Al Gore and Tipper Gore Separating After 40 Years Of Marriage

It was a romance that dates back to their high school graduation dance. Married in 1970 Al and Tipper Gore marriage endured the rocky political career of former Vice President; it endured the mercurial personality of Tipper Gore but now it Al and Tipper Gore are splitting up. The Al and Tipper Gore separation is official it seems.

Politico obtained an email and later confirmed that Al and Tipper Gore were in fact separating though it is not been confirmed if they will get a formal divorce.

This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”

Al and Tipper Gore have four children and live in Tennessee.

Religious Ignorance Strikes Again (not verified)

Yes, because everyone shares your beliefs and morals, Luke.The rest of the world is tired of ignorant, fanatical, fundamentalist tools like yourself. Your choice to remain ignorant of reality doesn't make reality any less real -- but it does earn you a coupon, redeemable for a few hits upside the head with the Clue Stick (tm).Hit #1:Your religion professes that Deity has granted Free Will to humans. Hence, they can choose their own beliefs and morals. The Gores have chosen to separate rather than continue in non-functional cohabitation.Hit #2:In the US, there is a Constitutionally-protected right guaranteeing every individual the right to his or her own religious beliefs. The fact that you hold yourself to a medieval belief structure (a relic of a less civilized age when people wore animal skins as clothing, lived in huts made of sticks, and subscribed to social structures such as feudalism and economic class based on birthright) does not require the rest of the world to do so

The funny thing about the timing of this announcement is that it comes just about nine months after the revelation that all of the core information from the University of East Anglia in England that the Oscar Award winning movie (some insist that it was a documentary) was trumped up, fixed, fitted, and distorted in order to prove the theory of AGW ... or human caused climate change.

Nine months just happens to be the gestation period for humans to create a baby. In this case, given the announcement itself now that the Gore family has two multi-million dollar mansions, one has to ask ... does this prove that the world is actually cooling and not warming?

What is next, will the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences be asking for their statue back?

Will carbon credits end up having to be refunded? ... Probably, but not until after Tipper Gore gets her share of the presumed profits from the Gore Family fortune!

what does that outdated book say about husbands being committed to their wife (wives since it is ok according to the Bible for men to have more then one wife). But of coarse it was written by men
