Given that, and the fact that weekends are sort of slow for news, I beg your forgiveness in advance if I post stories that are old, previously posted, already diaried, open-threaded, discussed in the comments, or flame-warred about already. Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
Hope everyone's having a lovely Sunday!
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Six months after achieving Oscar glory for his climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," former Vice President Al Gore is headed back to the red carpet for the Emmys, U.S. television's highest honors. Gore is expected to receive an "interactive television services" Emmy, a noncompetitive award, on Sunday for his fledgling cable network and online video venture Current TV, which he launched in August 2005. Current is one of five finalists for the award, decided by an interactive-media "peer jury" of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and presented for the first time during the live telecast of the Primetime Emmy Awards.

I will, of course, be following the Emmys live, Sunday evening my time. Just to, y'know, be vigilant. In case anything, uh, political happens. Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
