Gore continues to write his own gospel, recently claiming in an interview on ABC Australia that a court ruling in the UK went in his favor, when it is well-known (even in the distant Antipodes) that the judge held that Gore’s Cli-Fi movie, An Inconvenient Truth, contained nine significant errors of scientific fact.
For some reason, monomania comes to mind. Here’s a definition that fits Gore as snugly as a size 60 sport coat from the Big and Tall Men’s Store :
Monomania is an emotional or mental disorder that impacts the ability of the individual to interact with his or her environment in a balanced and productive manner. Essentially, monomania is a condition in which the sufferer is so focused on one idea or emotion that it is impossible to function normally. An individual who suffers with this disorder is often referred to as a monomaniac.
The term monomania is created from the Greek word monos, which refers to one, and mania, which refers to an excited state. People who exhibit monomaniacal attributes become so focused with a single emotion or concept that the majority of their waking hours are devoted to this single subject. In most cases, paranoia is increasingly present as the condition deepens, with the monomaniac often believing others are seeking to negatively impact the obsession in some manner.
Mark my word: the intensity of his obsession will one day lead to a synaptic meltdown, and he may well wind up embracing the symbols of that which he now opposes – if not the lascivious young coal-heiress aforementioned, then perhaps NASCAR or large-tank toilets.
And frankly, I think the crisis will come soon. Al's hallucinations are getting worse…

Thanks, K. I get off a goodie every now and then.
ReplyDeleteIt was the analogy of the century, Paco. Almore Goretry is out to skin us out of our last dollar, if only we will believe! Thus saith The One, through his Gorepostle, St. Al the First. Indulgences available at the table by the door.
