The Frit Award

Frit thanks Yahoo News for reporting that Great Gore and his people turned up at a Global Goring event in three large vehicles after having requested everybody else get there on their bikes. The driver of one of the vehicles then left the engine running for twenty minutes to keep the air conditioning going and keep it cool inside for Mrs Great Gore to return home. Yahoo News goes on to report “The Tennessee Center for Policy Research reported last month that Mr. Gore used as much electricity last year at his mansion in Nashville (one of four homes he owns) as 19 average American homes do. Mr. Gore frequently travels between his homes and to speaking engagements by private jet, which, on a per passenger basis, emits four times the greenhouse gases of a commercial jet.”

Multimillionaire Great Gore is now a strong contender for this year’s Frit Award. This is a golden plaque depicting Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Holy Kofi Annan and the Downright Lama rising into heaven hand in hand from the roof of the United Nations Building watched by smiling staffers, Amnesty International bounders, sundry aid workers, a jealous Jimmy Carter and some furry little animals with ever such sweet eyes. This is awarded to the individual Frit considers to have fleeced and swindled the gullible and the young to greatest effect each year.
