Gore’s Son Is Facing Charges in California After Freeway Arrest - New York Times:
Just before "Live Earth" young Gore gets attention for 100MPH (NOT MPG) in his Prius.
Impressive
(oh yeah, pot and Rx Pharma too)
Dad was busy with media prep for the event.
Seems it may not have been as much of a hit as it was touted to be.
We missed it ... enjoying great weather.

Cool Reception to ‘Live Earth’
Posted by Gabrielle Coppola
Iain Murray of Planet Gore notes the cool reception to the Live Earth concert this weekend, citing a peak audience of 4.5 million, compared with 9.6 million for Live 8 two years ago: “Is it really any wonder people didn’t tune in? [B]izarrely silly pledges scrolling across the bottom of the screen…like “Tony B has pledged to turn off lights he’s not using” summed up the spirit of the event: public recognition and plaudits for promising to do things your grandmother would have clipped you across the ear for not doing.”
There was also criticism from within. Willy DeBacker of 3E Intelligence criticized Live Earth for spawning more carbon emissions (through the millions of tuned-in TV sets, not to mention the air force of private jets flying entertainers around), and questioned the effectiveness of concert-activism."Why Live Earth concerts will make no difference! � 3E Intelligence
