys! It's kind of like.... the fruits of my labor. Get it?
