Gore is attempting to “gore” AFP's Hot Air balloon launch

Breaking news from the “Americans For Prosperity Hot Air tour” team on the ground in Nashville.

This is unbelievable.

The Nashville Parks Department is denying us permission to launch the balloon, citing the fact that our permit says balloon rides but not specifically the word "launch." (Is there a way to provide a balloon ride without a launch?)

This despite the fact that we have explained to them on the phone multiple times our precise flight plan and before today there was no indication that there was a problem or any defect in our permit.

Clearly, global warming alarmist Al Gore is calling in favors to stop the embarrassing visual and negative coverage surrounding our event and ratcheting up the beating he is taking over his home energy use. (You may have read about it – after all the “energy saving” features he put in his home, it is using MORE, not less energy. Yep, he is using more energy in one month than most Americans use in a year. He’s getting a spankin’ on that in the blogs).
