An Al Gore comeback? Tonight on Countdown with Keith Olbermann!
Set those TiVos, folks!

From the Countdown Newsletter:
Al Gore, at the beginning of the upcoming documentary feature "An Inconvenient Truth," introduces himself to an audience gathered to hear about global warming by saying, "I'm Al Gore. I used the be the next president of the United States." After the laughter dies down, he says, with an affable straight face, "I don't find anything particularly funny about that," and he gets an appreciative, though just slightly uncertain, second laugh. Then he launches into what he calls his slideshow - a clear and concise explanation that he has reportedly given about a thousand times around the world, aided by impressive animated mega-graphics on an enormous screen behind him - of what Gore (and a growing number of others) calls a planetary emergency. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=1945893&page=1
This documentary was all the rage at Sundance... Is it part of an Al Gore comeback?

Please see this interview and then pledge to see the movie when it comes out and take 5 friends. It's too important not to.

4. I'm not in love with Oberman - sometimes he does suck
sorry, but IMO, true! - especially when he has those lame reporters on his show. ;(

7. I don't get your point, but I also don't have the $ for Tivo. ;)

On edit: I don't follow the MSM but numerous sources to include my local paper and The Whorsington Post (Still the news vice editorial side has redeeming features and stories).

5. I do. You better believe I do! I also tivo Lou Dobbs on Tuesdays. He
sometimes has Randi or Steph Miller. I never missed an appearance. Then of course I tivo TDS and Colbert, and The Simpsons. That's about it for news programming.
