I wondered why we’ve never seen them photographed together. I mean, the opical limitations of wide-angle lenses only goes so far to explain it.
Ironically, my TW for that comment was optical.
I know that this is more of an Ace of Spades comment, but I can recall thinking I’d hit it when she was a Vulcan chick.
Dan, it was the pointed ears, wasn’t it?
– My goodness. Gore on space. And he uses it to take yet another swipe at the Bush administration.
– I sometimes wonder if the lefty assholes will find a way to steal a WhiteHouse dinner menu, and work that into a Bush bash. Maybe something like “Tenders of constant beef, Bash potato’s, ankle bite ribs, and a good aged whine”…
“The war in space has already begun.”

How’d you know? Well, that and the breasts.
Well, that and the breasts.
Gore invented the wonder bra too?
BTW…Looking at Alley, you have to admit Scientology really keeps you young and fit.
He had to do something to hold up his tits.
It’s been awhile since I took hubristicology, but I think he be hyperbolizing a bit here.
I knew Hugh Bristic. And you, sir, are . . . well, shit, I guess you ought to know.
Al invented dipshit.
Funny that he couldn’t just use the noun, he had to go for the adjective. His brain pathways must look like a plateful of spaghetti. I’m surprised he didn’t say, “That’s hubristic-ish.” Just for the extra nuance.
– Dan – the update puts it all in perspective… He was cowardly and Lion all the time…
…and Alley looks even better with a hair ribbon…. although the pubic hair could use some trimming…..
Is “FuzzyThinkingâ„¢” a Bush Sr. invention? Or is that fuzzy math?
Sounded like Al was expressing a sadness for the lack of interspace Swedes or galactic Saudis for the U.S. to share sovereignty in space with. So, does he propose we don’t do anything substantial up there until all EU nations have launched?
We’re excluding others?
The Russians?
The Chinese?
The Japanese?
The ESA?
This message fucked up the format of this blog on my browser, and I’m not even sure I get it. Is the point of this post: Kirstie Allie looks like Al Gore; Al Gore is against Bush’s space policy; Al Gore sucks; therefore we shouldn’t worry about Bush’s space policy? I have no feel for the blizzard of guest characters posting stuff on this blog nowadays, so I don’t know where they’re coming from, but that’s what I think is being said.
I’m not a fan of Al Gore, but that doesn’t mean I automatically think anything Bush does is right because he’s on “my team” and Gore’s on “their team”, which is really the message I get from this post. I don’t know what I should support on space policy, but my first reaction is that I’m not too comfortable with Bush sending a signal to other countries that could be provacative and generate hostilty. And I say that knowing that this is inconsistant with my view of foreign policy right now in the War on Islamo-fascism here on Earth. But space seems a different deal (for now) and I don’t see the need for leaping to unilateralism. Wouldn’t that give an excuse to other nations to start viewing space more militaristically?
I’d have to research this a bit before I know what to think. But I can’t help but think of Bush’s father saying, “Wouldn’t be prudent.” We haven’t had much conflict in space. Why stir things up when you need not?
And btw, if I went by an actual photo of Kirstie Alley, there’s no notable resemblance between her and Gore.
Loaf, one should never read a Dan Collins post literally.
Gore’s relevance on this issue is the same as that enjoyed by Kirstie Alley.
After all, Gore’s nuanced approach to global warming, supported as it is by irrefutable, empirical, reproducible, unfalsifiable evidence is proof enough that he must be informed enough about everything to render a weighty decision on space wars, eh?
He did invent the internet, after all.
And – sheesh – Gore really should have treated the rabies while there was still time.
– Actually Olaf, that artwork is a pic of Kristy before, and is a bit dated… she’s put on a few pounds since then…
– Maybe Gore should take a look at Spacial warming next…..
Actually, boys, Kirstie has been whipping it all back into shape with a little help from her friend Jenny.
I don’t know about you, but I’d hit it.
– Yes….she seems to have hit on a plan to make a comeback….by working her way up to two celebrities in one body….
Surely you jest. Did you not read Sanity Inspectors link above?
Even that was a tad misleading, implying that the trend is relativly new. What do you think the space race with the USSR in the 60’s was all about?
The GPS satillite system wasn’t about having mapquest in your car, it was for military purposes.
I don’t have proof, but I would submit that the large majority of the space shuttles missions are military at the core.
Al Gore is a putz.
Oaf, what you say is valid. I made fun of Gore for the sake of making fun of Gore, but I do think that there’s a resemblance between the two. Besides which, I think that the guy talks through his hat all the time. The guy has zero credibility. None. And it’s pretty clear that he could use a little time behind a mule team steering a plow.
The other connection with Fat Actress, which I never saw, is that he’s celebrity qua celebrity, despite efforts to burnish his importance with the movie. His audience is international anti-Americanism. These doofuses who preen themselves on bravely speaking truth to power, knowing that there will be no consequences, irritate me. So, yeah, it’s pretty unfair, I guess.
Finally, it was a slow Saturday night, and it was a topic that we hadn’t discussed here, and which I hadn’t seen discussed at the blogs I frequent. It provided a pretext for your commentary. I’m glad that you expressed your disagreement with me and pointed out the poverty of my post, but it really is a matter of my providing an opportunity for you to speak what’s on your mind. Think of it as the coin toss and consultation with the I Ching, if you like. If I have an argument that I want to make, I’ll make the argument. I think that this is preferable to the dread open thread, though. If you disagree, here’s your chance to tell me.
And next time I’ll try to be a bit less drunk, so that I can resize the photos to suit your requirements.
Not In My Blue Yonder!
– Gore ass is just another dawg in the Lefts rumor campaign machine, the object of which is to keep up a constant drumbeat of ankle biting and contextual distortions, trying to generate the impression that there’s always something sinister going on in camp Bushco. Most of his screeds are assinine, but they don’t give a woof-fuck, as long as they accomplish the intended effect.
– Of course when Bush releases part of the same intel Harman and company leaks to the press within hours, he pees in their nefarious scemes cornflakes, so they always have some bullshit waiting in the wings to keep the ball rolling.
– The US is in space effectively, the Russians barely maintain on the space station, and no one else has the money, technology, or clout to do anything beyond lob a few sattelites. His crappola hyperbole is empty pudding for political effect. Nothing else. He should stick to blowing global hotair out his ass. At least it plays to the base.
The breakfast of paranoiacs.
