Another busy weekend at VRWC headquarters...

Let's see. We got;

This guy, a newcomer to VRWC stardom; Rep. William Jefferson, D-La, actually taking cash, not bending campaign finance rules like Delay, but actual, easy to understand bribery. There goes the DNC's "Corrupt GOP" motif.

We got the new star who keeps on yielding dividends, Mayor Ray;

...and the DNC actually working to undermine him. (OK, we had to pay extra for that nice touch, but, its still looks good, huh?)

And, whoot, to cap off a very productive session, we have the man, the legend, Mr. Second Fiddle, the anchor, as it were, of the national scene, Big Al;

Now, in the first one, yeah, we had to get the FBI involved, cough up a cool $100k AND keep our finger prints off of the deal. The second one required a bit more finesse and less blunt cash force to get people running around thinking they were supporting DNC skulduggery while actually shooting themselves in the foot, but, this last one, this is, simply, art.

The oil industry and its Republican allies are rooting for Al Gore, albeit unintentionally.

Most people don't even think this kind of subtlety is even possible any more in the information age, but, there it is. We flat out root for Al, have them report it as such AND get them to claim it's unintentional, that we actually weren't rooting for the guy.

It gets better, the very next line;

Gore stars in a movie that opens this week in New York and Los Angeles.

Oh, THAT New York and THAT Los Angeles? You mean the last two places in the universe that still have Air America, albeit sharing airspace with the accident report station on AM, but still. See where this is going? It's like saying they serve hamburgers at McDonald's. No kidding? Al in NYC? LA?

Then, he ALMOST gets it;

Ordinarily this film would never have been made, let alone scheduled for release in hundreds of theaters. But President Bush and the congressional Republicans have created a Ross Perot moment: a hunger for a leader with diagrams and charts, for a nerd who lays out basic facts ignored by blinkered government.

Hey, Fahrenheit 9/11 made it so we never had to spend another dime on Michael Moore. You go with what works. If they insist on discrediting themselves, by all means, step aside.

The rest of it goes on with the typical pablum that we are, at least in some undefined measure or other, killing mother earth with HER oil, perhaps melting this or that which, of course, threaten rising tides which threaten, of course, LA and NYC.

The last time Al blurted on to the stage with this stuff was in, of course, NYC, some few January's back to announce the revised doomsday or point of no return and it was, as we planned, a record cold day.

So now, though it wasn't easy, we once again have Al girding his loins for battle and decrying the end...in perhaps the coolest May we've ever had.

So, if this bothers you, if you feel the VRWC is not respectful enough, just remember; we can only use the tools you provide us with.

...what he's really pizzed about is that we trademarked that line and we get 20% off his going rate to keep up this 'we can save the world if we just stop using oil but it's really, really, really, REALLY almost too late' gig. He likes the line. They laugh. He uses it. We get a discount.
