GORE'S MOMENT IN THE SUN...

Well, enough of Obama for now. We all know he's headed for Mt. Rushmore, which will be a fabulous public works project employing thousands, and generating the manufacture of about a billion pounds of dynamite.

It's gonna be kinda hard to get the ears right...but we've got some talented folks that can probably handle it.

But Al Gore has already been enshrined in ice. It won't be forever, of course, due to the fact that Alaska is the new Miami Beach (soon).

A Fairbanks, AK businessman unveiled an 8 1/2 foot tall ice sculpture of the former Vice Perpetrator on a flatbed truck near a liquor store in downtown Fairbanks. His purpose is to spark debate about man-made global warming...and a friendly invitation to Big Al to visit the Alaskan interior for further research.

From the Fairbanks News-Miner article:

Compeau unveiled the sculpture — created by a local artist Steve Dean — near the downtown Thrifty Liquor store, where he said it will stay through March or “until it melts.”

The 8 1/2-foot-tall sculpture dominated the corner from its perch on the back of a flatbed truck.

Compeau used Monday’s unveiling to publicly invite the Nobel-winner to visit Interior Alaska — specifically, Tetlin Junction, where reports indicated temperatures earlier this month bottomed out at close to 80 degrees below zero — and explain, first-hand, global warming theories. He even offered specifics — if Gore travels by electric car and speaks exactly one year after then temperature there hit bottom — on Jan. 8, 2010 — Compeau and others will cover his room and board.

I think Al oughta take these old boys up on it.
