Actually, as shrill and hysterical as the movie was, I thought at the time An Inconvienent Truth was released it should have been an opera...
...I just wonder who's going to play the polar bears allegedly trapped on shrinking ice floes...

It's not over until the fat lady sweats.

Prepare for global weeping.

Will the methane-producing cows be played by tenors or baritones?
Posted by: Danny | May 29, 2008 at 11:39 AM
Danny, they're the wind section of the orchestra.

They may also be the reason the fat lady went up in flames.

Al "Thor" Gore will play the fat lady's understudy.

Special guest star guitarist: Pat Methany?

Maybe they should email the libretto to these folks; they should have plenty of time on their hands.

It can't be any worse than this -- can it ??
Posted by: Steve Haller | May 29, 2008 at 12:39 PM
That's got to be bad for the environment somehow.

I think you could make a lot of good operas out of books by former vice presidents.
Posted by: Danny | May 29, 2008 at 01:00 PM
sounds like a good cure for insomnia to me....
Posted by: Becky | May 29, 2008 at 03:53 PM
For it to truly be an opera, someone has to die. Any suggestions?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 29, 2008 at 07:00 PM
meanie,
how about him
Posted by: frodolives | May 29, 2008 at 08:40 PM
An excellent choices, fro. I thought it might be spectacular to give the opportunity to the author himself.

Posted by: frodolives | May 29, 2008 at 09:30 PM
Meanie - it might be hard to tell when he's dead.

That's when the Applause sign lights up, Annie.

Ba-dum! I actually like the guy. I was willing to take boring over stupid any day. Still am.
(No, I'm not hitting on you.)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 29, 2008 at 11:56 PM
I wasn't even remotely serious about that, and though they may not send thrills up and down our spines, uncharismatic yet competent leaders would be quite a plus.
And, please don't misunderestimate my stupidity.

Considering the global cooling over the last 10 years, and the traditional Brunhilde costume associated with the fat lady singing, she might actually be colder than a witch's (British bird)...

Now I understand why we see AlBore flitting through the neighborhood in a tutu.
