NEW YORK, March 26: Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore will be presented with the 2007 International Emmy Founders Award at the 35th International Emmy Awards Gala on November 19 in New York City.

This award, announced by Academy president & CEO, Bruce L. Paisner, recognizes Gore’s role in launching the cable and satellite channel Current TV and his ongoing efforts to alert the world to one of the great challenges of our time, global warming.

“The Academy presents the Founders Award to an individual or organization which crosses cultural boundaries to touch our common humanity—how perfect a definition for Al Gore,” said Paisner. “We in the media industry are honored that one of the world’s leading political figures has joined our global community of broadcasters."

“It is an honor to be recognized by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which, like Current TV, strives to create a global conversation through the powerful medium of television,” said Gore, the chairman of Current TV.

1. Isn't it nice to know

that some people do "get it"? I've never understood why conservatives deny global warming -- you'd think it was some Democratic program for the country, like Medicare, instead of a global process that is indeed occurring and threatening the quality of life, if not life itself, on the planet.

4. Not being in office gives him more freedom of movement and

time to continue his work.
