Los Angeles has named a new high school of environment science after former vice president Al Gore and author/activist Rachel Carson. And what better way to honor the two great environmentalists than by building the school on a contaminated site? More »

Good news for Al Gore!
He’s been cleared of all sexual assault charges in the case against Portland massage therapist Molly Hagerty.
The Portland Police and Multnomah County District Attorney announced Friday that “they have recommended…that there be no criminal prosecution” due to the fact that Hagerty failed to provide records related to the case, failed a polygraph test, and all forensic tests of pants kept by Hagerty as evidence were tested negative. And the fact that she was paid by the National Enquirer to tell her story didn’t help either.
It was even discovered in a document that the massage therapist had called Gore immediately after the alleged incident and “told him to ‘dream of a redheaded woman,’ ” which would contradict her story that she was fearful of him.
Al Gore has “emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago” and in a statement, he wrote that he “respects and appreciates the thorough and professional work of the Portland authorities and is pleased that this matter has now been resolved.”
Guess he isn’t quite the “crazy sex poodle”!

Worst. Massage. Ever.
Poor Al Gore. All he wanted when he got a massage from Molly Haggerty at his Portland, Oregon hotel in 2006 was a happy ending some relaxation, but now he’s still stressed.
Aren’t massages supposed to relieve stress?
Sources say that Al Gore was questioned by police in Portland last week about sexual abuse claims from his former masseuse Haggerty.
First, Gore wins loses the presidency to Bush, then he splits with his wife of 40 years, Tipper, and now detectives are reopening this case of sexual abuse allegations against him.
Give the guy a break. He’s trying to save the environment, and he was hilarious on 30 Rock.
We’re giving him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
