Gore Predictions

In the aftergow of Gore's Nobel Peace Prize (co-)victory, an excited James Carville lofted up a Hail Mary of predictions: A 25 percent chance the Man of Peace will enter the race, according to the Yeas and Nays blog. He adds, "I don't think it's too late." Please. Any suggestion Gore wants to dive into the thick of looming state registrations, no organization, and a cashed-up Clinton, is arrant blather. You can't blame the guy for willing a little suspense into a snoozer race, though.

I predict that in the next 48 hours there is a 39.5 percent chance Mr. Carbon Footprint will hear there is no earthly way to convert a Gulfstream V to run on vegetable oil. He will then decide to fly commercial-only to global warming cocktail parties (86 percent chance), where there is a 99 percent chance he will air kiss thousands of champagne socialists out of a few billion (over/under: 5) in the next year as he gets a free pass on science questions because he is “raising awareness.”

Oh, and speaking of the Peace Prize, I predict the indignant backlash against the politicization of the Nobel Peace Prize will shame those clowns to into actually sticking to donor intent for a year or two (Just kidding -- 10 percent chance of that). Hey, comrade, if we’re all toast, what's debasing a medal?
