Bono Does It Again!

Twice in one week - amazing. Bono has taken a good-natured poke at Al Gore, and put a smile on my face for the second time in a week. Bono & "Father Al" shared the stage at the annual gathering at Davos. From Breitbart.com . . .
I wonder how Father Al feels about being mocked by a rock star.
"He's been round my house and it's like... here's the recycler Al, you know... I've got a posh car, but it runs on ethanol Al," Bono said.
Acknowledging that a career in rock music was not always conducive to a green lifestyle, Bono compared a conversation with Gore to an act of religious contrition.
"It's like being with an Irish priest. You start to confess your sins," he said. "Father Al, I am not just a noise polluter, I am a noise-polluting, diesel-soaking, gulfstream-flying rock star.
"I'm going to kick the habit. I'm trying father Al, but oil has been very good for me — those convoys of articulated lorries, petrochemical products, hair gel."
