An Inconvenient Question

“Why do you sit up in heaven while the world’s ozone layer rots?” Another new voice appeared. This time it was from another angel, he had graying wings. He was a little on the chubby side, and he had neatly combed gray hair.

“Me dammit!” Tom explained. “I knew I shouldn’t have made you an angel! I don’t know why I have angels in politics, let alone democrats!”

“Hey, you invited me.” The man said. “And it’s not my fault I got a nobel prize for An Inconvenient Truth....and inventing the internet!”

“You didn’t invent the internet, and that crappy-ass movie of yours isn’t even half true!!” Tom boomed. “Now I banish you, ya damn liberal!!”

In a puff of black smoke, the man who I was starting to think was Al Gore was gone.

Tom was shaking his head. “Politicians make horrible angels. Please, next question.”
