Gored
| Trailers are up for director Davis Guggenheim and former Vice President Al Gore's documentary about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth. Evidently the film received three standing ovations at Sundance. It looks quite good, in an Oh-fuck-it's-the-end-of-the-world sort of way. Good thing the President doesn't believe global warming exists, eh? Watch the trailer here. Also check out Gore's appearance on Saturday Night Live from the other night. |

Al Gore never said he started the Internet. This flat out lie has been thoroughly debunked. For starters, see here. What Gore said was, "During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet." At worst that's exaggeration, but he certainly isn't suggesting he invented the Internet, as right wing pundits like to claim. Gore was saying that he was an political advocate for the Internet before anyone else in Washington. A few of the folks who did help "invent" the Internet, notably Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn, continue to defend Gore for his statement.
