  1. Gore’s real estate advice:  DO NOT buy ocean front properties.

  2. Yep.  That’s the level of it alright.  Hits just the right tone, too.

  3. From the Learning Annex site

    Former Vice President Al Gore is one of the greatest civic minds of the 21st century. He’ll share the stirring message learned from his life’s work and you’ll hear his opinion on national and world events – past, present, future. Hear all about his personal goals for the future – and what’s next for this remarkable leader! He’ll even discuss his new film, An Inconvenient Truth, which is sparking debate around the globe.

    Don’t miss your chance to meet & learn from a U.S. Vice President.

    If I had the budget, I’d bold it all…

  4. Fuck it. We’re all going to drown soon anyway.

    You get a sense from him that this is one of those moments in his life where all the work that he has been doing for 30 years on this is coming to a head,” said Davis Guggenheim, who directed the new documentary. “The issue is getting more and more urgent. The writing is on the wall.”

    That’s it, I’m a broken, penniless man.

  7. Where does it say ``close cover before striking’‘?  I sense a safety violation.

  8. #4 “You get a sense from him that this is one of those moments in his life where all the work that he has been doing for 30 years on this is coming to a head . . .”

    Yes, a foaming, frothy head like an inferior beer at room temperature that some joker shook vigorously before pouring.

    Hey, El Cid, you’re a real estate guy; reckon there’s anything you can learn from this distinguished speaker?

  9. Al Gore “Live and In Person”? I’ll buy the “in person” part, but I’ve never seen any evidence of “live”.

  10. #s 1 and 6-

    Damn, beat me to that joke…

    And just what would be Al’s “life work”?  I don’t remember global warming being on the Clinton/Gore platform in ‘92…

  11. I like the way he’s a former Vice President with a docu-movie playing in cinemas around the US ... and so they make a newspaper ad and stick him last in the draw card photo line up. He must have complained too because on the website Tim links to he’s now top of the list.

  15. Glad to see they’re killing a bunch of evil Gaia-warming trees to make fliers for the event.

    Posted by SoberHT on 2006 08 14 at 09:42 AM • permalink

  16. Actually paco, the phrase ``coming to a head’’ refers to the formation of pus, as in the pimple on the chin which reaches maximum size just before your Saturday night date. 

    So Mr. Guggenheim was nearer right than he knew.

  17. I notice that the event is in San Francisco, moonbat central; indeed, that’s the only city mentioned in the ad.  Algore is being pumped as a keynote speaker. 

    And there’s a barely readable footnote on the advert for the keynote speaker: “Please note.  Not all Keynote Speakers are speaking at all events. Please check the city that you wish to attend.”

    And search as I could, I didn’t find anything like a schedule of event.  But, hoo doggie!!, did I find ways to send the event organizers money.

    Hmmmmmmmm…........

    Heh!  I wonder if the Algore fans in San Francisco (and there are likely zillions of ‘em) are being baited here.  There’s no guarantee of Algore being at this event…..but you have to buy the tickets in advance, ranging from $49 just to wander the floor to $300 for the VIP weekend pass.

    Can anyone here spell S - U - C - K - E - R?

  18. #17 As the CEO of Profit Accentuation Conference Organizers, I strongly resemble resent that remark (say, honestly, do you think I’ve set the price a little too high?).

    Posted by paco on 2006 08 14 at 10:23 AM • permalink

  19. I don’t know if Algore knows anything about real estate, but personally I would take investment advice from George Foreman, or any other paunchy, ex-boxer who’s taken about a million shots to the head.

    Posted by Merlin on 2006 08 14 at 11:05 AM • permalink

  20. More from the site:
    Former Heavyweight Champion George Foreman’s greatest talent maybe his salesmanship!
    The promoter’s greatest talent maynotbe his spelling!

    Posted by m on 2006 08 14 at 11:13 AM • permalink

  21. Ex-champ Foreman may have a paunch, but he’s in no way punchy. He’s built a dynamic, multi-million (could be billion by now) dollar business enterprise with his mean lean grilling machines. When it comes to business advice, you could do worse. Lots worse.

  22. But this morning I booked to hear Al give a talk at the Edinburgh International Book Festival - on the 27th!

    Have I been conned?

    I had planned to ask the great man a non-controversial question:

    “Is it more likely that a President Hillary Clinton would nuke Iran than a President Bush?”

    Posted by David Farrer on 2006 08 14 at 12:32 PM • permalink

  23. Absolutely pa-the-tic.

    But we already knew that.

    Posted by Barbara Skolaut on 2006 08 14 at 12:50 PM • permalink

  24. Can RONCO commercials be far off? I can just see Al playing the “ingenue” to Ron Popeil’s gaspy hard-sell infomercial tripe.

    “Why, that’s AMAZING, Ron!”

    He’ll be a natural.

  26. “...all the work that he has been doing for 30 years on this is coming to a head,”

    Is that supposed to be a Gore reference? Because Bill Clinton’s in Toronto at the AIDS conference. I’m confused.

  28. At least it’s Al Gore on “Leadership”, and not on “Winning”.

    (For which they picked the guy who coached the 49ers to 5 superbowls in 10 years.)

    Posted by Anthony A on 2006 08 14 at 05:13 PM • permalink

  29. re #26, LOL andycanuck!  Mayhaps Bubba switched conferences at the last moment, and the copy writers got mixed up.

    Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 08 14 at 05:18 PM • permalink

  30. Anthony, while the self-proclaimed genius Bill Walsh certainly knows about winning, but he only coached the 49ers to 3 Super Bowls. Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame Coach Tom Landry did take the Dallas Cowboys to 5 Super Bowls in 9 years, winning 3. Just keeping the record straight.

    Looks like Al will soon use these franchises to sell his movie.

    I’m not sure a complete matching set of Ginsu knives is capable of cutting through wood as dense as Gorehead, no matter what they can do to a tin can…
