Hot reading And now for some comedic relief: In response to press reports that needy old folks in Britain are burning even thrift store books in their fireplaces to keep warm this winter, some suggest that Al Gore rush to help with this "humanitarian crisis" by airlifting a bunch of his own books to the shivering pensioners. "We are collecting copies of Al Gores 'An Inconvenient Truth,' 'Our Choice' and 'Earth in the Balance' and will send them to Oxfam in the UK to distribute for free to vulnerable people trying to survive the cold weather," said Myron Ebell, director of Freedom Action, a grass-roots political group. "It is appropriate that his books be used to help keep poor people warm since the principal reason the British government is totally unprepared to deal with the brutally cold weather is because they have fallen for the global-warming myths propagated by Gore himself," Mr. Ebell adds. "Burning Gores otherwise worthless books to keep people from freezing is their highest and best use."
