“He’s been a prophet without honor, and now finally, the United Nations and all of their scientists have said, ‘Al Gore, you’re right,’”
-Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) calling Al Gore a prophet.
Here at MoreCowbell I try to stay far away from politics (unless I get my Great Soapbox out OR I get mad), this is not that kind of blog, this is a happy go-lucky kind of blog and we are striving to keep it that way (unless I don't). This is in no way a political post.
In the past I have made fun laughed with Father Al, maybe I shouldn't have, especially since he has achieved the status of "Prophet".
Ever since Father Al won his Oscar, I started thinking perhaps I’ve been wrong about him, after all, I know the Academy to only give Oscars to outstanding Directors! I started to reflect that just because I’m a Republican, it doesn't mean I shouldn’t care about the environment, you know, like us Republicans do!Therefore I’ve decided to do my part and join forces with Father Al.
"The planet has a fever," Says G0re "If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor. If the doctor says you need to intervene here, you don't say, 'Well, I read a science fiction novel that told me it's not a problem.' If the crib's on fire, you don't speculate that the baby is flame retardant. You take action."
As soon as I read this, I knew the cure. As Bruce Dickinson once said: "Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription...is more cowbell!".
“While the cowbell is commonly found in musical contexts, its origin can be traced to freely roaming animals” (Wiki) …cure fevers AND now and henceforth, cure our planet’s fever.
I've seen the light! And it only took an Oscar and a $1,200 a month electric bill.
"Stop Teh Fever, Perform the heck out of a cowbell" is one (and perhaps the only) way I'm doing my part:
July 24th? Duh! It's only the hottest day of the year.
Won't you join us performing the heck out of a cowbell to stop Earth's fever on July 24th, 2007?, if you don’t have a cowbell, just use a regular bell (you just won't be AS effective, but oh well, I guess you just don't care about the environment as much as we do).
PS: Wiki has a page dedicated to List of Fathers or Mothers of Something and guess what, Father Al is NOT listed as the True Father of these here Teh Internets. Tsk, tsk, I am so disappointed Wiki.
Labels: From Teh Internets, Thank You Father Al
"If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll laugh at you (but I'll tell you I'm laughing with you...or next to you".
I love that. And the picture of Al Gore and the Oscar... hilarious.
