Scary movie

Scary movie Al Gore lost the presidential elections in the us but he has kept himself busy. How? By reinventing himself. At the famous Sundance Film Festival, a highly acclaimed but surprising entry was An Inconvenient Truth, a film on global-warming starring, guess who? Yes, Al Gore. In us movie circuits, usually home to liberals and democrats (Al Gore is a democrat), it got people gushing. It's an independent production of the director Davis Guggenheim and Al Gore is hard sold in it as a lawyer holding forth on global warming.

The documentary invites the audience into Gore's personal life. We hear him speak emotionally about losing his older sister to lung cancer and nearly losing his young son in an auto accident and how that made him a better man.

Somebody ought to tell Gore, the rest of the world (lets exclude the us administration for a while) knows all about global warming (and doesn't care about his personal life so much), and we know of it from better sources. What we want to know from Al Gore is what is the us doing about it besides sabotaging the Kyoto Protocol.
