07/09/07 the Fearless Live Earth Leader's Fourth of July

It wasn't a very good Fourth of July for a certain someone environmentalists call their "Fearless Live Earth Leader" one Mr. Al Gore. In a story that has received nary a peep, Al's son, Al Gore III was arrested early the morning of the 4th on suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs after being nailed by a cop for speeds up to 100 miles per hour in his Prius! Things went from bad to worse for Al . Saturdays Live Earth concerts, the pinnacle his celebrity and rock star pandering that were scheduled to occur around the globe to highlight the worlds climate crisis sort of fizzled. The Rio de Janeiro concert that projected a million in attendance and was dubbed the "world's largest beach party", was abruptly canceled along with the Istanbul leg, for lack of interest . According to one Rio rock band member, Rafael Kalil, "people were more concerned about football and going to the beach than a global warming concert". Ya think! The remaining concerts playing last Saturday left the fearless Live Earth Leader with another quandary? Who would clean up the mountains of trash left behind by concert goers in the name of the global warming ?
