Oh…my…God. Al Gore is actually MORE boring than I thought he was and “An Inconvenient Truth” is actually one giant political ad for his 2008 White House run!

I’m certainly no fan of Al Bore, but I was interested in sitting down and watching An Inconvenient Truth, but I can’t say exactly why. I’m pretty sure that global warming (a) is happening, (b) is probably bad for us and (c) we citizens of the earth will never actually get our act together enough to do anything about it (regardless of how important Al Gore thinks he is). So, I didn’t really need convincing from the former veep and the probability that I would be inspired enough to join the Sierra Club or recycle my Diet Pepsi can as a result of watching the movie was very, very low. I guess, like all politics, I watched it for the sport the same way I sometimes watch meaningless NFL games. Now, I didn’t make it through the whole movie (I started to fall asleep about two thirds of the way through it) but my wife watched the rest of it later and reported that the ending was pretty much the same as the beginning, so I’ll take her word for it.
I am happy to report, however, that I do feel as though I learned something from the part of the movie that I did watch and I have compiled a list of the things that I think I learned:
This movie was about as boring and useless (to me) as I expected it to be. I really do hope that we figure out what to do about this global warming problem (I, for one, plan to move to higher ground sometime in the next 10,000 years) but I just wish there was a way for Al Gore to invent something that can return to me the hour or of my life that I spent watching his political advertisement. I would give him credit for an invention like that….but I still wouldn’t vote for him.
