The Pendragon's Hall

How bad does it have to be for American politicians to be taken to task by Canadians? Al Gore is being sharply chastised by the premier of the Canadian province of Alberta for his comments regarding the oil industry. Gore whined that to extra a barrel of oil they use enough natural gas to heat a home for four days.Where he gets his statistics I don't know (as they say, 98% of statistics are made up on the spot) but Ralph Klein, the Conservative Premier, had angry words for the erstwhile presidential candidate: "I don't know what he proposes the world run on...maybe hot air." If so, Al Gore could do the first truly worthwhile thing he has done in his professional career. In the meantime, while he orates meaninglessly, the polar ice caps are melting and polar bears are drowning. I'm serious. I got an email the other day asking me to take action to protect the polar bears from drowning becaudse the icebergs they normally use for boats are melting. What these people won't do for an issue. Kudos to Ralph Klein--one for making it in politics when his mother obviously named him after fashion designers, two for being a Conservative and three for taking to task one of the biggest blowhards in the western world.
