Fresh out of one of the coldest, harshest and snowiest winters the United States has ever seen the question begs for the asking, "Where the heck is Al Gore?". Old "Mr. Internet Inventor" himself has been the invisible man ever since the wicked winter arrived along with those nasty accusations of sexual misconduct and, oh yeah, his wife of forty years unceremoniously dumping him. It seems the "Weather Wizard" would rather hide out, perhaps getting more naughty hotel room massages or inventing another computer superhighway, than face a public that now seems to view him and his ideas as "kooky" and "foolhardy" and even "mentally challeged". It doesn't help his cause that while jetting around the country, racking up massive debts of carbon credits, he was accused of, at the very least, boorish sexual behavior outside the bounds of his marriage, and at the very most, the alleged attempted rape of a hotel masseuse in Washington state. My guess is he's probably biding his time, waiting for a warm snap to happen, so that he can spring out of his shame closet and enlighten us all again with his quick wit and enormous ego, which, come to think of it, after what that masseuse had to say about his groping hands, is probably not as big as it once was. Perhaps Old "Lizard Lips" will use this time to re-invent himself for public consumption. With all the humiliation he has brought on himself in the last year it would certainly behoove him to try and do something to take the "kick me" sticker of his backside. It will be interesting to see what eventually brings him back into the public's view.
