The last time many of us heard from Al Gore was 2000, when he was selected as the 43rd president of the United States by voters.
Unfortunately, this was not the candidate selected by the Fab Five (Antonin, Anthony, Sandra, William and Clarence.)
Al is back in the news recently for a couple reasons.
* This funny appearance on Saturday Night Live. Watch it here or read the transcript here.
* The New York Times had this interesting story on Gore last week. It tries to explain why Democrats seem to run away from losing presidential candidates. "We tend to treat our losing nominees like Superfund sites," a longtime democrat is quoted in the story.
* His new movie on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," comes out this week. It won't open here in the midwest for another week or two, so I can't comment on the film.
What I can comment on, however, is my view that the biggest pro-life issue facing all of us is protecting the environment and saving the planet. If the planet dies, we all die -- plants, animals and humans. Please note that if Terry Schiavo were still alive, she'd be threatened too.
